Cupcakey Valentine Cakes!

It's Valentine's Day at Cupcakey Cakes! My great friend Ashley (Daly Dose) recently put together this lovely photo shoot. I love the images she captured, and I had such a great time creating these cupcakes. For Valentines day, I chose Red Velvet - of course - with piped vanilla buttercream in pink, white, and red + sweet love and romance themed decorations to celebrate the day!

The cupcakes below were for a sweet little girl's 1st birthday! No better way to celebrate such a milestone than with cupcakes! Her Dr. Suess "Thing 1" themed party was adorable, and it was fun to be a part of it!

I hope all you Cupcakey Cakes customers and readers are having a nice winter season! If you're a local Oklahoman and you are interested in cupcakes for your next event please e-mail your orders or questions to cupcakey.cakes@yahoo.com or message Cupcakey Cakes on Facebook.

Happy Valentine's Day - love someone!

Holiday projects

Holidays bring with them the undeniable excuse to enjoy all kinds of wonderful treats! My favorite Christmas desserts are, of course, cupcakes! There are many ways to make the always festive cupcake more than appropriate for holiday get-togethers! Here are few designs and flavors that worked for me.
