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!

The Graduation Season Begins.....

This weekend, I was busy baking cupcakes for birthday parties, baby showers, and the beginning of open houses!

This particular open house was dear to my heart as Grand Rapids Christian High is my alma mater and I attended Hope College. I had so much fun with this one, especially coordinating the school colors with the cupcakes!

Congratulations, Austin!  Best of luck at Hope this fall!

I do have to apologize for the poor quality of the photos.... I am not a photographer by any means, and I took these with my camera on my phone!

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!

Myself with Diane, the honoree of the evening, and my dear friend, Veronica.

Flavors of choice:

Chocolate with chocolate butter cream
Coconut with coconut cream cheese frosting

Lemon with lavender butter cream

Diane and her husband, Rich. I think he got brownie points that evening (or should I say myKakes points)!

Happy First Birthday Charlotte!

The Birthday girl in her adorable little attire!

I made these sweet little cupcakes for Charlotte's first birthday. Coconut cupcakes with coconut cream cheese frosting and chocolate with pink butter cream were the choices and I think they are perfect for a little girls special day! I love the colors pink and brown together and the little flowers are precious for a little princess!

Happy First Birthday, Charlotte!

Enjoy your sweet treat!

Miller Baby Shower

A few photos from a recent order I had for another Baby Shower! They picked some great flavors including chocolate cupcakes with chocolate butter cream and S'mores.

I also loved doing the green and yellow fondant flowers to match their theme!
