80th Birthday Celebration
I was asked to create a Giant Cupcake Tower for a sweet woman's 80th birthday party last week. She had told me she loved fall and fall colors along with christian elements. I did my best to create a masterpiece that represented her as best I could. I was really happy with how it turned out.
This was my biggest single order to date: 225 cupcakes with a Topper cake. Many, many hours of work but it was all worth it. Thanks to my mom and my uncle who helped make this delivery possible. (it had to travel to MD).
Here is the Cutting cake, without the "80" topper.
Boyoboy!! What a party! Everything was wonderful and your cake was the centerpiece of everything. Everyone just stared and stared and many exclaimed what a good idea it was. It was simply beautiful and it tasted just as wonderful as it looked. I wasn't very specific with you as to what I wanted, but you just seemed to read my mind and everything was just gorgeous.
We put the cake in the center of the room all by itself on a raised round table. Wow! What a picture it made! Thanks for all your efforts and the beauty you created.Happy Birthday Joann, I am so Glad you liked it.

Groom's Cake
Even after a disappointing finish in the World Series, life in Philadelphia had to go on. Only a true fan would welcome the Cap of the Fallen Phillies into his Rehearsal Dinner.
This Groom's cakes is made of Vanilla Cake, filled with Vanilla Buttercream, covered and decorated in Fondant. This was my first Baseball Cap cake and it was a lot of fun to do. I have a feeling it will not be my last!
* Cupcake Bouquet were also made for the party but my camera died before I got a shot, Hopefully they will send me some pictures.
Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Schiller!

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!!

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!
