Minnie Mouse Party – Birthday Cupcakes – King City, CA

One of my most loyal clients, Sylvia, had another birthday in the family!  This time it was her granddaughter Audryna’s second birthday.  The party was being done with a Minnie Mouse theme.  I made cupcake toppers that included hand drawn edible ink images of Minnie Mouse’s face and Minnie Mouse ears and bows.

Sylvia called me after the party and said everyone loved the cupcakes!

Can’t wait to make another sweet treat for this amazing family.   

Happy Birthday Audryna!!!

Spongebob Squarepants – Favors

Does the theme song to Spongebob pop into your head every time you hear his name?  Because it does in mine.  Perhaps that’s because Spongebob plays non-stop around these parts.  It’s safe to say that my son is his number one fan.  I mentioned awhile back about making him a Spongebob cake for his birthday, and since then he’s been talking about it non-stop.  “Momma, you make-a-me my Pongebob cake?”  His birthday isn’t until the end of June and he’s been saying it for about 3 months now.  That kid and his memory….if only mine was still in tact like that. 

I made these cookies for Chase and Bernie’s wedding, so they could hand them out as favors to the little ring bearers.  Since Caden was a ring bearer, he got them and loved them.  He also got this killer shirt that says “Ring Security”.  It is darling.

Cookie:  Shortbread

Icing:  Flooded Royal Icing with Edible Marker image

Pink Poodle Birthday Party!

Sarah contacted me a month or so ago about making cupcakes for her daughters 5th pink poodle themed birthday party.  We nailed down a design and I started to work on these a-dorable pink poodle cupcake toppers.  Each poodle is hand cut with an exacto knife out of foam and then covered in glitter. 

When I walked in the house to bring the cupcake stand inside her littlest one said, “You are so beautiful!”  Thank you little angel for making my day!  The girls helped me set up and the birthday girl Sofie handed me the toppers to put on the cupcakes.  Every time she handed me one I said, “Thank you ma’am.”  After a couple of times she said, “Can you please stop calling me that?  I don’t like to be called MAN.”  Her mom started laughing and explained to her that I wasn’t calling her MAN but I was saying Ma’am.  Sarah had picked out darling decorations and the food looked SCRUMPTIOUS.  It’s fun to see how parties come together!

Thank you Sarah for letting me be a part of Sofie’s special day! 

Happy BIRTHDAY SOFIE!

Stella’s First Birthday Dessert Table

Meet Stella.

She is the offspring of our American Bulldogs.  She was the “Lone Ranger” of Azzie’s first litter.  The only pup.  And because of it, she is gi-normous.  Her family affectionately calls her the “horse”.  She is a big, gentle, dopey giant of a dog and I just love her.

Her first birthday was April 5th and I wanted to make something special for her and her family (which happens to be my BFF).  So I set off to find a dog friendly cake/cookie recipe.  I know that in order to have a proper celebration I needed human food as well.  I made these dog themed cupcake toppers and cookies.  The no-bake-cookies were supposed to resemble…well, you know. 

Happy Birthday Stella Dear!
