Graduation

Hey guys!!! Man it's been awhile since my last blog post. I have a lot to catch you up on. I've been so busy lately with graduation, starting a new job and of course making CUPCAKES.

Where do I start? Well lets start by catching you up on whats been going on since I last wrote to you all. On May 1st I graduated from Waynesburg University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a Major in Entrepreneurship and a Minor in Marketing. (No I do not know the random girl walking in the background of the picture below haha)



I finally graduated college!! I can't believe how fast the last four years have gone. I learned a lot throughout my four years in and out of the classroom.  I am beyond thankful for the amazing people that came into my life by attending Waynesburg University. I want to take the time to recognize some of the people that impacted my life these past four years.

There is 4 girls that made my time at Waynesburg extra special. They became my best friends freshman year and I know that we will be forever friends. Mims Miller, Heather Davis, Brooke Simons and Maura Bobby. They were my teammates, my best friends, a shoulder to cry on, tough love at times, and everything between. They helped me through the tough times and made the good times even better. I made some incredible memories with these girls by my side. I could always count on them. I already miss them and I am going to miss them so much in the years to come. But I know that the friendship that we have will last a lifetime.



I also have to give a shout out to my Lady J's. I owe a lot to them. Many hours were spent in the gym and on a bus with my girls. We ran a lot of sidelines and a lot of blood, sweat and tears were shared through the four years in the Lady J's uniform. There was some ups and there was more downs then expected but I wouldn't trade my experience as a Lady J's for anything. I learned what being a leader really means. I learned what hard work is and what happens when you put in the hard work. I learned a lot about myself. I didn't just grow as a basketball player but I grew as a person during my time on the basketball court with my Lady J's. No matter what was happening I knew I could go to the gym and these girls would help me forget about it for a little while.



I would also like to recognize my family for helping me through these past four years. The support I got from my parents and my wonderful sisters was unreal. My grandparents were always there for me. My grammy and my grandpa supported me and could always put a smile on my face no matter what. My Grandma Blair and my Aunt Karen barely missed a game with their bright orange shoes. It meant a lot to me that I could look up in the stands and always have someone there to support me.

I don't think they will ever know but the support I got from them throughout my college career, my basketball career, and my short lacrosse career meant the absolute world to me. Family is everything to me. I am forever thankful for the family that God has blessed me with.




Now it is time to chase my dreams. It'll take hard work and dedication but I am up for the challenge.

I made a lot of delicious cupcake orders for my customers that I would love to share with you guys. Stay tuned :)


Until next time.

Run for the Roses Bridal Shower

Good Evening and Happy Wednesday!! I had a high school friend approach me a little while back to make her sister's bridal shower cupcakes. Her sister attended Kentucky University, where she met her   FiancĂ© .  After they get married they will be moving back to Kentucky. As you probably collected Kentucky has a BIG part of their relationship.  The bride’s sister wanted to somehow incorporate Kentucky into the cupcakes for the bridal shower.  We made Run for the Roses mini cupcakes to add a creative twist to the bridal shower. She requested mini cupcakes so they are easy to grab and go. The other thought was it wouldn’t be too messy for the women who 'dressed up for the derby". We loved this idea! The flavors that she requested were Mocha Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting and Strawberry Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting . With the frosting piped and colored to look like roses. These cupcakes turned out simple and classy....

Pretty and Pink Smash Cake!

Smash Cake!!!! Have you all been to a little kids first birthday?? My first one was one of my best friend's little girls birthday party. It was so much fun to watch Baby Sky with her cake. At first she was caution. She was giving her mom a look like mommy what is this?? Then she tried a little piece of the cake and her face lite up. In her tiny human brain she looked like she was screaming CAKE!!!!! It was so adorable to witness such a thing. I had the honor of making a sweet girls first birthday cake and I have a feeling her experience went the same as well. Her dad requested a smash cake and said anything with pink. So of course I had to add a special twist to it. Pretty and Pink Smash Cake When I delivered the cake I got multiple comments that "it is too pretty to smash". That to me is the best compliment. You know that the smash cake exists so the parents and relatives can take cute pictures of the cake smashed all over t...
