Order Up: Congratulations Tricia and Robert!

The Order:
2 dozen vanilla with vanilla buttercream
2 dozen chocolate with vanilla buttercream
4 dozen mini Reese's Love
2 dozen mini Vanilla with Vanilla buttercream
2 dozen mini Chocolate with Vanilla buttercream
2 dozen mini Red Velvet

This order was SO fun...and also a first for us - our first international order!  Tricia contacted us before she was flying in to celebrate their wedding state side - in PA!  How exciting! We went back and forth via email to nail down the order, but it was so nice working with her and getting all of the details nailed down!

After talking with Tricia - they got married in Ireland and were having a reception for their US family here.  They had cupcakes at the reception in Ireleand and wanted them in Philly - sign us up - this was so so so awesome!

Into the kitchen we went for the crazy baking weekend!  It was a crazy time and my kitchen looked like a crazy bomb of frosting and batter exploded in it, but we got it done and all the orders completed!  Here's some pictures from the setup we did!

Chocoalte chip cake - thrown in for variety :)

Red velvet little mini's!

Colored frosting to match the different colors in the bridesmaids bouqets!

When I talked with Tricia - she must have mentioned the peanut butter ones a few times, so we definitely knew these would be included!

Reese's Love!
Little chocolate buggers!

Chocolate yummies!

Chocolate and Vanilla ~ Colored Frostings!
Whole table setup! 

I do have to say, Tricia was such a laid back bride and looked lovely at her reception (which was held at The Irish Center in Mt. Airy) - and setup was so easy and the staff there were so nice!  They held onto the display pieces we used and called us to let us know when they'll be available for pick up.  So nice!

I did feel a little bad though, I had given Tricia a box to put aside so they would be able to have a taste - and they had to dip into her stash!  I was hoping we would be able to connect so I could give her a taste of the Reese's Love, but due to work and order schedules, I wasn't able to connect, but next time they are back on this side of the pond, I'll make sure to get some over there!

Best Wishes to you Tricia and Robert!  It was wonderful to work with you and I wish you many years of wedded bliss!

The order:
4 dozen mini Reese's Love
2 dozen mini Strawberries and Champagne
2 dozen mini Red Velvet

I think this is the last of them! Our cupcake queen for June and July, Kelly got in touch with us to make cupcakes for her sister in law's baby shower! This was the crazy weekend we had making 4 orders in 2 days!

As we baked our little hearts out and got the order ready, we were happy to make this order for Kelly and her family!

She picked up the cupcakes and away she went! I hope the mommy to be enjoyed her sweet treats and the shower guests enjoyed!

Thank you for keeping us baking, Kel!

Order Up: Baby Shower Treats!

The order:
2 dozen mini Reese's Love
1.5 dozen mini Strawberries and Champagne
1.5 dozen mini Red Velvet

At this time last year, we were preparing an order for a wedding day celebration, for the bridal party to enjoy some sweet treat before the I do's!

This year? The mother of the bride Gail got in touch with me to order cupcakes for the baby shower! How exciting!!!

Being that the weekend was filled with a lot of orders, we were able to mix and match the orders so there was a variety! After a pretty long morning of baking, frosting and packing up, we took the order down to the Post Office(adorable little bar in Bridesburg: Northeast Philadelphia) to deliver!

Best part? Gail was wearing a shirt that said 'Grandmom 2012' - too adorable!

I hope the Mommy to be enjoyed her cupcakes, and everyone else at the shower!

Here are some pictures from the cupcakes!

Order Up: Showers of Happiness!

The order:
2 dozen mini Reese's Love
2 dozen mini Red Velvet
2 dozen mini Strawberries and Champagne

A friend that works with my mom, Marsha, contacted me about having cupcakes made for her niece's bridal shower. After a few rounds of phone tag we were able to connect, finalize the order and get it on the schedule!

This order was another part of the crazy weekend of orders, but since this was a Friday night shower, it was easy to prepare and have everything ready!

Here are some pictures of the little cuppycakes getting ready to make their appearance!

I hope the bride to be enjoyed her treats, along with all of the guests! Best wishes to the soon to be Mrs!

Order Up: Happy 2nd birthday Jaelyn!

The order:
1 dozen vanilla cupcakes
1 Vanilla Sampler

Remember last year when we did a first birthday party that was Dr. Suess' All the Places You Will Go theme? Well Christine contacted us asking if we could make the Elmo's for her daughter, how could we say no?

Into the kitchen we went, vanilla batter was made and cupcakes set to bake in the oven, then it was time to prep all the frostings and decorations while they cooked and then cooled!

First up, we decorated the vanilla sampler, then it was Elmo time! We pipped his red fur and decorated his cute little face!

Everytime I make these little buggers I love them more and more! To end this I'll leave you with a few pictures of the order!

Hope you had a wonderful day Jaelyn and enjoyed your baby cupcakes!

Order Up: Block Party Fun!

The Order:
2 dozen mini Minty Girl Scouts
2 dozen mini Caramel Apple Pie

Donation: 2 dozen mini minty girl scouts and caramel apple pie

As Kelly was placing her orders for her summer events, she let me know that her annual block party was coming up and was letting me know she was placing an order but also asked if I'd be willing to donate cupcakes for their cupcake eating contest, and how could we say no?

We were in! The week leading up the block party, the heat decided to take a huge spike and got REALLY hot! So into the kitchen I went battling the heat to get the cupcakes ready!

The day of the block party I had a brain fart and realized that within a span of 18 hours I booked 4 orders due! Butttt I roughed it out and everyone got their cupcakes! Here's a few pictures from the order! I darkened the 'green' to more of a teal color to go with a summer theme!

So, what do you think? Next time you have a family fun day, why not bring a few klicious cupcakes along?

Enjoy!

Order Up: Happy Father's Day!

The order:
24 Mini Fluffy Elvis

Kelly has been our cupcake order queen lately!  I think I've seen her about 5 times this summer!  SHe got in touch with me a few days before father's day to ask if I could make her an order of the Fluffy Elvis mini's!  Of course!

Into the kitchen I go.  I'm not going to lie - for as delicious as this cupcake is, it's a P.I.T.A to make.  It's about a 6 step process!  Make the batter, bake the cupcake and cool, make the filling, core the cupcakes, fill the cupcakes, make the frosting, frost the cupcakes. 

However, one bite of these little babies and man oh man are they worth it!  

Mr. Fluffy Elvis
I hope the dad's enjoyed their Father's Day treat!

Order Up: Happy Family Weekend!

The order:
1 Vanilla Sampler

One of the awesome ladies that works in my office, Cherita, decided that since her mom was going to be visiting, she wanted to order cupcakes for their weekend. Since she's had a sample of the cupcakes that were brought into work, she couldn't decide what she wanted, so she picked the Vanilla Sampler pack - which includes Oreo Oh, Strawberries and Champagne, Vanilla with Vanilla buttercream and Cookie Dough. 

Into the kitchen I went to bake up the little beauties and while they were baking, I made the cookie dough filling to set...only it didn't set.  I went over the recipe, and I know I did everything the way it said but it turned into cookie dough soup - grosssss!

To make up for it, I included a couple extra cupcakes :)  And since I was running around like crazy, I forgot to take pictures that day, so here are some stock photos!



Hope you and your family enjoyed every bite Cherita!!!
