Ahhh! Bugs Everywhere!! Don’t worry, these are just insects made out of chocolate, no matter how creepy they look. These bug cupcakes are one’s I made for an 8 year old’s birthday party and I found the instructions from the Hello Cupcake book. When I get requests to make cupcakes, I typically have clients wanting […]

Fall Acorn Cupcakes
For a little friendsgiving get-together with my blogger friends, I made chocolate cupcakes with maple brown sugar frosting. Maple brown sugar is one of those flavors that just say Fall to me, so you are not limited to just Pumpkin flavored desserts for your Thanksgiving dinner. These cupcakes were really easy to make. I doctored […]
Margarita Cupcakes
I made Margarita Cupcakes for Cinco de Mayo, but did not have a chance to share photos or the recipe since I was in the middle of my 40 Days of DVF series. Since today is Mexican Independence Day, I thought it would be a good idea to share the recipe for these. It might […]
Box of Valentine Cupcakes
Hope you had a Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m glad I ended my post last week with a notice indicating I’d be busy making and decorating cupcakes. This box of mini cupcakes were made for Sasha Mak’s Love Me Love Me Not Vintage Jewelry Trunk Show last Wednesday. In honor of the upcoming holiday, I thought, […]
Aloha Cupcakes
In honor of my sister’s 21st birthday and her upcoming departure to Japan, our family threw her a Hawaiian Theme Party in her honor! I made some cute Funfetti Cupcakes with Vanilla frosting tinted a light brown with a teaspoon of cocoa. I added crushed graham crackers to look like sand and added the cocktail […]
Mr.Roboto Cupcakes
I made a robot out of cupcakes for a student intern’s last day at our office. He had graduated and was able to work the Summer until the beginning of the new semester. I wanted to make something he would like, so I chose to make this Robot from the What’s New, Cupcake? Book. If you […]
Chinese Takeout Cupcakes
I was enlisted to make some cupcakes for a going away party held in honor of a colleague leaving to China for 3 years to complete his MBA. I thought to myself, what better way to celebrate the party than with Chinese takeout? The cupcake idea and instructions came from the What’s New, Cupcake? book. The […]
Vegtable Garden Cupcakes
Finally showcasing the cupcakes I made for the June wedding. It was a simple backyard affair and I was given the creative freedom to run to decorate some garden-themed cupcakes since the couple enjoyed gardening. I made these cupcakes using the help of the Hello,Cupcake! book. The dirt is made up of crushed Oreo cookies and the […]
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cupcakes
I shared photos on Instagram earlier this week of some Peanut Butter and Chocolate cupcakes and after some requests I decided to share the recipe I used to make these. I feel like I don’t post cupcakes on this blog often enough, but part of that reason is that I have been busy/ focused on […]
“Larry the Lobster” Cupcakes
Finally some pictures of my beautiful lobster creation! I named him Larry just for the alliteration (must be the English major in me.) This idea came from the What’s New, Cupcake? and the body is made out of sour cherry fruit slices, smashed together with more sugar, rolled out with a rolling pin, and cut using […]
