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!!!
Cake: Chocolate and Vanilla
Icing: Banana and Strawberry Buttercream
Covering: Buttercream with fondant embellishments
Hello Kitty Cookies – Favors
Our dear friends Chase and Bernie got married this past weekend. On one of our dinner/lunch dates prior to the wedding Bernie had asked if I had any ideas for favors that she could give her little flower girls. Of course any idea I have is baking related, so I suggest cookies! Her little niece Evalyn is going thru a “Hello Kitty” infatuation phase and Bernie thought she’d love Hello Kitty on her cookies.
They turned out A-DOR-ABLE!
Cookie: Shortbread
Icing: Flooded royal icing with edible marker image.
Mother’s Day Cake
What symbolizes Mother’s Day better than a dainty flower cake? Too bad cake doesn’t ship well or that would be my go-to gift for my mom and my mother-in-law every year. I’m sure they’re holding their breath for their gifts. Which miiiight end up being late. Better late than never!
Cake: Chocolate
Icing: Strawberry Buttercream
Covering: Fondant with gumpaste embellishments

Happy May Day!
I love May. Not only is it my birthday month, but May rejuvenates me. It seems like the air changes, the flowers come out, the weather stays nice, and good things happen!
Shyla had called me a month or so ago wanting cupcakes for her daughters birthday party. It didn’t end up working out and she called the other day and ordered a dozen cupcakes just because. I made her these delectible delights topped with a flower in honor of May Day. It seemed appropriate to have an edible “flower basket”.
Cupcake: Red Velvet
Icing: Buttercream
Topper: Gumpaste flowers

Cookies for a Cocktail Party
I met Bernie for the first time…gosh, I think it was on my wedding day, almost 3 years ago. Surely we met earlier, but now that I think about it maybe not! She is dating one of Colt’s BFF’s from high school and they are about to get MARRIED! In twenty two days to be exact. Chase and Bernie live about 40 minutes away and we don’t get together nearly enough. Lately though, it seems we’ve seen them a lot more and I’ve been able to spend some more time with Bernie. She is such a darling person and I’m so excited for her and Chase!
This weekend was her bridal shower and I wasn’t able to attend, so I sent cookies. Actually, I didn’t think I was even invited, and she swears my invite got “lost-in-the-mail.” 
Which I’m sure it did. Her and Chase have been sending everything to our old address. Even though Colt is IN their wedding we started thinking maybe we weren’t invited! Lol. I kid, I kid.
Anywho…back to the bridal shower. The theme was a cocktail party and I had recently purchased this a-dorable martini glass cookie cutter. I did half cosmos and half martini’s with olives. I found my inspiration over HERE at “The Decorated Cookie.” Which by-the-way, is a-freakin-dorable. The next time I’m at a bookstore I am buying her book. It’s seriously genius.
Cookie: Suzie’s Sugar Cookie
Icing: Royal Icing
