Order Up: Happy 2nd Birthday Brendan!

The order:
1 Jumbo Chocolate Cupcake, decorated to look like Elmo

One of our friends sent Rich a text to ask if we would be able to make a jumbo cupcake that looked like Elmo...of course we love making Elmo! But the jumbo cupcake? Yikes, the last one we made, it was a disaster and I almost had a nervous breakdown.

However piping Elmo's 'fur' uses a different method so I decided to go for it!

As the cupcake baked, I made the frostings and dyed it red. Deciding what to use for the smile was easy Oreo cookies! For the eyes, jumbo marshmallows did the trick and the nose was made from orange frosting :)

As the cupcake was frosted to get it to 'stick' together, the inside was piped with chocolate buttercream(and a handful of chocolate chips ;) then all the fur was piped, all the facial features attached and away he went!

Frank was awesome and came to pick up the cupcake too, as it was a crazy weekend!

Happy 2nd Birthday Brendan! Hope you enjoyed your chocolate cupcake!

Order Up: Happy 14th Birthday Sabrina!!

The Order:
1 Vanilla Sampler
1 Chocolate Sampler

A few weeks ago, I got an email from Jessica inquiring about a placing a cupcake order to sample or cupcakes. They had recently purchased cupcakes from a cupcakery in Paoli(I wont mention any names but they were 'gourmet')...and a the consensus was they were dry! Since we weren't able to connect, a few weeks later she emailed again requesting cupcakes for her niece's birthday so we were in!

In order to try as many cupcakes a possible, she order the vanilla sampler and a chocolate sampler!

Into the kitchen we went, cupcakes were baked and ready for delivery!

After 'Happy birthday' was sang to Sabrina, Jessica was sweet enough to send some pictures of the celebration! Look at the pretty smiles! I think we can say they were happy that their cupcakes weren't dry!

Happy birthday Sabrina!

Order Up: Happy 1st Birthday Scarlett!

The order:
1 dozen vanilla cupcakes
2 dozen mini Oreo Oh
2 dozen mini Reese's Love

Yay! I was waiting to make these cupcakes for months! My friend Jen contacted me when she was thinking of ideas for Scarlett's first birthday party and the theme was Minnie Mouse! Ahhh yayyyy!

Jen ordered a cupcake stand, little cupcake picks, and then decided on a simple design (ears and a bow) for the top of the cupcakes! Into the kitchen we went and baked those little beauties right up!

First we made the vanillas for Minnie and Mickey, then the little ones were made for Oreo Oh and Reese's Love!

Decorating was easy, using red cupcake liners and just swirling the icing on top, adding chocolate disks as ears and a chocolate now we used a mold to make! Mickey got yellow dots instead of a bow ;)

After they were baked up, it was time to deliver them to the birthday girl! A little traffic and a detour caused us to be late a little, but we made it and delivered the cupcakes!

The birthday girl approved and ate the whole thing!!!!

Happy First Birthday Scarlett!!!

Order Up: Showers of Happiness for Kim!

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

A few weeks ago, one of my mom's friends emailed me about ordering cupcakes for her daughter's bridal shower! How could we say no? My sister and Kim went to school together and played softball together! After a few times playing phone tag and emailing, the final number and flavors were complete and it was time to wait for the shower :)

Into the kitchen we went the morning the cupcakes were due and the baking commenced! Since the premium cupcakes come 'accessorized' there wasn't much to decorate them, so it was pretty simple! All the little guys were baked up, boxed up and ready for pickup!

Congratulations and best wishes Kim! I hope you have a wonderful wedding day and I know you'll make a beautiful bride! Hope you enjoyed all of your shower and the cupcakes!
