Wedding Cupcakes

A few days ago a good friend called me to ask if I would make her wedding cake...and of course I said yes. She is getting married on the courthouse steps in a few days and will have her ceremony on September 7th.  THEN they are leaving for Australia to work for the next two years.  Exciting!  But back to the cake....we are working on the design because time is short.  May have to throw in some cupcakes on the side even though she didn't ask for them.

On another note...another friend is getting married next summer and I will be doing a cake and cupcakes for that event!  Weddings in the cupcake universe....gotta hurry and finish my sugar flower classes on Craftsy!

Basic Fondant Techniques - Free Craftsy Class

Craftsy is my newest obsession...so many cake decorating classes.  And I LOVE browsing through the class projects to see what everyone else has created.  I am currently finishing my 5th class....Basic Fondant Techniques.  There are several free classes on the site and once you take a class you will be hooked.  The instructors are great and the course materials and recipes are right on the lesson page to print out.  You will not be disappointed...and don't forget to explore the other classes!

Cupcake Paper Plates

Pay attention cupcake fans...I found these paper plates at Target.  I was looking for dinner-sized cupcake plates but the salad size will do just fine.  Only $2.25 for 8 and they have cupcake napkins to go with them.  Love the peace signs and hearts!

Cupcake Stand

I went to Michael's this week in search of some way to use my 40% off coupon.  I am always on the lookout for a cupcake stand...this one is nothing fancy but it can be dressed up in a thousand ways or just leave it as is! 

Happy July 4th!

Take a moment and raise a cupcake to all those who have given so much and continue to ensure our freedom...never take what we have in this country for granted!  Celebrate with a thankful heart!

HAPPY  JULY 4TH !

 

Cupcake Wine Charms and More!

Pier 1 strikes again in the cupcake department.  Went to get a new table runner and....I didn't.  But here is what I did find.  Cupcake wine charms and Woodlands cupcake liners and picks in a variety of animals.  Nice!

Cupcakes & Golf Balls

I am a new golfer.  Frustration abounds. I want to change the name of the movie to The Worst Game Ever Played (and if you haven't seen The Greatest Game Ever Played it is fantastic and a true story).  So I decided that I will distract everyone from my lack of skills by looking fabulous on the course! 

I ordered a black and zebra golf bag which I promptly accessorized with a pink cupcake luggage tag and pink tees. I also got pink golf balls to which I added these awesome cupcake decals!  Golfdotz has many other decals...although I can't imagine why you would want anything other than a cupcake.

Cupcake Checks

Hardly anybody writes checks any more...but these cupcake checks from Checks Superstore are cute enough to make you start using them again!

REACH Cupcakes

I am a flight nurse for REACH Air Medical Services and today we visited Grass Valley Interagency Dispatch....so of course I made some cupcakes.  All REACH helicopters are bright red and as you know, red can be very difficult to make.  I used Satin Ice red fondant to make the helicopter cut-outs and then piped the letters with white Wilton candy melts. 

We toured the dispatch center and the CalFire tanker base which is also located there.  Thank you for all you do for us Grass Valley!
