Jayden's Super Mario Cupcakes

Jayden LOVES Super Mario Brothers. He asked for a dozen Super Mario Cupcakes to share with his daycare class for his third birthday. When did young children get to be so particular? (LOL)


The chocolate/ chocolate cupcakes apparently were a BIG hit with the class and teachers. I was told it was the best birthday treats any of them have ever had. YEAH for me!! :D

Chris and Carly's Engagement Cupcakes

Chris and Carly are good friends of mine, and when they asked me to make cupcakes for their engagement party, I was flattered.

I made 4 flavors, peanut butter cups (Carly's favorite), double chocolate, vanilla, and raspberry cheesecake, in both regular and mini sizes. They were a big hit, and everyone of them were devoured.

Bailey's Mint Chocolate Cupcakes

These were made for my friend Chris' birthday.  They are chocolate cupcakes filled with white chocolate and Bailey's Hint of Mint Irish Cream, frosted with mint swiss meringue buttercream, and then topped with a Bailey's cake bomb.  YUM!  

They were very decadent and perfect with a cup of coffee.  Who knew cupcakes could be so grown up!  Thank you Lots of Sprinkles for the recipe.

Ivy's Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes for Ivy who was bringing them to a farewell party for a friend.  She wanted something elegant with a variety of flavors but only needed two dozen cupcakes.  I suggested her ordering two different kinds of cupcakes and toppings, and then interchange them.  So she requested chocolate/ chocolate, vanilla/ chocolate, vanilla/ vanilla, and chocolate/ vanilla.  

She didn't ask for any decorations, but I wanted something small and pretty for the cupcakes.  She said flowers and colored sugar was okay.  So I made white flowers out of fondant and painted one set light pink and the other dusted with gold powder.  

The vanilla frosting had the golden flowers sprinkled with clear crystal sugar.  

The chocolate ones had the pink tinted flowers with silver dragees.  

Ivy has written back and said the cupcakes were a hit at the party.  Thanks, Ivy!  

Richmond, BC's SPCA Cupcakes

Blueberry/ vanilla cupcakes

Last weekend I made over 100 cupcakes for Richmond's SPCA.  It was for their new location's first year anniversary.  I made blueberry/ vanilla cupcakes, double chocolate cupcakes, orange chocolate cupcakes, and vanilla/ vanilla cupcakes (some which were decorated with chocolates made by my sister Jess).

Dark Chocolate Cayenne Truffle Cupcakes

Inspired by Daniel's Chocolates' Spicy Dark Chocolate Truffles, these cupcakes are dark chocolate cakes with cayenne pepper and topped with dark chocolate buttercream also with a hint of cayenne pepper.  Very decadent!

D's Birthday Cupcakes

These are cupcakes my husband requested for his birthday.  One set are vanilla sponge cakes (for him); the other set are chocolate cupcakes (for me).  They are all topped with strawberry and mango puree (D's favorite fruits) and strawberry and mango meringue buttercream.  

Auntie J's Mini Cupcakes

These are a take on Acme's cupcakes.  They are mini vanilla cupcakes with lemon curd and lemon meringue buttercream.  Each of them topped with a sweet and juicy raspberry.  Enjoy!

Acme's Birthday Cupcakes

These vanilla cupcakes were made for my cousin Acme's birthday.    

Some of the cupcakes were frosted with meringue chocolate buttercream and topped with either fondant flowers or chocolate shavings.  

The others were covered with a layer of lemon curd, frosted with lemon meringue buttercream, and topped with either fondant flowers or candied lemon slices.
