**rockstars**

I made these star cupcakes as a gift for my friend Jaclyn for her rockstar themed birthday party last month. She loves stars so it was a great opportunity to create these fun treats. When I saw the zebra print cupcake liners I knew they would compliment the red, black and silver stars perfectly! We dressed the cupcake stand up with a red feather boa and silver skull to complete the look. So much fun for a super fun party!!

Happy Birthday Jaclyn!!

Last month I was contacted by Erin about cupcakes for her jewelry shows. Erin is a Stella and Dot jewelry consultant and her lucky ladies get to feast on some delectable goodies at each of her trunk shows! Sounds like a good time to me!! Erin was kind enough to give me full creative license with the cupcakes so I thought that daisies and small flowers on a bed of lime green grass would be cute. Good enough to eat!

A huge thanks to Erin for contacting me, I can't wait to work with you again :) If you are interested in hosting a Stella and Dot party or ordering jewelry check out Erin's website to get in touch with her.

something old, something new...

Sooooo...this much I know is true...I am a HORRIBLE blogger :S Ugghhhhh!!!! Seems like the cupcake life gets away from me sometimes and before I know it I am 3 or 4 (or more) blog entries behind. I suppose that it a sign of booming business so I shouldn't complain! Haha! I am weeks away from the last year of my twenty-somethings so I figured I should make a birthday resolution this year...to keep up with the blogging!!! As for right now I will get caught up :)

First out of the gates are some absolutely adorable bridal shower cupcakes for my friend Jennifer Webber over at Wink Wedding and Event Planning. Jen ordered these cupcakes for her friend Vanessa's celebration. I LOVE monogrammed cupcakes for a personalized touch. The hearts were pretty cute too!

Hope you enjoyed the cupcakes! Congrats Vanessa!!

These very special cupcakes were made with my (not so little anymore!) Hannah for her ballet recital. She wanted to help make the cupcakes for her instructors and ballet class so we had a blast putting them together after school last week. She was a HUGE help!! The cupcakes were vanilla with vanilla buttercream icing. The fondant decorations included pink ballet shoes, tutus, music notes and flowers.

THANK YOU HANNAH!!! You can help Auntie Lori anytime!!

done and done

These cupcakes were made for my friend Diana for her mother-in-law, Claire's, retirement party. The cupcakes spell out "Happy Retirement Claire". And every retirement celebration needs balloons and wine!! Haha! The cupcakes were vanilla and chocolate flavoured with vanilla buttercream icing.

Happy Retirement Claire!! Enjoy!

bigger is better

These cupcakes were made for my brother in-law for a work celebration. They were vanilla and chocolate flavoured with vanilla buttercream icing and star and coloured ball sprinkles. The first three pictures are of jumbo cupcakes while the last two pictures are standard sized.

What are little boys made of? Chocolate buttercream of course!! These adorable baby shower cupcakes were made for my friend Diana for her friend's baby shower. They were vanilla and chocolate with super yummy chocolate buttercream icing :) I have to say that I LOVE the baby blue and pale yellow, green and white against the dark icing...so pretty! It is a little hard to see in the pictures but the monogrammed cupcakes spell out "Welcome Riley".

Welcome to the world little Riley!! Just wait until you try your very first cupcake!!
