Ninjago!

In our house it's all about Lego Batman, but for my nephew it's Lego Ninja, Ninjago to "get it right" as the kids would say. Since I had been looking for a reason to make Lego cupcakes, why not make some for my nephews Birthday. Happy Birthday Jacob!

Jack Party!

Jack Skellington and The Nightmare before Christmas. Anything that brings the joys of Halloween and Christmas together is the tops in my book. Being able to make these cupcakes in July, well it was like Christmas!

Bridal Shower

I kicked off my vacation from my full time job with 6 dozen cupcakes for a bridal shower. I don't do many events for adults so I was a little nervous about this one. The requests were for leaves, mums and fall colors. I was also told the bride was not a "girly girl" and she even had a chocolate diamond. With those things in mind, and an order for white, chocolate and red velvet cupcakes, here is what we came up with. I've been told they were a hit!

A Sample Order

A good friend of our family was sweet enough to recommend me for an upcoming bridal shower her daughter was involved with. Since the bride and her mom had never tasted my cupcakes samples were requested. To give them a nice assortment I made red velvet with cream cheese icing (my favorite), chocolate with buttercream icing and a lemon meringue cupcake. Since they were samples, I didn't go crazy with decorations, but none the less I still thought they were pretty enough to share!

A Central Pa Goodbye

So today we said goodbye to our district manager, Joe. Joe joined the Central PA team a few years ago, relocating from Jersey. To say it was a bit of culture shock for him would be a huge understatement. I remember his reaction to seeing a deer head on a neighbors wall, his attempt at camping... I could go on and on... So I had to give him a good bye that was everything he thought Central PA was... Farms, deer antlers...and the bugs just had to be thrown in there. The stories of his spider fears will have to be another entry.

Best of luck in Delaware, Big Fin.

West Branch Fair

When a friend ask me if I could donate some cupcakes to the school fair for them to sell at one of their booths, I was happy to help.  West Branch is a great school, and their fair is a great event.  I hope the cupcakes help with their fundraising.   Check out this wonderful school! http://www.westbranchschool.org/

A Despicable Birthday

Minions Assemble! Freeze Ray! Curse You Tiny Toilet!

Ah, I could keep going and going. Despicable Me is a favorite movie in our home, so when it came time for our home to celebrate a Birthday, Despicable Me seemed like the perfect theme! First up in the celebrations, Cupcakes for Alex's Preschool Class. I sure hope they love this cute army of minions.
