Back from the dead!!

2010-10-11T22:06:00.000-07:00

Praise the lord, my back problems are getting better and I made my first batch of post-epidural injections cupcakes this evening for a coworker's birthday. I got the recipe for these from Annie's Eats and boy are they scrumptious! Very decadent and the frosting is to die for. I'll definitely be making these again, this time making a few revisions to the recipe. The caramel called for in the recipe is much too hard to work with, so I'll be on the lookout for a substitute. Otherwise, they're delicious and I'm sure my coworkers will love them.

Cupcakes on hiatus

Hey guys!

Unfortunately, I'm not selling cupcakes anymore. I just am not able to give it the energy it deserves so I'm taking an indefinite break from the biz. I haven't lost my love for baking, so I'll try to keep posting pics of my creations.

Hey ya'll, sorry I haven't posted in forever! I'm going to try and be better about updating my blog and hopefully getting a website up. Last weekend I had the opportunity to make cupcakes for my lovely friend Dania's niece's first birthday party. I made a dainty pink fondant daisy rum cake and matching volcano and chipperoo cupcakes. I thought they looked beautiful!

Lauren's Bridal Shower!!!

2007-12-25T21:33:00.000-08:00

Lauren is such a dear friend of mine, and when she told me that she wanted cupcakes for her tea party themed shower, I was so excited to make her the best cuppies I possibly could :) She wanted "flowers" so I decided to give her lots of different flowers, and to stick with her pink and white theme.

Jacob's Baptism Cupcakes!

2007-12-19T21:46:00.000-08:00

Unfortunately, the day I made Jacob's baptism cupcakes, I didn't have my camera on me! I was so upset, because they really came out adorable! BUT, in the nick of time I remembered that my camera had a phone and so I at least snapped a few shots before they were devoured. Ana Maria, Jacob's mom, requested custom cupcakes to celebrate one of the most important days of Jacob's life thus far, and it was an honor to make them for her :)

Please excuse the poor resolution - Remember, camera phone!

Johanna's Peepee cupcakes!!

2007-11-05T08:29:00.000-08:00

Oh my God, what a RIOT!! Johanna contacted me last week to see if I could make her some penis cupcakes for a bachelorette party. Of course I said yes, while laughing to myself. Everyone at the bakery was cracking up as I made the little fondant penises, and my dad was calling me a "desgraciada" all day, which means that I am a disgraced young woman (all in good fun!)

Anyway, they were so fun to make and I am glad I have another order for penis cupcakes this weekend!

Jen is turning into one of my best customers! Not only does she give me really fun ideas and cupcakes to make, but she also is an incredibly thoughtful person which gives her lots of excuses to order cupcakes :) Her husband, Gaby and dog, Shula just happen to share the same birthday, so she thought it would be really fun to do some Gaby/Shula themed cupcakes.

Now that twins Sofia and Lucas's arrival is just around the corner, there was a beautiful baby shower in Claudia's honor today at the Barnacle in Coconut Grove. It was such a lovely place and Claudia was absolutely radiant. She had a fun and whimsical "sweets" theme, so cupcakes were perfect for the event!

Meli's bridal shower :)

2007-09-30T13:35:00.001-07:00

I had so much fun making cupcakes for Meli's bridal shower. Her shower was on Sept 23 at Sole, and since she was having a very bright, colorful, floral theme, she requested some brightly colored cupcakes with daisies on them. I made the daisies by hand and with all my love for Meli!!! She ordered Guava and Cheese Cupcakes and Vanilla cupcakes, two of my personal favorites :)
