Baby Feet – Baby Shower Cake – Soledad, CA

My adorable delivery girl Alexis had her baby shower last weekend.  She is due with her little boy the beginning of September, although my bets are on her delivering early.   

Her shower was set up beautifully and her dessert table made a sweet addition to her baby shower decor!

Flavors for her shower included a marble cake with chocolate buttercream, vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream topped with white sugar beads and red velvet/cream cheese cake balls dipped in dark chocolate and drizzled with white chocolate. 

Congratulations Alexis on your little one. 

He’s going to be such a handsome little baby!  I can’t wait to meet him.

Monkey is One – Birthday Cupcakes – Marina, CA

This little mini cake and cupcakes has a special place in my heart.  Kim was my very very very very first client.  I had posted an ad on craigslist, I had zero pictures of my work, and was hungry for a job.  She contacted me to make her a wedding cake since her and her husband were eloping.  I was thrilled beyond belief when she stumbled across my site again and asked me to make cupcakes and a mini cake for her son’s first birthday party.

My favorite part of the cake was the monkey topper.  He’s just so squeezeable.  I want to keep him as a pet!

Happy First Birthday Ethan!!!

Cupcakes/Cake:  Chocolate and Vanilla

4th of July BBQ – Holiday Cupcakes – Watsonville, CA

We took the brood over to some of our favorites house yesterday to celebrate the 4th with a BBQ.  In order to tie the cupcakes in with the 4th of July them, I did some flags and fireworks with my edible markers.  I had seen this darling idea of drawing on marshmallows HERE and had been dying to try out some of her drawing tutorials.  I used the drawn on marshmallows as the cupcake toppers.  And voila, a 4th of July BBQ festive cupcake display.

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!!! 

Cupcake:  Vanilla

Icing:  Banana Buttercream

Peanut Butter Fudge – Birthday Cupcakes

I had another birthday.  I’m another year older and wiser.  And, it just so happens that my MIL’s birthday is on the same day as mine.  That’s right, we’re birthday twins, awwww.  And my husband’s dad’s birthday is the day after.  Needless to say, while I L-O-V-E the month of May, my husband dreads it.  To celebrate the occassion, I made cupcakes.  And displayed them on one of my killer new cupcake stands.  And baked them in happy bright neon colored paper.  I knew that they would turn out yummy- but I was unprepared for the kind of fireworks that happened in my mouth while eating them. 

Holy hello.

They were UN-believeably good.  My husband couldn’t stop eating them.  They melted in your mouth.

YUMMMMM.

Cupcake:  Chocolate

Icing:  Peanut Butter Fudge Buttercream with crushed Peanuts
