It's May!!

Ahhh, 3 more weeks until I'm out of school!! Any who, this week has been an incredibly busy week for me (not that I'm complaining!)! Before I talk about what I did this week, I should probably talk about what I did last week since I didn't have time to make a post... 

Soo last week...

Thursday (April 25th)

One of my mom's friend and former co-worker had e-mailed her asking if I could make cupcakes for their friend, Quyen. All she said was that she wanted 18 vanilla and 18 red velvet cupcakes. I asked my mom if she wanted me to decorate the cupcakes or make them look a little nicer than just normal undecorated cupcakes and all my mom told me to do was to, "make them look pretty." I can only hope that I was able to make the cupcakes, "pretty!" Also, happy late birthday Quyen (or maybe I should say "Lil Quyen..?!") !

This box was my mom's personal favorite. She really liked the white royal icing flowers I did.

 

My mom had another friend that had a birthday last Thursday as well. She told me to do the same thing, which was to make the cupcakes, "pretty". I should probably note that she didn't actually tell me that I had to decorate the cupcakes, but I thought it could be nice if I did. Anyways, happy late birthday Wendy!! Hope you liked the cupcakes! 

Friday (April 26th) 

Last Friday, my mom went out with her friends to celebrate "Lil Quyen's" birthday (& yes this is the same Quyen that got the "pretty" cupcakes the day before). I guess a few weeks ago when my mom and her friends were celebrating another friend's birthday, they really liked the red velvet cake pops that I gave to them so my mom requested that I make some cake pops for "Lil Quyen."

Red velvet cake pops! 

I only made a few of these but these were vanilla cake pops. I tried to be elegant... 

Now for this week!!

Today (May 3) 

I was asked to make banana and red velvet cupcakes for Natalie who was turning 15 years old! She requested that I decorated half of the cupcakes with flowers and a "15" on one of the cupcakes. Note: I did not take a picture of the banana cupcakes, since they didn't look very special. I did however, manage to take a quick picture of the decorated red velvet cupcakes! 

Happy 15th birthday Natalie!!

Tonight, I also attended a charity fashion show. I was asked awhile back if I could help make cupcakes for the event and to donate a gift certificate to their silent auction. I actually wasn't even planning on going to the event, but last night, Northwood had their "Fine Arts Night." While at Fine Arts Night, I was approached by two girls who were involved with the fashion show. They had come up to me to tell me that they were really excited and happy that I decided to help out with the event. They then asked if I was going to watch the fashion show, but I told them that I wasn't aware of any of the details of the actual show. Basically, they told me all the details and said that if I wanted to come, that I was more than welcome to. I decided to take up the offer of going to the show. The show itself was pretty cool and I got to meet some new people! Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to take any good pictures of the cupcakes and cake pops I gave.. :|

See? Doesn't look so great, huh? It's definitely not one of the best cupcakes that I've made but I couldn't come empty handed. I also had some mini cupcakes and cake pops as well! I put the purple flowers on top of the cupcakes because the event was specifically to raise money and awareness for the American Cancer Society (their theme color is purple).

Here's kind of a picture of my cake pops, I guess? I made peanut butter banana cake pops! Also, thank you to Tim and John for being in charge of selling all the baked goods that were there!  

I'd also like to thank these Annette, Crystal, and Hannah for thinking of me to help out with the event tonight!! :)
