Have a SWEET Halloween


Halloween is one of my Favorite Holidays. Ever Since I can remember I always had a hand in making my costumes along with my mom and grandmom. This year my costume was a toast to my dear grandmother who passed earlier this year. She taught me how to bake and sew. She would have really gotten a kick out of this one!


After searching online for a fun costume I decided to take matters into my own hands and create a Cupcake Costume all my own. After hours of sewing, gluing and stuffing with burns all over my fingers, the creation was a masterpiece, Well Kinda! haha
Unfortunately, not much movement was made once inside, and it's not the best for crowded places but it was still fun!
I painted my face like a fairy because I just love Face-paint and it makes me feel like a kid again!



Advertisement on the back. One day when I have my own shop, I will make my employees wear this and hand out cupcakes on the street! haha


Happy Halloween!!

Princess Birthday


After 4 Phillies Phanatic Cakes this week it was refreshing to do some cute Princess Cupcakes. These Cupcakes Spell out "Happy Birthday Avery" They are adorned with Princess crowns, wands, butterflies, and flowers with extra sparkling dragess and edible glitter.



A Special Egg-less Jumbo Cupcake for Avery.


Kids Cakes (especially girly ones) are my favorite to do. The look on the child's face is Price-less!
The first thing they do is try to touch it,haha. It's so rewarding to share in their special days and help make wonderful memories for them.

Happy Birthday Avery!!! I hope you had a Wonderful Birthday!

Mr and Mrs. Panek


My first wedding was done as a gift for two great friends of Randy and I. The design was months in the making and it ended up exceeding both mine and Erin's expectations. The cupcake tree was made up of 100 cupcakes in assorted flavors including: Strawberry Cheesecake, Orange Creamsicle, Oreo Cookies and Cream, and Pumpkin Cream Cheese. The flowers on top of the cupcakes and cutting cake were made of fondant and purely edible. The decorative flowers are all fresh flowers used to complete the design. 


6" top Cutting Cake for the Couple to taste together. (No smashing here! It was too pretty to get messy)



To the new Mr. and Mrs. Panek, may your beers be hoppy and your cupcakes always sweet. Here's to a wonderful new life together, we love you both!

More pictures coming soon!

Rowing on Empty!

Well, Rowing on Empty Full, made an impressive finish in 2nd place with a 0.02 finish that separated us from first place. After a long, hard struggle, we pulled through and made it to the end "out of nowhere" as the commentator would say. It was the first year we participated in this event and it was a tremendous showing. We hope to be able to be a top contender next year but as of now, it was the cupcakes that got us through the last leg of the race! (Or that's just what I tell myself!)




It was a great day for racing, and an even better day for Cupcakes!



Thanks for all my support!
