Happy 1st Birthday J.J.!

From the looks of it, I think JJ thoroughly enjoyed his first myKake!

Happy Birthday!

Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day!

Happy 50th Michelle!

HAPPY 50th Birthday, Michelle!

I have been a busy little baker so far this summer, but I just wanted to take a quick minute out of my day to post this photo. 

Michelle shares her birthday with the 50th anniversary of the Barbie Doll, so she had the Mattell creation as her theme and everything decked out in pink, white and black, including the cupcakes!

 

All the guests were asked to bring a Barbie which would then be donated to Santa Claus Girls.  41 dolls were collected for this wonderful organization!   Check out the following link to hear about this wonderful organization based in Kent County.

Hope the party was fabulous!

Surprise!

Summer is finally here in beautiful West Michigan!   With cupcake orders aplenty, I have been a tad too busy to work on my blog, but I wanted to showcase this sweet little myKake.  A client had a surprise party for her Husband; can you guess how old he is?!  Chocolate cupcakes with mocha butter cream were the choice for the party seeing as she has a coffee lover on her hands.  I topped them with a fondant 3-0, just to be sure everyone knows the reason for the big celebration!

~also~

For all you myKakes followers in the Grand Rapids area, I am waiving the gas surcharge for the months of July and August.  So, if you have a hankering for some delicious cupcakes, but not in the mood for the ride to Holland, I will happy to deliver them to you, free of charge!

Happy Summer!

April Showers bring......Cupcake orders! Thank you!

Whew! It has been a gorgeous weekend here in West Michigan, and I have been a cupcake baking machine! While I did not have time to take many photos of this weekends endeavors, I did manage to take one shot of the sweet cupcakes I created for a precious little girl.

Evie's mom asked for Vanilla with lavender tinted Vanilla Butter Cream. I hope the birthday girl enjoys them! I know I had a great time making them! Happy Birthday, Evie! Enjoy your special day!

I also would like to thank the Holland Junior Welfare League for letting myKakes be a part of their Bitter Sweet event at the Holland Area Arts Council! I hope the night was a success, and everyone got their fill of all things sweet while supporting a wonderful organization in our community!

Happy Birthday, Diane!

I had the privilege of making myKakes for my dear friend, Diane, for her 39th Birthday Bash! Her husband threw a fabulous party in her honor at Toulouse in Saugatuck, Michigan. She requested my cupcakes as her birthday dessert, but he mentioned he had already taken care of the dessert portion of the meal. Imagine her surprise when she found out that secretly, he already ordered my creation just for her and all her friends she dined with that evening!

Her husband and I decided upon coconut cupcakes, chocolate with chocolate butter cream, and the ever popular lemon with lavender infused butter cream. The birthday girl had three; one before dinner, one after the meal was served, and one when she returned home that evening!

Diane, I hope you had a fabulous birthday, and I thank you for letting me be a part of your special day!
