My first Tart!

When my good friend Natalia's birthday rolled around, I knew exactly what to make her. And no, it wasn't a cake or cupcakes. It was a fruit tart! Every time she tries my cupcakes, she says they are too sweet *gasp*. Yes yes, I have a super sweet tooth!

So for her birthday, I decided to contain my sweet tooth and attempt a yummy fruit tart. And I'm glad I did! I will definitely make the recipe again because I loved the filling and crust. It was like eating a shortbread cookie and a cheesecake (ok, maybe not to that cheesy of an extent) at the same time! Mmmm...

Happy Birthday Nat!

Mrs-to-be!

I love weddings. And I equally love bridal showers! A friend of mine is getting married in a few weeks so last weekend, I baked her a bridal shower cake. The thing is, she's a cake baker too - and an amazing one at that, so the pressure was on!

Also, 2.5 years ago, she baked my and hubby's engagement cake so I certainly wanted to return the favour! The recipe I used was one I LOVE and use often! A double chocolate cake with a super chocolaty filling.

Congrats Ky!

Baby Shower Cuppies!

One of friends is having a BABY!! Can you believe it!? Just a few years ago I was her bridesmaid. And now, she's going to be a mommy! I am very excited for both her and her husband and can't wait until the baby arrives early September. Until then... here are some pictures:

We're excited to meet you baby Micah!

Congratulations Niki + Marco

Oh my, I am such a slacker with my postings! So where do I start?

Niki and Marco's Wedding!!

I opened up my first bag of flour Friday morning and did not put down my spatula until Saturday afternoon at 3pm. Besides a last minute drive to Sobey's at 2am in the morning (thanks babe!), everything went as planned.

450+ cupcakes later, we sat through a lovely wedding reception dinner and enjoyed watching people devour the little cupcakes! We even caught this one girl making rounds around the foyer picking up 2 vanilla cupcakes each time she passed by. Yay!

Congrats Niki & Marco!

Cupcake News!

In about 1 week, I'll be baking my biggest order - 450 mini cupcakes for a friend's wedding. I'm excited about all the baking that'll happen, but I can't imagine how hot my townhouse is going to feel with the oven turned on for hours!

On another note, a good friend of mine has offered to help build my cupcake website!! I've sent in all the info/wording for the site so I can't wait until it's all finished and ready to be viewed by the world.

Birthday Cupcakes

Birthday Cupcakes. My favourite! I wanted something funloving and cute (exactly like my friend!) and ended up with bright coloured chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. The colour theme, green and purple, goes along with her wedding, which is this coming October.

Happy Birthday!!

Cupcake Key Covers

A friend of mine, who knows me all too well, bought me these super cute cupcake key covers! They are so fun and I love how each one has a different facial expression. I tried to get the hubby to put one one... yeah, not happening.
