Order Up: Congratulations Graduates!

The order:

5 dozen vanilla with vanilla buttercream 

4 dozen chocolate with chocolate buttercream

A few weeks ago, Isis contacted me and wanted to know if I'd be interested in making cupcakes for the NY school district.  Ummm of course! She let me know that her new school was having a graduation celebration and they wanted to give each graduate a cupcake! How adorable! 

Since it was NY, they needed to be made and packaged up the day before so Isis could come down and pick them up - no problem for us! 

Into the kitchen we went! I wish I could say this was an easy order...but the first batch of chocolate I forgot the baking soda and they turned out like brownies...so onto another batch.  In the meantime, the icing was made and the rest of the cupcakes baked. 

When that was done it was time to place each cupcake in its own cup for safe wrapping! 

From there, each was frosted and topped with silver sprinkles. 

 Once that was done, it was time to bag, ribbon and box them up for the trip to NY! 

Congratulations and we hope you enjoyed kiddos! 

Order Up: Lisa's Baby Shower Favors!

The Order:

Fluffy Elvis

Reese's Love

Red Velvet

Side Note: This order was back in April.  Yes I am slacking, but life changes took over for a while, but now we're back on track and I promise to catch up on the blogs I owe from the last few months! I'm making it a daily goal for this week! (And as I type this, baby Jolene made her arrival into the world, about 3 weeks ago and is such a cute little munchkin!!!)

Anywho, back to the good stuff!  Karen, Lisa's sister contacted me when she was planning the baby shower and asked me if I could make cupcakes to be used at the flavors, and I was so excited to make them!  Since Lisa and Matt decided to keep Baby P's gender a secret, the theme of the shower was yellow and green - so cute!  The flavors were decided and then the decorations were going to be candy teddy bears with matching pearls the same color. The cream colored boxes were bought, put together and yellow and green polka dot ribbons were selected to accent the boxes!

The cupcakes were baked fresh the morning of the shower!  Once they were completed, we frosted all of the cupcakes and individually boxed them up - after they had the adorable bears and sprinkles added.  Once I got to the baby shower, the ribbons were added and they were scattered on the tables! 

It was such a nice surprise and so good to see Lisa being showered for the little one!
