Baby Boy Derek Cash & Monkey Baby Shower Cupcakes

Liz's Baby Shower (11/18/09)

I work with Liz at the hospital and loved making cupcakes for her to celebrate baby Carter James, MVP! Everything for Carter is sports-related: his clothes, his nursery decor, his shower...let's hope he grows up to be a great athlete! These are chocolate cupcakes with fondant and I used a food coloring pen for the black lines on the basketballs.

We were loving on each other's baby bumps!

Happy mommas-to-be

Lingerie/Bra Cupcakes

These beautiful bra cupcakes were made for Casi's lingerie party going down tomorrow! The groom's name is Alex, hence the "I heart Alex" bra. I wanted to try and do panties cupcakes too but I thought using each cupcake as a boobie was so super cute that I got carried away trying to make 12 beautiful bras! If Victoria's Secret actually made bras that looked like these, I would totally buy them (except the "I heart Alex" one, of course...because I heart Justin!)

Hiatus

I just finished 3 dozen cupcakes yesterday (with the wonderful help of my sis!) for a 10-year-old's birthday party with his class. Unfortunately, I forgot to take any pictures! Each cupcake had the first letter of each student's initial (pink with a flower for the girls, blue with a star for the boys).

Since I forgot to take pictures, forgot to put my logo stickers on the boxes, feel pretty drained from cupcake creating, miss spending quality time with my husband, etc. etc. etc...I have decided to take a hiatus from cupcake orders for the month of June. I desperately need a recharge so I can actually relax on my days off from working at the hospital. Forgive me Sue and David for not being able to make your cupcakes for the first week of June. Hope you can understand :)

See you all in a month!

Mermaid Birthday Cupcakes

These cupcakes were made for a mermaid/turquoise and lavendar-themed birthday party for twin girls turning 6 years old! I was moderately frightened about doing these because it was a 3 dozen order for Zena (owner of Zena's Day Spa) and I have never made that many before. But she was super sweet and appreciative so I must have done something right! I had to shove toothpicks into the backs of the two mermaids because they were not cooperating with me and kept falling over. Other than that, there were no other major issues. I'm beat...another 3 dozen order coming up next Thursday!

Birthday Pandas

My sister just had her 19th birthday yesterday (WOOHOO!) and I offered to make her cupcakes for the momentous occasion. Without hesitation, she asked me to make panda cupcakes. Something about how her best friend thinks she looks like a panda? Or just started calling her a panda? Maybe it's the half Chinese thing we both got going on? I know it has nothing to do with size (pandas are pretty hefty-looking; my sister is not, by any means). But regardless, she got her panda cupcakes the other night when we went out to dinner. Here they are! Happy Birthday Summer!
