Easter Chicks!

These adorable cupcakes were made for my friend Tracey and her family and also a duplicate batch made for a brand new customer named Trish. The bright colors and eager appetites of the chicks are all staple things that we see on Easter in my home and hope that they bring out the kid in all of those who indulge! This time of year is such a great time to notice all the nature around us, the little blooms sticking out of the ground, as we shed our winter coats and boots for spring jackets and enjoy the fresh air more. It is also a time to reflect about all the do overs we have, the fresh starts we get when we decide to change something, break a habit or just see the opportunity with a new beginning which is what Easter means to me. I have a couple of friends who are struggling right now with extreme circumstances and they are close in my heart as I am fortunate enough to share this holiday with my loving family, my wonderful parents in my home. Although there are many I won't see today, they are always on my mind and in my heart. Hoping you all have a HAPPY EASTER!

Is there a Dr. in the house?

Megan contacted me and asked me to bake vanilla cupcakes for her friends that are soon to-be Doctors! I'm sure it felt good for them to see that title before their names, even if just o a cupcake!! Congratulations on such a huge accomplishment!

Plenty for her Seventy!

Delayed posting to blog. Date of event, March 16, 2013. Gina ordered these cupcake favors to celebrate her Mother's 70th Birthday. Her colors were white and lavender and homemade banners were requested for each little sweet take home momento.

Alec's Super Heroes!

Delayed posting to blog. Date of event - March 1, 2013. Elayna, contacted me and ordered these Super Hero cupcakes for her son, Alec who was celebrating his fourth birthday. I love that Elayna knew exactly which super heroes had to be included. I have done super hero cupcakes before but new to my fondant experience was Thor and Ironman. I was delighted she approved both designs and I was able to move forward with the order. Hope that Alec felt like a hero on his big day!

100 Days of School

New customer Kerri, found me through longtime and loyal friend (& customer) Janet. Kerri wanted to have cupcakes at her daughter's school for their 100th Day of School! She requested the school's colors be represented and split the flavors both chocolate and vanilla. It was great to meet for the first time in person as is the case in most of my Babycaking. It doesn't get old, that great feeling when someone who's never met me will hire me upon contact because of the nice things they've heard about me and/or the cupcakes. It flatters me when there are tons of bakeries and cupcake specialty shops popping up everywhere. Thank you Kerri and Janet!

Julie's Sweet Sixteen!

These cupcake favors are going to be handed out at Julie's Sweet Sixteen tonight. Elly, Julie's Mom, is a friend from high school and we've reconnected through Facebook and she has been so loyal to me, ordering cupcakes for both of her daughters' special events. This is the cream of the crop thus far! Elly contact me back in August of 2011 to secure me for the date of her daughter's celebration. I was quite flattered! She originally had another theme but Julie changed her mind and went with a web comic called Homestuck. These are the symbols of "The Kingdoms of Prospit and Derse." She sent me a picture of the symbols photographed all together and I researched trying to get some of these symbols photographed individually but had no such luck on all four. There are 84 cupcakes in total and she had a custom label printed and supplied the purple wired ribbon to package these lovely favors up. The flavors are split up chocolate and vanilla and I used edible wafer paper to get the very symbols sent to me on the cupcakes. I felt a little stunted in my inability to find images of these symbols but I really love the finished outcome! I cannot believe Elly has a daughter who is SIXTEEN! I can remember when we were that age! I hope tonight is a wonderful night for your family and friends and that Julie feels like the Queen of her own Kingdom!!

Antonio's Angry Birds!

These Angry Birds cupcakes were ordered by Kathya for her son Antonio's 10th Birthday party. Kathya is a loyal customer who orders for all her family's special events and it was fun to make these for Antonio's double digit milestone birthday. These Angry Birds are sure to make Antonio and his friends very HAPPY! Happy 10th Birthday!!
