My Biggest Challenge Yet!

Where do I begin? I was contacted a few months ago through an awesome referral about possibly making cupcakes for a Police retirement party. Sounds great right? Well what made me a little nervous was that I was going to have to produce around 250 cupcakes in my little kitchen. All who know me know that I love a challenge so I said "of course"!

The customer requested some unique flavors so I provided her with samples of red velvet, key lime pie, pineapple, and carrot cake. Ultimately she and the man of Honor decided on Chocolate Mint, Red Velvet, Pineapple, Key Lime Pie, and Vanilla. Each cupcake was to have a different design representing the Officer that was retiring.

I absolutely loved how they turned out and so did the customers and all of their guests. This was a biggest order so far, so I am pretty excited that it was such a success. I'm not going to lie and say it was easy, but I did it!

And to Ofc. Grady who retired after 30 years as a Police Officer, congratulations to you! You served for 30 years, made it through safely, and can still go home to your family every night. That is success! Enjoy every bit of your retirement with your family and friends. Thanks for letting me be part of your day!

Sponge Bob Square Pants!

One of my favorite cakes yet! I don't know why because I am not even that big of a fan of his, but it was a fun cake to make and turned out great! This cake was made for a little girl named Cailee who was turning 4. She's a big fan of Sponge Bob so Dad requested this for her party. The cake was a hit! The flavor was chocolate and vanilla with buttercream. Yummo!

Yo Gabba Gabba for a little one named Mia

This cake was made on one of my busiest cake weekends yet. I had 3 due in one weekend- and when you have one oven and small kitchen it can get tricky! Anyways, this was a fun cake to do. When I originally spoke to the Mom of the little girl, I had no idea who Yo Gabba Gabba even was. After some research I was able to create this awesome cake for the birthday girl. The pink character is her favorite, so needless to say she needed to be on top. The bottom cake is vanilla with fresh strawberries and cream, and the top cake is chocolate filled with chocolate ganache. The cake was a huge success!

For the Sports Fan

This cake was for a special little guy named Anthony. When I spoke to Anthony about his cake he requested footballs, baseballs, and basketballs on his cake. Anthony's Mom also told me to be creative with it so this is what I came up with. Anthony was very pleased with his cake and had a great time at his birthday party.

Dr. Suess for a First Birthday

This cake was ordered for a special little guys first birthday. His Mom asked for a Dr. Suess themed cake and told me to be creative with it. I had a blast making this cake. The bottom cake was red velvet with cream cheese. The middle cake was vanilla with a fresh strawberry and cream filling. Lastly, the smash cake for the birthday boy at the top was vanilla. Overall, the cake was a hit!

30th Birthday Party for Krissi

This cake was a blast to make- I am so thrilled with the results. I actually went to this party so it was nice for once to see everyone enjoy the cake. Red velvet with cream cheese frosting was the flavor of choice. Four layers of cake inside the barrel. The wine bottles were made of chocolate and then decorated with icing. The birthday girl loved it as well- and that's what is most important.

Cheer Cupcakes

Red Velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting- yum! My younger sister coaches cheerleading at the school where she's a teacher. She requested these for the end of the season party for her cheerleaders.
