Many (400) Mini Cupcakes!











Our church celebrated its 40th Anniversary this Sunday with special services and a wonderful church-wide reception after the evening service. As part of the dessert offerings, I was asked to make 400 Mini Cupcakes. I suggested that we offer three flavors: Key Lime with Coconut Buttercream and Toasted Coconut, Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Icing and Cappuccino with Mocha Buttercream, Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans and Tiramisu Pirouettes. It was a lot of work, but I was very pleased with the end results.

Fall Birthday Cake


This weekend was a busy one! A friend from church ordered a cake to be delivered to her Secret Pal for her birthday on Sunday. The decorations were left up to me and I decided on a fall-themed cake for the Birthday Girl. The cake is Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Icing. The decorations are gumpaste mums, leaves, acorns and birthday plaque, and a few "sprinkles" of fall leaves. The feedback from the Birthday Girl was positive- cake was delicious and beautiful. Music to my ears!!
