Cupcakes are my love language

Recently I have started to realize that I often use cupcakes to tell people how much I care about them. So, gone are the days that the languages of affection are limited to physical touch, quality time, and so on...at least one of my love languages is definitely cupcakes. My loved ones are OK with it, I think. : )

You may have noticed that I have added a few pages at the top of the screen: prices, services, flavors, and contact. Take a moment to check these out! Lots of new info - you don't want to miss it!

Alright, now to the fun stuff! Here are some pictures of cupcakes I did this weekend!



Bowling pin cupcakes! For a 7 year old joint birthday party! (notice that the pins all have 7s on them!) These are white cake with vanilla butter cream frosting. Bowling pins are made from fondant. I hand-painted the bowling pins with a food color/water mixture, and sprinkled a tiny bit of edible glitter on top just to be fancy! There is also squiggly paper decoration to add a festive flare! There is a conservative amount of aqua blue sprinkles on top for another textural element.



Bowling balls! These cupcakes are devil's food cake with vanilla butter cream frosting. The bowling balls are made of fondant, colored black. The finger holes on he balls are edible pearls (hard candy consistency). These cupcakes also have a small amount of red sugar sprinkles on top, as well as the squiggly paper on top for more decoration!


Here are some of the cupcakes with the invitation that the moms gave me. Just adorable.
I loved working on these! I had never done bowling cupcakes before and it turned out to be such fun!


Valentine cupcakes! This weekend myself, and some of my friends from childhood got together for a girls' night! I promised them cupcakes - because that's how I show that I care! So since it is almost Valentine's day, I settled on a V-day theme! These are strawberry and white cake with vanilla butter cream. I made little white chocolate roses - as a nod to V-day chocolates. And added a paper heart topper and some edible glitter and pearls to make them even more girly and fancy!


These were super yummy....I took 2 dozen and only came home with 3 cupcakes...way to go girls!


I made the aqua Valentine ones with some extra frosting from the bowling cupcakes and gave them to my little sister and her roommates at college. This was a fun cupcake weekend! Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you enjoyed it!

*Don't forget to take a look at the new pages!*

Have a great (snowy) Monday, fellow Oklahomans! And if you're not reading from Oklahoma, you have a great Monday (any kind you want!), too!
