Order Up: Happy Birthday Little Ry and Alexa!

The order:

2 Dozen Funfetti (vanilla with rainbow sprinkles) with vanilla buttercream

2 Dozen Chub Rub

This order has been in the works for a while! A few months ago, Rose, Alexa's momma contacted me when she was thinking about Dora cupcakes for the birthday party. Then Rain, Ryan's mom, contacted me to let me know this order was a go! Since this party was a two-fer, the theme was Dora and Cars - so the cupcakes were going to be decorated as such!

So into the kitchen I went. I baked up the chocolate cupcakes for the Cub Rub, then the vanilla for the funfetti...which was homemade! Nothing like adding bright sprinkles to the batter to look cute and girly! As the cupcakes were baking, the cupcakes picks were made.

Two batches of buttercream, pretty swirls and colorful sprinkles, the Dora cupcakes were done! The cupcake picks were placed on top and the pretty little girls were packaged up and ready to go!

Hello little Dora and your cute backpack!
After all these orders, I still love the wrapping around them!

Next up were getting Tow Mater and Lightning McQueen ready to go. Rain suggested Chub Rub since it is topped with Graham cracker to look like dirt road! LOVED it!

We cored the cupcakes, filled them with delicious marshmellow filling, topped with buttercream and crushed graham crackers. YUMMMMMMMMY! Once they were done, we topped the cupcakes with the picks and they were boxed up and ready to race away!

Hello little fellas!

Once everything was packed up, it was off to delivery at this awesome kids bounce place! They had their own room, with lots of bounce houses, games, and tons of awesome areas for the kids to play!

Happy Birthday Little Ry and Alexa - hope you enjoyed your cupcakes and birthday celebrations! Lucky little kids!

Order Up: Happy Birthday Jesse!

The order:

1 dozen chocolate cupcakes with buttercream icing

See that green guy right there? Yup, that's the inspiration for the cupcake order we did! Kris contacted me about a week ago and wanted to get a special birthday girl some cupcakes decorated like zombies...specifically from a show Invader Zim. She sent over some pictures and I picked the green guy cause, let's be honest, his tongue is adorable!

So into the kitchen I went, chocolate cupcakes were baked, icing was prepared and colored green. Then it was time to decorate.

First I added a layer of green buttercream. For the tongues I used some strawberry gum sticks. Then I added black lines to mimic the ones he had...and the eyes were piped with frosting, adding a dot of black them.

I think they turned out a little kick ass if I do say so myself. Each one looked similar but was unique! And they were so much fun to make! I debated using fondant to make the lines perfect, but I don't like the taste and I think that using buttercream gave each one their own personality!

They were boxed up and waiting for pickup and it was awesome that I got to watch Kris show Jesse the cupcakes! She told her she got her an Elmo cake - but really these bad boys were waiting for her!

Kris send me this picture of the birthday girl and her cupcakes! Apparently Klicious Cupcakes loves tailgates at the Eagles!

Happy birthday Jesse! Hope you enjoyed your Zombie suprise and the Eagles win just for you!

Order Up: Happy Birthday Mikey!

The order:
24 mini basic vanilla cupcakes
2 XLarge Cookie Dough

This is another order from our one and only cupcake gremlin :) One of her best friends was having a birthday celebration and she wanted cupcakes for him. After numerous texts back and forth, we decided on the order and away to the kitchen I went!

First, for those who don't know...our gremlin has ordered cupcakes for just about everyone of her friends, sisters, any reason she can to get her paws on some cupcakes! So being awesome, I made sure that she got an extra large cupcake of her own so she didn't have to "oopsie" any!

Jumbo vanilla cupcake, cookie dough center, cream cheese frosting!


Hello little minis! Decorated with chocolate sprinkles, blue sprinkles and 2 candles, cause we make orders special like that!

I loved the idea of the large ones for the birthday boy to enjoy!

Hope you enjoyed your cupcakes you little gremlin...and a happiest of birthdays to the special birthday boy!

Wedding Love: Silka and Frank!

The order:

30 Red Velvet

30 Chocolate with Cream Cheese Frosting

30 Vanilla with Cream Cheese Frosting

Wow. Where to even begin with this blog.

First, I want to apologize for it being oh, 2 months late.

Second. This order was so dear to my heart. This event was years in the making and even as I sit here now thinking about it, it makes my heart swell with happiness. This order was for my best friend, Silka's, wedding. I've watched her relationship with Frank develop ,over the 7 years I've known her, into something pretty amazing. No it wasn't always rainbows and butterflies, but they made their relationship work for them, and I certainly learned a lot from it.

Now that the sappiness is out of the way, let's get to the good stuff. Her wedding was on a Friday night, which meant I got to take off of work and get up to NY. Thursday night was baking night and that went pretty smoothly...except it went very late so instead of heading to NY like the plans called for, Steph and I waited until Friday morning.

Upon getting to NY, we had lunch at her mom's house and took a little bit to relax since we couldn't get into the venue until 7 PM. Then the heat was on.

We arrived, got to the hall and got to frosting. While Steph swirled her life away, I was setting up the table and arranging the lifts and making sure the drapery worked. It was team in motion! Once that was completed, we arranged the cupcakes into their wrappers - red and gold - to color coordinate!

Now, onto the good stuff, the pictures!

Here's a picture of the table all set up!

Side view!

Cutting the cake! (Confession, I didn't make the cake, but bought a small one and decorated it with the leftover flowers used in her hair!)

Hello pretty little vanilla babies!

Beautiful chocolates. I loved these wrappers!

And I can't miss an opportunity for a photo op! From left to right, Isis, Silka and I...they are more than friends, they are my family and like sister to me. I can't even explain how amazing they are.

It was a wrap once we made sure the bride got her cupcake...I think that smile says she loved it all!

Congratulations Silka and Frank and may you have many more years of wonderful, wedded bliss...and cupcakes ;)

Order Up: Baby Shower Celebration!

The order:
1 Dozen Chocolate Chip with Chocolate buttercream
1 Dozen Vanilla with Chocolate buttercream
1 Dozen Chocoalte with Vanilla buttercream
1 Dozen Red Velvet
1 Dozen Weezy's Carrot Cake

A few weeks ago, my moms friend from work contacted me about ordering cupcakes for the baby shower she was hosting for her daughter. At the time she wasn't sure about the response and wanted to talk through some ideas for what we could do to make the cupcakes special. I had an idea of a diaper cupcake and then using toppers to tie in the theme.

Maureen gave my mom a copy of the invitation - which was an animal theme with the colors of yellow, blue and green. When walking through Walmart one day, in the card section, I came across adorable stickers with assorted zoo animals on them! They were perfect. I then pulled out the scrap paper, paper cutters and got to work!

Once they were done, it was time to hit the kitchen to finish up the baking. Since we already had orders for Red Velvet and Chocolate, they were baked. That morning, it was time to make the vanilla, chocolate chip and Weezy's Carrot Cake.

First up were the vanilla. One the batter was made and put in the oven, it was time to start the carrot cake. I shredded the carrots, mixed up the cinnamon smelling batter and voila into the oven they went.

As the cupcakes finished up baking, I prepped the frostings and piping bags. Once the cupcakes were cooled, they were frosted and boxed up.

This order was one that I was taking to deliver and setup. I arrived at the restaurant and they did a great job at making it look adorable! The cake table was set up and already had some decorations so I got right to work.

First, I setup the cupcake stand and put the chocolate frosted cupcakes scattered on the stand. I topped each cupcake with one of the cupcake toppers and made sure Mr Giraffe was front and center on the top!


Seriously - isn't he adorable?
Next up, I set out the cake stand, topped with cupcakes, then added a larger cupcake pick to each one, then tied around them with a polka dot ribbon in the colors to accent. The front cupcakes were topped with tissue paper pics!

Hello little diaper cupcakes!

Lastly, we borrowed a silver platter from the restaurant to display the rest of the cupcakes. I set those up, added the cupcake toppers and voila!

I think the cupcake table came out adorable - what do you think?

Congratulations Maureen and Momma to Be - I hope you enjoyed your cupcakes and can't wait to hear when the baby arrives!

Order Up: Thanksgiving Pot Luck!

The order:
3 Dozen cupcakes

My amazing cousin Michelle - who I've already told you about has done all of my graphic work. She's branched out and created a whole etsy site, has her own website and Facebook page, contacted me a while ago about wanting cupcakes for a Thanksgiving pot luck dinner that she was attending.

But stop. If you haven't already done so, go check out her blog and "Like" her on Facebook. NOW. Go.

Good little cupcakes :)

So the only thing Michelle said is that she would like a fall flavor included in the order - which will be the Caramel Apple Pie. Knowing she also loves the Reese's Love and Red Velvet, I decided to make her a number of minis so she can mix and match.

We also talked about making them look "fall" - but I wasn't about to put a turkey or anything on them, so I rolled out some fondant for the Reese's Love and made little leaves. I hate the way some fondant tastes, so I made them thin and put them on top so if people didn't want to eat, they didn't have to! So once the decorating was done, they were boxed up and ready to go!

Happy little Reese's Love and Red Velvets!

Close up of the leaves...I think they matched the icing and sprinkles perfectly!

Since the Caramel Apple Pie were included, I decided to make little apples out of fondant to place on top as well! How cute!

Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmy!

Hope you had a yummy dinner and enjoyed your pot luck Michelle!

Order Up: Wedding Day Treats!

The order:

3 Dozen mini Reese's Love
2 Dozen mini Red Velvet
2 Dozen mini Caramel Apple Pie

Last week we received an email from Gail, asking if she could place an order for Saturday - and of course, the answer was yes. She is a prior client who ordered cupcakes for her daughter's bridal shower - and we love repeat customers! And know what else is awesome about Gail - the only requirement she had was that we made sure there were 3 dozen Reese's Love - the other flavors she told me to pick from any orders I have that weekend! Whew, she makes life easy :)

So into the kitchen I go. First baked, the Reese's Love - which was nice to be able to make a batch and use them for all the orders of the weekend! Second baked were the Red Velvets...everytime I make the red velvets I think I put too much chocolate in them and they don't look "red" enough...then I have to remind myself that true red velvet is a chocolate based cake....and those creepy red ones you see at the stores are WAY too fake ;)

The last batch that we baked were the Caramel Apple Pie. Yup, that's a new flavor!! I had been experimenting with the recipe for a few weeks (don't worry, blog to follow) and why not let Gail and her group get the first "official" batch?!

Once the Reese's cooled, they were frosted and sprinkled with fall colored sprinkles!

Caramel apple cupcakes cored and filled!

Frosted with Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Frosting and topped with excess caramel...

Red Velvets boxed up and ready to go!

Funny story about this delivery - as I was driving down, I realized that I wasn't sure what the occassion was for - Gail didn't need any custom decorations, just the cupcakes as they were. Well when I arrived and was walking to the door, I heard "Oh it's the cupcake lady" and her daughter was there with her veil on, hair and makeup done! It was her wedding day!

How adorable for her mom to order cupcakes to enjoy while getting ready for her big day!

Thank you for your order Gail - I hope the day was amazing and Congratulations to the new Mister and Misses!

Order Up: Happy Birthday Geeds!!!

The order:

2 dozen mini Take Pride

2 dozen mini Red Velvet

A few weeks ago, my favorite cupcake gremlin emailed me that she was going to have a suprise get together for Gida's birthday and wanted to order cupcakes. How could we say no?!?

After the tasting party, Ang had trouble figuring out waht kind to order and went back to her tried and true Take Pride with a side of Red Velvet...but since she was throwing her off with a Halloween party, we came up with some ideas for decorating!

Into the oven go the colorful little ones!

5 little pumpkins sitting in a box...ok well there are more than 5, but I'm sure once the box was opened, they all rolled out of sight!

The plan was originally to make scary faces (dracula, mummies, etc) but since these guys were so little the faces weren't working just right. Next best solution? Color the icing orange and stick some skulls and "pick your poison" stickers on them ;)

We boxed up these little monsters and took them to Ang's for the party.

Happy Birthday Geeds - hope you enjoyed every bite!

Order Up: Happy 2nd Birthday Addison!

The order:

3 Dozen Red Velvet
2 Dozen Vanilla Chocolate Chip
1 Jumbo Cupcake


A few weeks ago, Jamie emailed me to place an order for her daughter's 2nd birthday party. Through emails, I got all of the details down - where the party was going to be (at a local pumpkin patch), that the theme was pumpkins and Addison loves Dora the Explorer. Sounds like the perfect match for Klicious!


After she picked her order, It was time to figure out how to incorporate Dora and pumpkins together...no problem - the "kid" cupcakes would get the Dora cupcake picks and the Red Velvet would be decorated to look like pumpkins. I was able to do some google images and come up with a few ideas in my head.


The jumbo cupcake, I wanted to make sure that this was something special for the birthday girl that incorporated both themes. I am in love with the glitter letters that I found at ACMoore and I decided to make cupcake picks with her name on them :




So girly - I love the colors! When it came to decorating, I wanted to use the new piping tip I got to see if I could make the cupcake look like giant roses. I didn't color the frosting because I didn't want too much going on.

I also told Jamie that I would pick up a #2 candle and while I was there, found a little Dora fall set! It had a little pumpkin, and 2 pie pieces - it was so cute that I had to pick it up to complete the look of the cupcake!
How adorable is that? And it completely ties it together!! I love the way this turned out!

Before I get into the pumpkins, I have to say that poor Jamie had to change her ENTIRE plan for the party from the local pumpkin patch to a game center for the kids because of the snow storm! Really? Snow in October. Mother Nature really is on a tear this year.

With all of the changes, Jamie did decide to keep the pumpkin theme which was so exciting and I loved making them! I love googling different images and then being able to replicate them! What do you think?

These are Red Velvets and you can't even tell!

Pretty boxes of cupcakes!

Next up were the kid's cupcakes. Earlier in the week, I found Dora stickers and made cupcake picks. Then it was time to bake the chocolate chip cupcakes and get them ready for frosting and decorating. I happened to pick up yellow and orange sprinkles which matched really cute with the cupcakes and tied it all together nicely!

What do you think?

Dora really is on the move!

Happy 2nd Birthday Addison - hope you had a fun birthday party and got lots of good presents!
