Alice in Wonderland Birthday Tea Party

My daughter turned 5 on friday, and of course we had to have an "Alice in Wonderland" themed birthday party.
It was also very "Etsy" themed since I got a few things from there. One being her cute Alice dress! Also, the best tasting sugar cookies ever! Not only do they look amazing but they are perfectly tasting. I got her owl and puppy cookies for my birthday, and I think I will have to get some for every holiday.


We had a cute little tea party since we were just having girls to the party. I got all the plates and tea cups from the Goodwill along with all the vases I put red roses in. I got Regan a special tea cup from Anthropologie since we love tea! Don't worry, she drinks Organic kids tea with no caffeine ;)

I Also made my first fondant cake. Regan insisted on not having cupcakes, go figure. They are not special enough anymore since we make them like once a week. I still had to make some because I knew not everyone wanted strawberry cake like her.
It turned out ok, not really what I had in my head but the checkerboard look worked. I made it around midnight the night before so I really didnt want to go crazy and then mess it up. It's a little too simple looking, but none of the other fondant accessories I had planned had worked right.
Also, I used my new black foil cupcake liners, they are so fancy. And mixed with the blue gingham cupcake wrappers, really made it match with the Alice theme.

DIY Weddings

I know it's only February, but I am already getting swamped with orders for weddings. It is a great time to get married now. Almost everyone is doing a DIY wedding, and with so many options out there, it's easy to see why! It doesn't even matter if your on a budget or not- everyone wants their wedding to be uniques and as special as it can be.
With that said, I am working on a pinwheel wedding. I am so excited for it! I have made alot of pinwheels for weddings- for cupcake toppers, but finally I get to make bridesmaid pinwheel bouquets! I will definatly show photos when they are done, maybe I can get some from the actual wedding?

Here is my new favorite fancy cupcake liners for weddings, they are called "Elenor Black" so pretty!

Snow Day!

So my birthday was yesterday, and I just didn't feel like making cupcakes even though I really wanted some.
Today ended up being a total snow day, everything is closed, I mean EVERYTHING! You would think we never had snow before.
So I decided it was time to make some Valentine's cupcakes..only I had one problem. Nothing is open, I wasn't going to shovel snow anyway, but I have no ingredients ;( My husbands idea, use a can of soda.
Hmmmm What are you talking about? I forgot that he actually told me about this awhile ago, but I didn't need the info then.
So I take a box of cake mix (I had red velvet,so appropriate) and a can of soda. mix together and bake!
No eggs, no vegetable oil. Just soda! Take a sip or 2 of the soda first, then use the rest. So now its vegan!
Also, it turned out to be one of the best cupcakes ever! The batter tasted like Dr. Pepper...haha YUMMY~

Also, I have been working on some new custom wedding cupcake toppers, so I took some photos of it with the cupcakes.
Buy them in my store!

New cupcake goodies

It has been far too long since I wrote anything on here. To tell you the truth, I forgot my email and password to log into my account.
So things have been super busy here. I have been working alot on my stores.. I have a ton of new cupcake products, including alot of cupcake liners in bulk! Perfect for bakers who are tired of the boring white baking cups! Anyway, here are a few pics. My handmade butterfly cupcake toppers, perfect for weddings. Doing a DIY wedding? I would LOVE to make custom ones. I love these butterflies. I think they look so elegant. Anyway, I have nonperils too and new sprinkles, and new GINHAM cupcake liners!
I am totally in love.

Sugar cookies!

I just wanted to share some of my new sugar cookies I made to show off the cookie cutters I have for sale. Along with all the decorating stuff you need to make these! You can buy it all! And I have to say, I really didn't want to eat the cookies after decorating them, but I am sure glad I did....They were the best tasting cookies I ever had! The royal icing and all the decorations, really make the cookies that much yummier. The dress cookie cutter is part of the "princess" cookie cutter set.

New Liners

Ok, so all my late night googling has finally paid off. I found the manufacturer of these awesome liners! So I get great prices, and now I have new amazing liners for my shop!
Hooray!
Enjoy these cupcakes we made yesterday morning.

Zebra Print Cupcake Liners

These are so perfect for a bachlorette party!

YUMMMY... I just got my copy of Martha's book "CUPCAKES" as I assumed it had alot of things from her magazines in it..I guess they run out of ideas?! Anyway I made cupcakes last week and here is a pic from that.I have a new found fondness of the zebra print baking cups. They just look so cool! I also got my first neutral comment on my website after a purchase....She wrote that the leapord print cupcake liners are just "OK" and she complained about the shipping price...(I wish she would read this)
First off, I charge less then my competition...second...what do you expect out of a cupcake liner? Its paper...do you want it to do back flips? This lady is crazy and I bet she complains about alot of things in her life...so I will just ignore it ;)
Anyway I am now in the wholesaling business! So if your interested in buying fancy cupcake liners in bulk for your shop just contact me!!
Dont forget you can purchase these cupcake liners at my shop!
