Cupcake week

Thank you to everyone who purchased Cupcakes for a Cause, to support CancerCare for Kids! We decorated the cupcakes with the candy logo we were given by the cause, and they attracted a lot of attention! Our limited-time-only Strawberry Swirl cupcake was very popular!

From holidays, to birthday parties for kids and adults, to fancier versions for wedding receptions, cupcakes have become a trend that just doesn't go out of style.

We decorated these cupcakes with the bride and groom's last initial, and covered it with sugar pearls. Not only did it dress up the cupcakes for the reception, but it personalized the cupcakes specifically to the couple.

Buttercream flowers on these cupcakes fit into the garden party theme this guest was having. We used bright, summer colors and touched on different flowers she had in her own garden.

Because chocolate is such a dark, rich color, we decorated the fudge covered cupcakes with brightly colored fondant roses. The bright colors really pop on the fudge frosting, and the cupcakes couldn't look more delicious!

With a large variety of flavors, fillings, and seemingly no end to decoration possibilities, cupcakes are a delicious alternative to add to ANY celebration!
...look for our Halloween Cupcakes coming soon!

Vintage Themed Photo Shoot at KLM

This week I participated in a Wedding Guide photo shoot at Katherine Legge Memorial Park along with Jane’s Blue Iris of Hinsdale.

Jane, from Jane’s Blue Iris chose the Vintage theme that was a perfect choice for KLM.
KLM Park has been around since the early 1920s and is the perfect setting for a wedding ceremony and reception with its beautiful wooded areas and natural light.

I loved the vintage theme and drew inspiration from the Victorian era. I created a sweet table full of delicately decorated cakes, petit fours and cookies.

The day of the photo shoot was sunny and beautiful, with the only downfall going to the bees that loved the sweet smell of our flowers and cakes. You can spot them in some pictures -and some of us were unfortunate enough to get stung- but all for the good of the pictures that will be shown in an upcoming issue of the Wedding Guide!

Here are some snapshots that Barb from Jane’s Blue Iris too. These will serve as a precursor to the upcoming Wedding Guide issue.

Also I plan to recreate the look in our store window as a sneak preview!
