Triple Berry Cupcakes

I've added a new flavor recently to my repertoire - triple berry!

I know I always say this, but this may truly be my favorite flavor. ;) I use real fruit in the batter and it bakes into this gorgeous purply color. My camera doesn't do the color justice.
I made a batch of triple berry cupcakes for a church event last night. I frosted them with a raspberry buttercream icing and added a fresh berry on top. I got TONS of compliments, including one woman who repeatedly told me they were, "The best cupcakes I've ever eaten in my LIFE!" It made my night! ;) Thank you!
I think this flavor is great anytime, but especially yummy for those summertime events coming up!

Spring Cupcake Collage

I made this cupcake collage for my spring piano recital. It was a huge hit! There were five different flavors: golden orange, raspberry, chocolate, lemon, and cherry chip. I used a buttercream frosting for all of them. Everyone LOVED them!

Girly Girl Cupcakes

A sweet aunt ordered a dozen cupcakes for her young niece - just because. :)

The niece loves chocolate and pink and purple.

These are chocolate fudge cupcakes with a chocolate ganuache filling. The pink frosting is a strawberry buttercream. The purple frosting is a vanilla butter frosting.
I decided to put bows, flowers, and hearts on the cupcakes to make them extra cute. These decorations are made from marshmallow fondant. The little pearls are also edible.

Hope you LOVE the cupcakes, Alyssa!

Wedding Reception Cupcakes

I didn't get a great picture of these, but Tyler and Taylor (see wedding cake above) served 300 cupcakes at their wedding reception. There were three flavors: vanilla cupcakes with a cherry baked into the middle, frosted with almond buttercream frosting / chocolate fudge cupcakes with a creamy chocolate filling and frosted with creamy chocolate frosting / spice cupcakes with an orange buttercream filling and a frosted with orange buttercream. Each cupcake was frosted with a rosette on top:
The pretty display at the wedding reception:
Yummy!

Autumn Piano Recital Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes for my recent autumn piano recital. I thought they turned out very pretty, and sooooo yummy!
There were five different cake flavors: chocolate fudge, vanilla, strawberry, spice, and cherry. The frosting flavors were vanilla, almond, vanilla-orange, chocolate-orange, and chocolate. My personal favorite combination? Chocolate fudge cupcake with vanilla-orange frosting, or vanilla cupcake with chocolate-orange frosting. My husband's favorite: spice cupcake with almond frosting. Delicious!

Under the Sea!

Last week, a lady in my neighborhood asked me to decorate the cupcakes for her son's 10th birthday party. When asked for a theme, she told me that her son was getting his scuba diving license for his birthday - something he was thrilled about! I thought and thought about how to fit a scuba diving theme on a small cupcake, but couldn't figure it out. So I made my first cupcake cake.  The cupcakes were cherry chip and lemon with vanilla buttercream frosting.

'Lil Cupcake

This cake was made for a first birthday.  The birthday party theme was cupcakes, which I thought was so darling!  The cake was a funfetti cake with vanilla frosting and marshmallow fondant.  I love the little fondant cupcakes on the middle layer.  The jumbo cupcake on the top was meant to be the 'smash' cake for the birthday baby!
