Mother's Day

I know I'm late...a lot late. I'm a bad daughter. I didn't do a mother's day post on the actual day like everyone else. That definitely doesn't mean we didn't celebrate though. We had a mother's day weekend that ended with a family dinner.....grilled hot dogs, real potato salad, beans, and cupcakes for dessert. MMMMMMM!


Mom got flowers, a gift card to buy more flowers (that's what she wanted), and a charm for her Pandora bracelet. 

The flowers were from The Secret Garden (I highly recommend). The cupcakes were german chocolate...by her request. This was the first time I have made them and they turned out okay. Here is a close up...

What can I say about my mom?!? She's my bestie, my BFF. We shop, we eat, we watch TV, we make fun of each other. 

And just because I feel I should include the OTHER daughter...I'll put one with Jord in it too. haha. Happy Mothers Day!

Your favorite, 

Wedding Season

I've done soooooo many wedding shower cupcakes lately.....most of them are very similar (except for a special post I'll share soon).

It's graduation time again!

Note: Graduation hats are an additional .50 cents per cupcake :)

Princess Party

I've said this a million times, but I LOVE making cupcakes for kids. Girl, boy, sports, princesses...I love it all. These pink and purple cupcakes were covered with sprinkles and glitter....and of course princess picks!

New Flavors!

This week I had some time (and a very nice customer who let me pick her flavors) so I got to try some new recipes!!! 


First I updated my white cupcakes that are filled with raspberry. I baked the filling in the cupcake (rather than adding it after they were baked)... and I thought they turned out much better! You can't really see the flavor in this picture...but this was them...

The other new cupcake I've added to my menu are yellow cupcakes filled with miniature chocolate morsels. MMMMM. I like them with chocolate frosting...

On a different note, I have decided to charge extra for the filled cupcakes. The filling was not  a part of my original pricing structure, PLUS, they take more time to make. A dozen filled cupcakes (see my flavor combinations page for a full list of filled cupcakes) is now $20.

Half Easter, Half Birthday

Most of my Easter orders were similar...this one was half Easter, half birthday. I loved them!

Remember my helpers???

Both of my little helpers are 2 now. Do you remember them? This was a year ago...

One year olds were easier...I have to admit. Now, they HAVE to help when they see me in the kitchen. As soon as the mixer starts, little feet start running. And now they ask questions...OH THE QUESTIONS. What color is that? Can I do it? Can I put this in? Can i lick the spoon? THe questions never stop. Either way, I can't complain. They are too cute and love having them around. These pictures are from the last few weeks...

Usually they are good.

But if I'm not paying attention...

Happy Birthday Noah

There is nothing better than baking cupcakes for people I know. Especially when they are kids. And especially when I get to do a fun theme. These are the reasons I love Hello Cupcake! Days when I'm tired from working all day, then come home to work in the kitchen for hours, I have to remind myself of days like today...when I get to back for people I know...and I'm reminded why all of the long days are worth it.

600

600 cupcakes. That was my week. No pictures of the cupcakes baking...but I did take a picture of the 50 batches of buttercream frosting. Yes, 50 batches. I could not lift these tubs when they were full.

I put them together in 4-pack boxes (150 of them to be exact), tied with ribbon, and packed in boxes!
