Happy Valentines Day!

I just finished making these sweet little mini myKakes for a precious little girl's preschool class. Her mom chose vanilla cupcakes with vanilla butter cream tinted pink, and then topped with a tiny fondant heart brushed with edible glitter....perfect for a little princess and her classmates!

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!

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 2009!

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!

Bowling at Lakeview Lanes!

This weekend we celebrated two of my three Boys birthdays at Lakeview Lanes in Douglas, MI. I finally had a chance to make cupcakes for my own family, ans I stuck with the theme of the day, and made little fondant bowling balls to decorate the Red Velvet cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting. They were amazing, and I had enough to share with the awesome staff at the Lanes!

Happy 5th Birthday, Henry & 8th Birthday, Willem!

I love you!

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!
