This cake was really special to make for Courtney and Charlie. They are genuinely the nicest couple ever!

Did I mention my cupcakes were published??

I can't believe I forgot to write about some of my cupcakes being featured in a local magazine! There is a magazine in here called Alaska Baby & Child (http://www.alaskababymag.com/). The last issue they did a special on child birthday parties, including a section on birthday cakes. I was asked to come up with a theme for cupcakes or cake for a fun birthday. I decided to go with the farm theme, because I love the ones I made for my niece's birthday a few years back. When the magazine came out, I was so excited to see that I had made two pages! Also, when you go to their website my cupcakes are on the front page for a featured article.

This is a picture from the website, the article was titled "The Sweetest Day"! See more pictures online here.

So...I've decided to change things up a bit...

I originally created this blog to follow just my cakes and creations. I have since slowed waaay down on making cakes. Blame it on the move or the kitchen construction, but I want to take this blog on a different route. I am making this about anything and everything. I won't be offended if you quit following now...

Sesame Street cupcakes!

Oh, these guys were so much fun to make! Another full day of piping...but the end result was worth it! Made for another friend's child's 2nd birthday! It's amazing what you can create with a vat of frosting and a lot more food coloring...

Dora Cake

I made this for a friends child's first birthday. Haven't made a character cake in quite a while, but it was fun. My hand was cramping after using a piping bag for what seems like days...

More Cupcakes...

More cupcakes. See...they are so versatile... You can frost them to make them look like a big sheet cake then when you go to serve..no messy cutting. These were made for my niece for her second birthday. The gumpaste animals are all made by me. I love them!

Cupcakes!!

With the popularity of cupcakes lately I have come to realize why I love cupcakes - They are all ready to be served individually. You don't have to mess with cutting a messy cake or dessert! You can make them in an endless combination of flavors. My personal favorite so far....either the lemon with a lemon curd filling and lemony buttercream to top OR chocolate, chocolate, chocolate....mmmm.
