Mother's Day Round 2!

As many of you know, this past Sunday was Mother's Day. Last year's Mother's Day orders were INSANE! Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but yet very very exhausting. Any who, despite me not allowing orders of one cupcake this year, I still somehow managed to get a few orders (thank you to everyone who ordered!!)! So I'll stop blabbing and just show you guys the pictures of the boxes I made....

Thank you so much Eugene for ordering this! These flowers were so fun to make!

Thank you Chloe for ordering these for your mom! :)

Thank you Nicole for ordering this for your mom!

I can't officially say that I'm selling cake pops yet, but I thought I'd make a few for Mother's Day in case anyone wanted to give a little something extra to their mom. (if you were curious from left to right were: chocolate, vanilla, red velvet and carrot)

Coming soon...

*ignore the bottom left dates..the show has been moved to May 30 and 31st due to Star Testing.

I am so happy to announce that I will be baking for Northwood High School's Dance Show yet again! Last year, I was both a dancer in the show, and helped make cupcakes for the bake sale. It was a lot of work but so fun! I am so honored that my teacher asked me to do this again! For more information on the show, you can go here. This is a show you won't want to miss! All of the dancers involved have worked so hard so I hope you guys can come and help support the dance program.
*Part of the proceeds from the cupcake sales will go towards the dance program as well.

Happy Earth Day!

So as you can probably see with my past posts.. I always like trying to incorporate national days/holidays into cupcakes! With today being Earth Day, I couldn't help but think of, "nature." Thinking of that I initially thought of flowers! So in honor to today, I made a bouquet of various flowers I have made out of either fondant or royal icing! 

Wouldn't this also be perfect for Mother's Day...? ;)

I've also failed to update you all on other baking things that I've done since my last post ("Kardashians Take Over Chelsea Lately")... Since that post, I actually went back to Chelsea Lately for the second time this month. My friend and her dorm mates wanted to see Ryan Lochte so I came along with them since my friend didn't know my sister too well. I didn't care for Ryan Lochte too much so I actually didn't even tell my sister and friend that I would officially be coming until the day of. However, after going to the taping, I will admit that he is really really pretty! Hahaha. Any who, I am not sure when that episode should air, given that there were two other guests that were taped that day as well. Okay, I'll stop babbling, and just show you guys what I brought to the taping! Note: the Chelsea crew didn't know that I was bringing anything because I never told my sister anything hahaha (this was also a big factor of why I would or wouldn't come to the taping)

Green Tea cake pops! (turns out that the Chelsea crew REALLY loved the cake pops I brought last time!)

I noticed that whenever I come, a lot of people always want to eat one of my cupcakes but say they'll feel guilty so this time I brought MINI cupcakes! In this box are..
1) Green tea w/ white chocolate green tea buttercream
2) Chocolate w/ chocolate ganache
3) Chocolate w/ chocolate cream cheese buttercream

A few days after I did this...

One of my aunts asked me if I could make a Rugby themed cake for a co-worker of hers. I absolutely knew nothing about the sport but with some research I can only hope that I didn't make any dramatic errors!!! The only direction she told me was to,"make a huntington beach rugby cake like how [I] did for the lakers cake." WIth not too many directions this is what I created! 

That night, I remembered watching a video on YouTube in the past on how to make fondant flowers.. I re-watched it and well... let's just say I got inspired and did....

This is actually just some of the flowers I made.. there's actually quite a few more that I did (some are actually in the bouquet I made for today). The others that aren't pictured are generally the same colors as shown above but just slightly smaller. But I think I might slightly be addicted to making flowers!!! Help?!
