Thank You Cupcakes

I had two different orders this week for "thank you" cupcakes. I can personalize picks for any occasion!

New Menu, New Prices, New Business Cards!

What a crazy few months it's been?!? I've gone from making cupcakes for fun, to forcing my family and friends to try them, to selling to my friends, to now selling to EVERYONE! My love for cupcakes grows as I spend hours in the kitchen trying new recipes, decorations and techniques. I've added lots of new flavors the past few weeks and wanted to post a complete menu. You'll notice 4 fruit inspired flavors, which I think will be great for events in the coming spring and summer months.

NEW MENU

Classics

- classic moist white cake, topped with cream cheese or chocolate frosting (looks great in tie dye!)
- milk chocolate cake (or white cake), topped with traditional buttercream frosting
- devils food chocolate cake, topped with whipped cream cheese frosting
- yellow cake, topped with chocolate, cream cheese or buttercream frosting
- coconut almond cake, topped with almond cream cheese frosting
- peanut butter cupcakes, topped with creamy peanut butter cream cheese frosting
- red velvet cake, topped with classic cream cheese frosting
Fruit Inspired
- rich lemon cupcakes, topped with cream cheese frosting and garnished with lemon zest
- moist strawberry cupcakes, topped with strawberry cream cheese frosting
- maraschino cherry cupcakes, topped with cherry cream cheese frosting

Filled Cupcakes

- milk chocolate cupcakes, filled with peanut butter cream cheese, topped with milk chocolate frosting
- dark chocolate cake, filled with chocolate/coffee liquor, topped with coffee buttercream frosting

Prices vary depending on customization and decorating involved. In general, each cupcake is $1.25.

- 1 dozen standard.....$15

- 1 dozen mini.....$6
- 2 dozen mini.....$12
Any order with fondant lettering will increase the price above by $2. Additional prices for other decorations will be determined when the order is placed.

NEW BUSINESS CARDS

Okay....so these are supposed to be a suprise...but I'm so excited that I couldn't wait!

Merry Christmas to Hello Cupcake!

WOW! What a Christmas?!? I had to share some of the adorable gifts I received this year. Everyone was so thoughtful and supportive to me AND Hello Cupcake!

I didn't even know cupcake stationary existed. Much to my suprise...I now have an entire set! There are also matching pads of paper and recipe cards (not pictured).

I am SOOOO excited about this paper! I love it!

Oven mitts and towels:

Single cupcake carrier. Haven't tried this yet...not sure how a cupcake will look AFTER being smushed in this little case...

OK, so this really isn't cupcake related...but it's cute and I'm sure I'll use it for taking orders (since I don't have an office).

Throw pillow (again, I don't have anywhere to put it....yet)

Spatulas. Well, online I thought these were "standard" size...ALWAYS read the fine print. These are of no use since they are TINY (this picture is deceiving). I'll still probably keep them becuase they are so cute!

APRONS! I received THREE different aprons for Christmas and I LOVE them all!

Cupcake liners. These were a fun suprise. I envision hot pink or red icing...

And last, my biggest suprise.... a KitchenAid Professional 610 Stand Mixer! (No picture yet b/c I am exchanging it for a different color.) I had NO IDEA about this and I can't wait to use it!

I was also fortunate enough to get giftcards to Fantasy in Frosting and Michaels! Thanks to everyone for their kind and thoughtful gifts!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

To end this Thanksgiving weekend, I wanted to say THANKS to ALL of my family and friends who have been so supportive of Hello Cupcake. I am, at times, overwhelmed at the positive feedback and encourgament I receive. I want everyone to know that your support keeps me motivated to work hard (especially on those nights when I'm still baking at midnight). 

In the future, to show my appreciation, I plan to highlight people every week or so who have gone out of their way to support me and Hello Cupcake.

Thanks again,
Jessica
