Baking Break

I'm on a little baking break. We moved earlier this year and are busy settling in and adjusting to life in a new home. I hope to be up and busting out cupcake awesomeness soon!

New flava!

Happy 31st! She's not a pastel kind of gal, and doing bright colors is always fun. Lovin' that electric pink.

The eyes have it..

Lemon/lemon with fresh raspberries. Little tidbits of Vanilla x2 peeking over on the left.

These are some much-delayed pics from my Picnic Day cupcake extravaganza. It was a fun time--got a little wild at the end, but hey, that's a college town for you! I had a great time testing out some new flavors. The cocoblast and lemon are keepers! I'll be back this Sat. for Indie Davis with some crafty ladies. Stop by! Do your Mother's Day shopping and then reward yourself with a cupcake. She'd be proud.

Again! Again! Again!

If I sound like an overly excited 3 year-old, it's because I'll be at nina and tom's tomorrow for more cupcake love. It's Picnic Day in Davis--which is like a giant Open House for the University here. I love it. Especially since the weather is supposed to be amazing! Stop by and say hey!

Bake Sale blast

I had the best time on Saturday at nina and tom's cupcake party! After a rainy week, the sun was shining and people were smiling. And eating cupcakes. Lots of them! I had very few leftovers. I'm looking forward to doing it again soon. I already have new flavor ideas swirling in my head.

This Saturday!

My favorite local indie shop is hosting me for a cupcake party in Davis, CA! I've been spending the week dreaming up yummy flavor combinations sure to tickle the tastebuds of the young and young at heart. I'm nervous, excited and baking up a storm. Blackberries! Mint! S'mores! Stop by and say hello. 'Cause we all love cupcakes.

Little baby roses with leaves. Vanilla x2 + sour candy tape cut into leaf shapes.

Big roses, too. But I like them better little.

Preschool Open House

Mini tid-bits in chocolate and vanilla. Topped with tinted buttercream and sugar cookie "A,B,C"s. Let me tell you, those kids were eager to devour that alphabet!

Peanut butter with chocolate frosting. Topped with chocolate sprinkles and white fondant daisies.

Lemon-lime with vanilla buttercream. A good mix of tart and sweet! I like the flecks of lime zest in the cake, too. These were gone lickety split!

And I did minis, too! Bitty one-bites for sampling at my daughter's school. Next up, pretty little one-bites for my other daughter's preschool open house. More pics to come!
