June 8 - June 13

Normally I like to make a weekly post (depending on if I even have orders haha) but nevertheless, I forgot to add on two orders I got when I posted the post about Dance Dance Evolution!! Soo to catch you all up on what I've been up to.... ;)


Order #1 (June 8): Pig cupcakes for Jacqueline's mom.

Flavor: Vanilla with coconut custard filling
*the fondant is almond flavored

Order #2 (June 9): Princess cupcakes for Tori (to give to Mr. Case's daughter)

Flavor: Red velvet with cream cheese buttercream

Order #3 (June 11): A Northwood Timberwolf cake for the Distinguished Timberwolves Award Ceremony (to give to Mr. Banks)

Flavor: Vanilla with cream cheese buttercream

*This is the first cake I've made in awhile where I didn't cover it with fondant! Just a random fun fact! Haha

Last but not least...

Order #4 (June 13): Graduation cupcakes for Kennedy High's graduation

Flavor: Red velvet with cream cheese buttercream

*Another fun fact: this order was both ordered and finished on the same day! I surprisingly was able to successfully finish this order in about 3-5 hours! I'm still shocked. 

For future orders: I would not recommend anyone to order last minute! I cannot guarantee that I will be able to always finish the order you wish to have. Nevertheless, it never hurts to ask for your desired baked good! Ideally, 4 days or more is a good amount to place an order (the more in advance the better). :)

Dance Dance Evolution

This post is late, but remember how I kept trying to promote Northwood High School's, "Dance Dance Evolution" dance show? Well, you guys only got to see a sneak peak at what I was actually doing...so here are the pictures of all the cupcakes I did (for Friday night)! :)
*note: I made the same decorations for both the Thursday and Friday show, except I made more undecorated ones for Friday due to a bigger audience.

**I'd like to give a big thank you to Quincie Li who took these wonderful pictures!! It's pretty evident that I am a terrible photographer, so I'm glad that she was willing to take these pictures for me! :)

Soo many cupcakes!

My version of a "timeline" in cupcakes. It starts from the bottom left and zig-zigs to the right. The timeline starts all the way from Pangea up until 3012 (future).

"Pangea"

"Neanderthals" 

"The Golden Age of Greece"

"The Great Plague"

"Arabian Nights"

"Renaissance Spirit"

"Enlightenment"

"The Spanish Empire"

"Scientific Development"

"Moving West"

"Romantic Times"

"La Belle Epoque"

"Progressive Connections"

"Women's Rights"

"The Great Depression"

"World War III"

"Grease is the Word"

"Bob Fosse Leaves His Mark"

"80s Dance Up a Sweat" 

"Stomp the Yard"

"Natural Disaster"

"2012"

"Bare Bones"

3012

On another note, many of you probably didn't know this about me, but not only did I help raise money by selling these cupcakes, but I actually was in the show too! I've actually been involved with Northwood High School's (my high school) dance program for 4 years. So this was unfortunately, my last dance show ever! :( Dance will definitely be a class that I will miss taking in high school. I hope that I can continue to support NHS dance at their future shows!

I'll miss you guys! :')

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...
