Princess Sami Cupcakes

These princess cupcakes are for Sami who is now 2! Her Mom sent me a link of cupcakes she saw online and I tried to make them exactly alike but could not freehand the crown so I used a mold for the fondant and added the edible dragees. I had purple candy melts waiting on the sideline just in case but felt good about the fondant. I hope she felt like a princess today!

Happy Birthday Eileen!

Carnival Cupcakes!

These cupcakes were made for a friend from the old neighborhood. She is a NYC girl now and it was so nice to hear from her. She requested the carnival theme since she is celebrating her birthday in a posh venue in the city called Carnival which looks like a fun, adventurous world behind closed doors! I made one batch of red velvet with homemade cream cheese frosting and another batch plain vanilla. The banners are two sided with images of vintage carnival posters and everything 'carnival' and exclaim "Happy Birthday Eileen!" on other sides. I really hope these will add to the memorable night I'm sure she will be having.

Girls' Night Out!

So excited to celebrate my best friend, Stacey's birthday ( a bit belated) and she choose to go to see this movie together as our little outing! It's girlie and fun, just like her!
Now for all you Sex and the City fans, it should be easy to figure out which cupcake represents which character from the series....I'm not thrilled with how the cosmopolitan drink came out but I just couldn't think of an obvious symbol for this character. I look forward to having a real cosmo with the girls after the chick flick and having a lot of laughs!!

You ought to be in pictures....

Notice the new photo just below the "About Me" feature? That one and the next couple were taken by a photographer (& client) named Shira Zimmerman. My little babycakes look like celebs after being photographed by her!!
