Happy 3rd Birthday Evan!!

I was more than happy to make cupcakes to celebrate a special boy's 3rd birthday.
















The party was construction themed. Lots of hard hats and bulldozers!















Good party, good friends, good food. Just the way it should be :)

Margarita Cupcakes

My list of cupcakes to try keeps getting shorter and shorter. I can now mark off Margarita cupcakes. I followed a recipe I found online via Google. You basically just substitute margarita mix for water. The frosting is lime buttercream. I only used the juice of one lime and biting into these cupcakes creates an explosion in your mouth! The top is sprinkled with sea salt which makes these cupcakes contain 3 of the 4 tastes your tongue can detect (sour, sweet & salty). The hubs said they were the perfect balance of sour and sweet. We were both disappointed with the cake's consistency. It just tastes like box cake. Oh well.. below are my pics.


















































P.S. Happy 5th Anniversary (tomorrow) to my official cupcake tester! I LOVE YOU

More is More

Well... I just got back from a trip "home". Happy to report while on vacation, I made 6 batches of cupcakes. The only new ones I tried were S'mores by request for my sister-in-law's birthday. I'll definitely be making them again soon. I only photographed the last batch I made because I really liked how the piping turned out on them. Flowery. Take a look!





























The kids liked them too.
