Baby Shower Cupcakes

In August, 2011, we had a surprise baby shower for my cousin Jessica. She was having a boy (Note the blue type...hehe) Naturally, I offered to bring cupcakes. I did chocolate with vanilla buttercream.

Apples!

Apple picking...

We went apple picking in November and got so many yummy apples. And it was free! A family friends orchard. We are still using the apples, months later! I chopped them all and froze them. Some of the I chopped and seasoned and then froze. MMmm, the thought of apple pies and turnovers is making me hungry!

Here are some pictures of Scarlett, enjoying her day. :)

Not enough time in a day!

It is amazing how quickly a day, a week and then a month goes by. There's just not enough time in a day to keep up with everything that I want to do. Lately my time is consumed with my daughter and work. Not a bad thing! I can't get enough of my baby girl, and I even enjoy what I do for work. 

Anyways, to the point! CUPCAKES! I will be writing a different post for each cupcake adventure I have been on so far this year. Considering I haven't done a post since December, I have some catching up to do.

Scarlett turns 1!

What a milestone! Our little girl had her first birthday in September. She is growing up so fast. She has all of her teeth, she's running around, trying to sound out words when we say them to her. Well, as some of you know, Mickey Mouse is Scarlett's most favorite character EVER! She will drop whatever she's doing if she sees him. So, of course, I had to make her a Mickey cake. This is the first cake I've done like this, and it turned out great. Way better that I had imagined. And I also did cupcakes. Chocolate with vanilla buttercream. 

 

Tori's Birthday cupcakes

These are Double Chocolate cupcakes that I made for Tori on her birthday. She came over, and our two beautiful daughters had a play date. And Scarlett took her first steps as well!!

 

Campfire cupcakes!

Tis the season...... For s'mores!

My latest creation, Campfire cupcakes. Chocolate cupcakes with vanilla butter cream. (I haven't yet perfected the marshmallow buttercream) Sprinkled with cinnamon and a mini s'more!

 

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th everyone! (I know, it's August...) 

I made these cupcakes for my Mom's house. We had a nice bbq with the family. Chocolate cupcakes (the most popular so far I guess!) with blue vanilla butter cream and star sprinkles.
