Love is Sweet Grab a Treat – Engagement Party Cupcakes

Burr it sure is cold here in Ohio. 

Just when you thought it would warm up……. You wake up to everything covered in white fluffy snow. The forecast is looking like it will be warming up soon... which means all of the pretty white snow will be melting which means a muddy mess. Yup that sounds like a winter in Ohio.
Throughout the winter months what is better than staying warm in the kitchen baking up a storm? My sister, Heather, got engaged and I couldn’t be more thrilled for her and her finance. I am the youngest of 4 and Heather was the first one to get engaged. With that being said my parents are beyond excited. 
Anytime there is an excuse to have a party my family goes all out. We planned an awesome engagement party for the love birds. Of course I took this time to whip up a new recipe. I was thinking I wanted to capture the engagement with the flavors of my cupcakes. Growing up my Aunt Karen always sang "love is in the air" to my sisters and I. When I was planning for the party that song stuck in my head. 

 I sat there singing along in my head and thought I want the smells of the kitchen to reflect what an engagement is all about, love. I decided on Champagne Cupcakes to celebrate the couple and Chocolate Cupcakes because everyone loves Chocolate.

One of my favorite things to do is spend time in the kitchen putting new recipes together. I take advantage of family parties and holidays to try out new recipes. I know my family will give me an honest opinion.

To add an extra twist to the design I shaped the cupcakes into a diamond (big diamond) ring with “she said yes!” in the middle. Then added some sprinkle dust to the diamond to make it stand out. I wanted to make the ring pop so I spreaded shinny gold circles around the cupcakes.
They were a big hit. Everyone loved the flavor of the cupcakes and went on and on about the dazzled display. They were a hit that added something extra sweet to the party.

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   Fiancé .  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...
