Drink Cupcakes!

A friend of mine, Denys, turned 30 this past week and she had a luau! I had so much fun making these cupcakes for her!

The first is the Pina Colada Cucpakes.

 It is a pineapple rum cupcake with coconut frosting.

The second cupcakes were Shirley Temple!

They were vanilla cupcakes with orange frosting and a cherry on top!

Happy Birthday Denys!

Hip to be SQUARE!

I am in love.

I have been dreaming of square cupcakes for months now... and now my dreams have come true!

I was so anxious to use my new cupcake tin that I made these cupcakes for no reason at all!

OK- well I guess I really make them because I also wanted to show off my new cupcake stand :)

Square cupcakes tend to be slightly larger then regular cupcakes but can be used in many different ways!

I can't wait to use them for pull apart cakes, to create letters or numbers etc.

The possibilities are endless!

Paper Cake Treat Boxes

I like things besides cupcakes. ((gasp!)) I know it's hard to belive but I really do! I LOVE crafts! Fortunatly, (or unfortunatly?) in this case they both have to do with cake!

I found this at So You Really Think You're Crafty and thought it was a great idea for a birthday party, baby shower or pretty much any event where you have party favors! I think it is a spectacular visual and can be made with different colors and docrations... and also filled with all kinds of treats!

I can't wait to find a reason to make one!

Cupcakes in a jar!

The month of June is a very busy month for birthdays in my family so I decided to send a little party to them since I couldn't be there to celebrate.

I made Andes Mint Cupcakes and layered them in 4 mason jars, sprinkled the mints on top and sent them across the country! And boy did they look good!

I also know how soon my brothers will want to eat them when they see them... so for easy access I attached a spoon to the jar so they could dig in!

I can't wait to hear how it went!

Happy Birthday Dad, Keith and Jack!

**NEW** Lemon Meringue TALL Cupcakes!

I am so excited to introduce my new cupcake size...TALL cupcakes!

And also out new summer flavor:

Lemon Meringue!!

When people ask me what my favorite flavor is... I truly have a hard time picking. It usually depends on my mood, the time of day, how hungry I am etc.

But not anymore!

This is officially my favorite cupcake! Which is surprising because of my unconditional love for chocolate!

After slaving away with these wonderful creations I took them to my trusty test group (fellow employees) to let them have a taste!

There was one critic who I was DYING to hear his opinion of these specific cupcakes... we will just call him the 'lemon hater'! It is well known around the office for his despise of everything lemon! After TWO cupcakes... he finally gave me his critique of the cupcake!

((drum roll please!!!)))

And I quote: "I don't like lemon, but these cupcakes are great!!"

Side note: He went on to have TWO MORE cupcakes later that same day :)

I was so pleased!

The Lemon Meringue cupcake is described as follows:

Moist lemon cupcake with refreshing lemon curd filling and soft meringue frosting!
