myKakes is going B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

For all of you banana lovers out there, myKakes now has two delicious flavors for you!

First, a delicate banana cupcake topped with a sweet cinnamon cream cheese frosting. The cinnamon carries through to the cupcake for optimum spice flavor! Second, top this cupcake with chocolate cream cheese frosting for a perfect chocolate-banana marriage!
Which one will you choose?!

New Photos!

I consider myself a good cook and pretty talented at baking, but I am no photgrapher! My good friend, Alison, is a local photographer here in Holland, and I was lucky enough to have her shoot some great photos of my cupcakes for my website!

Here is just a sampling of the great work that she does!

Be sure to check out her new website and blog!

Thank you, Alison! They are amazing!

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!

Sneaking a cupcake from the secret stash under the table!

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)!

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!
