our first wedding experience

We had the pleasure of being a part of a wedding this summer!  We worked with the Bride to come up with a beautiful cupcake display of around 300 cupcakes.  We whipped these cupcakes up the day before the wedding and iced them the day of, just before delivery.  The Bride had also provided us with fresh pansies from a relatives garden, which really give these cupcakes a finishing touch.  There were not enough flowers for each cupcake, so we evenly distributed them among the flavors.

The flavors they chose were, Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Swiss Meringue Buttercream, Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream, Vanilla Cupcakes with Milk Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream, and Vanilla Cupcakes with Lemon Swiss Meringue Buttercream.  A delicious selection!

On the day of the wedding we found all the platters set up with a blue background with homemade fabric bunting.  A very beautiful effect.  We had to do a little re-arranging in order to fit as many cupcakes on the table as possible, but in the end I think it looked spectacular!

The Bride had also asked for a few more details, such as the "Sweet" signs to label each flavor, and a dozen gluten free cupcakes, which we purchased from Cake-ology, a wonderful local bakery.

A few weeks after the wedding we were sent a link to the Photographer's blog, Photography by Jodi, and absolutely loved the pictures!  She truly captured the beauty of this cupcake display and made our cupcakes look even yummier!  Make sure you check out Jodi's blog here!  Thanks, Jodi for allowing us to use your photos!

What a fun experience!  We really enjoyed pulling it all together!

indulgent easter cupcakes

We're always looking for a new way to make regular cupcakes more fun and more indulgent! We decided to experiment with chocolate eggs and our newly found vanilla cupcake recipe.

Vanilla cupcakes...or cake for that matter...is notoriously dry. We have tested and tasted numerous vanilla cupcake recipes and finally found one that meets our standards. This recipe is simple and produces moist results time and time again. We can now offer vanilla cupcakes as an option.

So. Take a yummy vanilla cupcake and bake it with a cadbury creme or caramilk egg inside and you have perfection! We decided to experiment with this concept and tried baking the cupcakes with a regular chocolate egg, a creme egg, and a caramilk egg. The result was so tasty that we have decided to offer this as our Easter cupcake. Contact us soon to place your order and wow all your friends and family this Easter with these indulgent tasty treats!

valentine's day

We completed a couple of orders for valentine's day. All of them topped with very tasty soft chocolate sugar cookies. The cookies were so much fun to decorate...especially since we discovered a new and easy technique that results in perfection every time!

We were also asked by a good friend to make a special valentine's delivery to her loved one!

This was such a fun delivery to make. On Valenine's Day I went to our friend's husband's workplace to surprise him and his classroom (he's a teacher) with these little cupcakes! One box of cupcakes had "Why do I love you so much?" written in fondant on the cookie topper and the second box had "Happy V-Day" written on them. 

It was so fun to walk into the school office knowing that our friend's husband had no idea these cutie cupcakes were coming his way! Unfortunately I wasn't able to stay until he came down to the office to see his reaction, but if the reaction of all the ladies in the office was any indication, they were a hit!
