Pretty as a Princess

Sleeping Beauty

 My 4 year old daughter is obsessed with Sleeping Beauty.  Funny thing is, she had never seen the actual film before- until Thursday night.  We finally had the opportunity to watch it with another Aroura fan.  In honor of the special occasion we prepared Sleeping Beauty Pudding cups (Strawberries-N-Cream pudding with a Cool Whip topping), and Sleeping Beauty Cupcakes (strawberry cake with vanilla frosting, topped with a small strawberry).  The cupcakes were just little bite-size treats. 

I actually loved the movie!  Meriweather was by far my favorite character.  She was just too adorable.  And I must say, I'm a bit frustrated with her and Flor (I think it was Flora?).  If they would have acted just a bit more mature Aurora would have been a-okay!

Be My Valentine!

Maiya Dea

I had the honor of making blessing cupcakes for a dear friend's baby girl, Maiya Dea.  She's definitely a "pretty in pink" type of girl, so fitting is the perfectly pink almond frosting atop a dark chocolate cupcake.

Baby in Pink

I had the opportunity to throw my dear friend a surprise Diaper Party for her third baby, a girl.  My girlfriend missed the chance to try my Cherry Almond Vanilla cupcakes a while back and I thought she'd really enjoy them, so I opted for that specialty again.

They were a big hit.  I mixed the frosting up a bit this time, and it turned out to be just as tasty as the previous batch, and just a tad different with a hint of maraschino cherry.  Congratulations!  I can't wait to meet that baby girl!

Happy Birthday, Brittany!

Happy 28th Birthday to my dear friend, Brittany!

My days just wouldn't be the same without you.

That's Amore!

These were custom baked and decorated for a bridal shower.  One of the wedding color is purple. 
And that's amore!

A Very Berry Birthday

This morning we had my daughter's "friend" birthday party. She opted for the Strawberry Shortcake theme again and I was pleased to find cupcake toppers that fit the bill!

These cupcakes were made from scratch and are vanilla very berry.  Inside you'll bite into a sweet mix of strawberries, rasberries and bluberries.  After baking a homemade jelly type sauce is piped into the middle and then covered with creamy butter frosting.

Happy Birthday, Baby Girl!

Happy 4th Birthday!

My sister made the cutest Strawberry Shortcake birthday cake for her daughter's birthday. As soon as my little girl saw it she fell in love and wanted one just like it for her own 4th birthday.

I varied from my sister's just a bit, but kept the same gist.  My daughter absolutely loved it.  I can't believe she's already FOUR!

Cherry Almond Vanilla Cupcakes

I have been dying to try these out ever since I saw a picture of them. They don't disappoint. A Cherry Almond Vanilla cupcake from scratch, covered with a Chery Almond Buttercream frosting, and topped with a Maraschino cherry. Delish.

P.S.  How will I ever lose this baby-weight with this addiction I have to making foods that look fun?

Candy Land

Custom baked and decorated for a Candy Land theme cheer/tumbling competition.  Aren't the wrappers cute?

If You Wanna Be My Lover

A sweet, bite-size, treat for Valentine's Day. 

Jadie Girl

I got to make these cute little "blessing cupcakes" for my niece, Jadie.  Her blessing dress had itty bitty purple flowers on it so I tried to add one to match.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Camri!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Iva!

Dora the Explorer

I made these for my daughter's 3rd birthday party.  I've decided that I thoroughly enjoy making cupcakes way more than making cakes.  They're so much more fun, and always turn out cuter!

It's a Girl!

M-I-See K-E-Why M-O-U-S-E

I love you, Ken.
