Cupcakes for all occasions!

So what a summer its been! Along with some great vacations and some amazing adventures with Addy, I have enjoyed some great days baking and having my own adventures in the kitchen. I have been testing several cupcake recipes and found a few that I really love. One being a great Red Velvet recipe. So I have been having fun for different occasions baking and bringing smiles to some of my friends faces by the gift of cupcakes! Just some pictures of what I've been up to! Enjoy... and just message me if you would like to try some for yourself :)

Woody and Buzz to the Rescue!

My nephew turned 2 in July and to keep with tradition I made him a special cake! This

time I incorporated cupcakes with my cake and had fun again with a cupcake stand! The theme for the creations today was Toy Story. Time was not on my side, so I had to get a few special pieces quickly to tie this all together, or else I was going to need a new game plan! I was able to find the Woody figurine at my mom's and the buzz light year at Michael's. Phew. Now that I had those in place, it was time to think and finalize a design! Doing the wood fence on the cake was a new technique. Not that it was overly challenging, but it was new all together. The buzz light year moons and sheriff badges helped me tie in the cupcakes. I just did chocolate and vanilla with a butter cream icing. Over all this was a fun cake. Happy 2nd Birthday Aaron!

Cupcake stands!

There is no excuses here, life got a bit busy, then I (along with the fam) went on 2 weeks holidays and it is now that I am home and realizing there are a few events that need some blogging.

Prior to my blogging lull, I was asked to make some cupcakes for a friend who was attending and helping plan a wedding shower. I also have the privilege of doing the cupcakes for this wedding come the fall, and so I thought I would play around with colours and experiment in creatinga cupcake stand. I did some googling and looking around and came across a design that I felt affordable and easy to make. The deal closer for me was that I could ad a bit of design to the stand to make it personal to the event.

Enjoy some pictures of the cupcakes, but the stand as well!
