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!

Easter Egg Cookies

I really love making sugar cookies. So I'm always excited to get a cookie order! This past week got an order to make some Easter egg sugar cookies. I had a lot of fun making the colorful patterns on each cookie.

Didn't they turn out pretty?

And, seriously, I love this recipe. These cookies are really, really yummy.

Sugar cookies are $12/dozen. Order some for your special occasion! They can even be personalized with names or messages.

Adoption Cake

Our family is very passionate about adoption. In fact, we are working on adopting a baby ourselves! (Take a minute to click on our adoption button on the right!!)

So, when I was asked to make a cake for the FSA (Families Supporting Adoption) Area Conference, I was really excited to do it. The theme for the conference was Hearts Knit Together. I used the theme and this flier to design the cake:

Pictures of the cake:

An up-close pic of the 'knitted' details.

The top layer of this cake was raspberry flavored, with a raspberry buttercream filling and icing. The middle layer was a white cake filled with the raspberry buttercream and frosted with a vanilla buttercream. The bottom layer was a chocolate fudge cake with a chocolate ganuache filling and a vanilla buttercream icing. All the levels were covered with my homemade marshmallow fondant, and all the decorations were also made from fondant.

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!

Filled Strawberry Cupcakes

I am so obsessed right now with filled cupcakes.

Mmmmmm... cupcakes were already delicious, but then add some gooey yumminess in the middle and they are heavenly!

My new favorite cupcakes are these filled strawberry cupcakes. Aren't they pretty?

Moist strawberry cake, topped with my buttercream icing and filled with gooey strawberry filling made from fresh berries.

These would make the perfect dessert for a special summer occasion!

Orange Dream

This cake was also made for the bake sale to raise money for the young boy with cancer. I must say, this is one of my new favorite flavor combinations; it was delicious! The cake was a 6-inch, two layer vanilla cake, covered in my new frosting flavor - orange buttercream. It has a light orange flavor that reminds me somewhat of an orange dreamsicle. Very light, very summery, very yummy! The white icing is also the orange buttercream; it comes out white and can be died any color. I colored this a light orange to fit the flavor.

Birdy Cake

This sweet cake was made for a very sweet little birthday girl. I love the theme of birds, flowers, and butterflies! I also love the colors of this cake and think it turned out very sweet.

The cake was vanilla flavored with vanilla butter cream frosting and covered and decorated with marshmallow fondant. The cake was a 4-inch tall, two-layer 6-inch round on top of a 4-inch tall, two-layer 8-inch round.

And aren't those flowers fun?!

I heard the birthday girl loved the cake! Here are a few pictures her mom took of her and the cake.

Darling!!

Bright 16th Birthday

I made this cake for a 16th birthday party! It is a half-sheet sized cake. The birthday girl is a 100% vanilla girl, so the cake is a vanilla cake topped vanilla buttercream frosting. The order was to include bright colors and flowers, and make it fun. I really like how the design turned out in the end!

50th Birthday Cake

I made this cake for a 50th birthday party for one of my friend's moms. The birthday lady loves the color blue, and her birthday is in the springtime, and so this is what I decided to do. The cake is a german chocolate flavor covered in creamy chocolate frosting (a family member is allergic to coconut!) and then covered in marshmallow fondant. Yum!

I also added a few chocolate cupcakes on the side.

Chocolate-y Spring Cupcakes

These fudge chocolate cupcakes covered with chocolate frosting and topped with little daisies just make me smile. :)

Here are some more spring cupcakes.

Can you tell I love spring? (And chocolate?) :)

Easter Egg Cake

This cake was made for a family Easter dinner. The bottom round cake was chocolate. The egg shaped cake was vanilla. It was all decorated with vanilla frosting (no fondant).

Flower Garden Cupcakes

These fun flower cupcakes would be great for a spring or summer gathering!

Easter cupcakes

I made these spring/Easter cupcakes for my husband's primary sunday school class. The kids were very excited to eat their special cupcakes!
