Introducing Thomas and Jaclyn Cooper!

The venue was Egypt Valley Country Club, and the day was gorgeous! The bride chose a variety of cupcakes that incorporated the flavors we think of for Fall, including Mocha and Spice cake. I topped them with delicate little chocolate leaves sprinkled with gold dust.

Unfortunately, my camera ran out of power (typical), so I took this shot off my phone.... Not the best quality, but know I won't be winning any awards for photography. I'll leave that to the experts and focus on baking!

Congratulations you two!

Congratulations, Tom and Susan!

It was a lovely Summer Day in September for a Wedding!

The locale was the Felt Mansion in Saugatuck.... a beautiful venue for the glowing bride and her wedding party!

Thank you, Tom and Susan, for letting myKakes be a part of your memorable day!

Some other links that I thought you might enjoy.... The catering was provided by Chris Ferris; a spectacular chef in West Michigan!

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!

Little Greta's Baby Shower; A Future myKake Addict!

One of my biggest fans had a baby shower for a dear friend and ordered her favorite; the ever-popular coconut cupcakes!

She sent me this shot from the get-together and I thought it was a great one to post on here!  The guest of honor was sweet little Greta and cupcakes were in her honor.  I loved making these and the delicate little "g" atop each cupcake added that special little touch for the sweet little girl that has entered into this world.

Thank you for the photo, Sari, and for continuing to be a loyal myKake fan! 

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!
