Grape Crush Cupcakes

March 26th is National Epilepsy Awareness Day so my office had a bake sale to raise money for the National Epilepsy Foundation. The color was purple so I baked two dozen grape crush cupcakes with buttercream frosting and lavender sugar pearls.

Pale Pink Daisies

I love doing little girl birthday cakes! This 9" strawberry cake was so fun to make with pale pink gerbera daisies, little violets and a couple of conspicuous ladybugs.

Cake Pops

These are my first attempt at cake pops. I have seen them all over the web forever and am just now trying them! A bride requested samples of white/cream cheese pops and chocolate pops for a wedding in July. I bet they will be a hit with the kiddos and adults alike!

Chocolate Swirl Cupcakes

For these cupcakes I wanted to pair looks with great chocolate taste. So I started with devil's food cupcakes and then added vanilla and chocolate swirled buttercream frosting. This was topped with chocolate jimmies, two-tone fondant flowers and milk chocolate squares. Yum!

Lemon & Champagne

This week I made two flavors of cupcakes for a tasting with a bride and groom. The bride had enjoyed a champagne cake at a friend's wedding and wanted to try my version so I paired pink champagne cake with a french vanilla filling (below). The couple also wanted to try something fruity so I made a lemon with lemon filling cake(above). I had already made the pair a chocolate with buttercream sample that was a hit but they wanted to offer their guests 3 different flavor combinations.
