Capt. Matt America

It's Matt's 4th Birthday! His Mom, good friend Mary, requested chocolate Super Hero cupcakes with more Capt. America than the other varieties I offered. I had hoped to see the birthday boy when I delivered these to their home but he was napping. His family loved them and I'm pretty sure he did too. Happy Birthday Matt!!

Happy Birthday Lucas!

Love this recipient of these Birthday cupcakes so much. Lucas is having a whole weekend to celebrate his 11th birthday. Tonight, he has a bunch of his friends sleeping over. They all play a video game that I have never heard of but if you know me, that doesn't mean it's an unpopular game! Lucas requested MineCraft Creepers. I had to do research and was able to create these for him. He'll be headed to Great Wolf over the weekend and sure to have a blast! I wish I could make time slow down a little more because I can't believe how fast my Lucas has grown! XOXO

Happy Birthday Emily & Grandma!

The Rozzo family is a special one. It makes me feel great when they request cupcakes for their special occasions. Emily is THREE and Grandma is another year older! LOL These are red velvets with cream cheese icing. SO sorry it took me so long to post!

Suzanne's Thanksgiving Cupcakes

Feels like ages since I made these Thanksgiving cupcakes for my good friend, Suzanne. Suzanne is Class Mom at her daughter's school and ordered these for their classroom Thanksgiving celebration. Our computer broke down and I was unable to post these right away. It's December and everyone is buzzing over the holidays and I finally got these up. Thank you Suzanne for thinking of me when it's time to break out a cupcake. I am THANKFUL to you and all my many regular customers.

Happy Birthday Nadia!

These Monster High chocolate and vanilla cupcakes were made for Nadia's Birthday party. Nadia'a Mom, Janice ordered the four dozen cupcakes and wanted Monster High as the theme again (see October 17, 2012) since the first batch made for Nadia's school celebration were such a hit. I wanted to make more of the fondant toppers but was pressed for time and Janice agreed that the majority of the toppers be the Monster High logo made on wafer paper. I hope that the party guests loved the cupcakes!

Happy 3rd Birthday Emily!

These simple birthday cupcakes are for THREE year old Emily. Emily's Mom, Erin, called me and requested pink and purple butterflies and flowers for her classroom party at Pixie. It's always a treat for me to see the child light up when they see their cupcakes. Emily is growing so fast.....slow down! Erin also ordered Halloween themed cupcakes for her son Joseph's classroom celebration that had to be postponed due to Hurricane Sandy. It was my pleasure to know that the kids got a chance to celebrate this holiday together afterall.

Birthday Surprise for Relief Worker Ryan!

You are looking at the outcome of a very calculated and suspenseful delivery to date! Through six degrees (really three) of separation, I was contacted by Tracy, a loving and determined sister, who really wanted to find a way to make her brother Ryan's birthday special. Ryan lives in Maine but has been in New York, far from his home and family, to aid in the relief post Hurricane Sandy. Ryan and his fellow crew have been sleeping in their trucks and working long days to cut trees and remove limbs that have fallen due to the relentless storm. Tracy lives in Florida but that didn't hinder her determination in finding a way to get her brother to feel the love on his day! I was able to bake three dozen vanilla and chocolate cupcakes as she worked on the details of how and when I can get them to him as his location changes constantly. I've been housing my family from Long Beach which is just the natural thing to do and together we are making the best of this situation but I had a deep yearning to reach out to someone I don't know personally, who is in need. This opportunity landed on my lap and I was so excited that we could pull it off! Ryan's supervisor was in on the surprise and helped navigate the delivery and the surprise. It was great to see all the crew come together and sense the comradeship among them. After giving Ryan his cupcakes, his stunned look and smile made it all worthwhile! He was in awe that his sister was able to pull this off! Here are the pictures of the delivery and the group shots. New York thanks you all to Lucas Tree Trimming for all your time, hard work, and dedication! THANK YOU and HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN! Tracy & I both agree this will be a memorable one for you and a friendship gained across the miles!
