SPRING SPRING SPRING

Spring is here!! ...which for me means it's...SPRING BREAK! Don't worry, I'm not the type that goes out causing mishap around town! In fact, I actually have a midterm in one of my classes after my break is over :( . Anyways, let's keep this post in a happier tune...


This week I...

-Made "Welcome Home" cupcakes! 
A guy I knew from high school wanted to get his mommy something special because she was coming back home after a trip. 


-Made cupcakes for a "Cake Walk!"
A club from my old high school called, "She's the First" invited me to make cupcakes for their "Cake Walk."She's the First is a non-profit organization that helps raise awareness for girls' education in third world countries. For more information on their club, visit their Facebook page and "like" them! :) 
I was asked to color the frostings of the cupcakes to resemble the club's colors (Purple and Teal). 

It was originally planned that I would give the club, regular/frosted cupcakes but, at the last minute I decided to also give them some fondant flowers and letters ("S","T" & "F") in case they wanted to give the cupcakes a bit more flair. Also, thank you to Hannah Pacun for this picture!!

While I was making the cupcakes for them, I had found out that they were giving the cupcakes away so I thought it'd be nice to give the members of the club some mini cupcakes for all their hard work! :) *Thank you again to Hannah Pacun for this picture as well! 


& that's it for now! Upcoming on Monday, March 25th will be, I guess you could say my second year anniversary since working with fondant? For those who are curious, you can see how my first experience with fondant, here
**Warning: my first time working with fondant wasn't my finest hour... and I can only hope that I have improved with my fondant work since then!!

Sneak Peek of An Upcoming Project!!

I'm going to try to contain my excitement buuuuut, about a week and a half ago I was contacted about doing a project. I won't say too much about it [yet], but let's just say that I'm super excited about it and it's secretly been a dream of mine to be chosen for it! I'm not exactly sure when this project will be finished or come out but I will definitely keep you all posted! :)


Here's what I made for the project...
An ombre cake! I maaay have gone a bit overboard with the flowers...oops.

The inside of the ombre cake! For those of you who are curious, the cake is vanilla flavored with cream cheese frosting (probably my favorite go-to frosting to go with just about any cake flavor!).
 I also made some red velvet cupcakes which can be seen in the background of the pictures :)


* I should add that these pictures were not taken by me. They were taken by a student named Nihal Khan! If you see this Nihal, thank you so much again!
