Priscilla

This is a tad bit late for me to post buuuut this past Friday I had an order from a girl at school named Priscilla. She'd seen my cupcakes and cakes over Facebook and wanted to order cupcakes in honor of her parents' anniversary.

Don't forget: I'll be making cupcakes for Northwood High School's "Dance Dance Evolution" Dance Show this Thursday and Friday! Dances in the show will feature time periods such as the 80s, scientific development, neanderthals, and so much more! I really shouldn't... buuuuut here's a preview of some of the fondant decorations you can find if you come to the show ;)

In case you needed more convincing, a very cool promo video was also made! Check it out here.

Amy, Stephanie, and Sami

This week I had three orders:
1. Mini Tiffany & Co. colored cakes for Amy's 17th birthday
2. Cupcakes with cat decorations for Stephanie's 17th birthday
3. Cupcakes with car decorations for Sami's 17th birthday

Side note: I also made a Facebook to display my cakes and cupcakes! If you wish to, "like" my page ! ;)

Amy's mini cakes.

Stephanie's cupcakes.

Sami's fondant car decoration for his cupcakes.

Another thing that happened this week was my final in ROP! Our task was to create a plated dessert with our assigned groups to showcase to our friends and family in a restaurant-like environment.

Coming soon: Cupcakes for Northwood High School's "Dance Dance Evolution" Dance Show, so stay tuned and come to support the dance program!! :)

Mother's Day Weekend

Wow! Word travels fast and in this case, I'm loving it! It's been such a busy weekend! Since last week, I've been passing out flyers at my school about my cupcakes/cakes and with this weekend being mother's day, people decided to order cupcakes from me...22 to be exact! :D I'm still so shocked! I went from basically never getting any orders in one week to 22 orders?! WHAT?! Well I guess I never really advertised that I sell baked goods, but still! I'm beyond amazed! Technically though, four of the orders were for different reasons ;). One was to help someone ask a girl to prom, one was for one of my teacher's daughters who were sick and two were from people who just wanted cupcakes for themselves. However, the rest were for mother's day and all I can ask is that everyone's mother's liked what they got! :)



Most of the things I made this week...

Vanilla and red velvet cupcakes with a Belle and Barney fondant topper for my teacher, Mr. Gates daughters.

Carrot and red velvet mother's day cupcakes for the Orosco family.

Chocolate with vanilla buttercream birthday cake for Garret.

Mrs. Glowacki's Baby Shower/Annalisa

This Thursday has probably been one of the busiest baking days I have had in awhile...BUT I LOVE IT! 

Side note: if there's something that I learned this week (that I continuously forget), it's that I need to take more pictures...So I apologize for the lack of pictures! 

Baking project #1: Mrs. Glowacki's Baby Shower

So about a month ago, I was asked by Mrs. Crowley (my TA teacher) if I would be willing to bake cupcakes for a baby shower for a teacher at my school named Mrs. Glowacki. How could I say no? I will admit though, I was a bit terrified! When I asked her about decorations, she told me that I would have creative freedom to figure it out. She did, however tell me that the baby would be a girl named Ella, and that her room would be periwinkle and have sheeps. I had never been to a baby shower, so I was basically clueless. But after searching Google and Yahoo, I came to the conclusion to make a baby, pacifiers, rattles, crowns, sheeps, ABC blocks, buttons, onesies, and strollers/carriages.

Most of the decorations

My first attempt at making a baby in fondant...I didn't like how it turned out squared and chubby so I didn't end up using this. 

My second attempt at making a baby! It still turned out a bit chubby but the square-ness was definitely gone! :)
*Thank you to Chef Heather (ROP teacher) for suggesting the idea to plastic wrap and cup and to let the tummy and head rest/dry on them! 

The cupcakes! The flavors made were peanut butter chocolate chip, red velvet, chocolate, and carrot.

Baking Project #2: Annalisa's Birthday

Remember how I said earlier in this post that I really need to take more pictures...? This is where it really becomes problematic... So due to the lack of pictures I will just say that I made my friend, Annalisa chai flavored cupcakes! If there's one thing to know, it's that this girl LOVES her chai tea latte ( with no water, of course ;) )! And like most of the cupcakes I make, they were topped with fondant toppers! There weren't too many and I only have three pictures of some of the toppers I used. Again, I apologize! I did however try to take pictures of when my friends and I took her out to eat! I'm slowly making progress! 

Some of the toppers I used. I actually only used the Ariel and horse topper. My attempt at free handing a Colorado Ram (the school she will be attending next year) just didn't cut it for me..
 

Wooo birthday girl!!

She's finally 18!
