Busy Busy!

Orders out the wazoo! 3 this week! Things are starting to move :D

The first was for 6 for a friend's, friend's birthday. Chocolate with orange cream cheese and chocolate cherry filled with Godiva white chocolate liqueur buttercream; apparently a delicious success.

The second was for 2 dozen miniatures for a wonderful lady. She lives in the same building as the restaurant I work in and it was her birthday today. I sort of half worked her party in the wine bar (I bartend), but was sent home early since the other bartender was also working incase things got crazy. After being sweetly invited to join them for a drink, I sat down and enjoyed a beer.


Her order included chocolate with strawberry buttercream, all natural red velvet with cream cheese icing, coconut with lime buttercream and lemon with blueberry cream cheese icing. I had a lot of fun with this order!

Now the third is for Saturday, which I believe is for a first anniversary. My services were enlisted after a local bakery that just opened up disappointed her by some expensive, not-so-special cupcakes for her last party. I'm going to do my best to wow her with some fancy little concoctions for a much cheaper price.

I'm LOVING the direction things are going in! I also have another order for a wedding shower in August, including cookies, a cheesecake and maybe a pie. YUMMY!

Best. Job. Ever.

My First Order!

I just dropped off my first order!
It was for 3 dozen, so I made 6 different kinds:

Vanilla Brownie Surprise! with Buttercream


Lemon with Blackberry Cream Cheese


Cinnamon with Nutella Buttercream


Chocolate Cherry-Filled Cinnamon Cream Cheese


Coconut with Raspberry Buttercream


Carrot with Cream Cheese


The best part was that I made about a dozen extras (for my boyfriend and I to nibble on, of course), and after covering them with cling wrap leaving them on the dining room table, we went to bed. Around 3am, I heard one of the cats playing with what I thought was a ball of paper, no biggie. Well he kept coming closer, and eventually jumped on the bed and dropped what he had on my leg. I thought to myself, "jeeze that's a lot heavier than a piece of pap...no...it can't be!" So I reached down and got a handful of icing and cupcake! The little bugger daintily unwrapped the tray (how I have NO idea), stole a cupcake from the corner and I swear to god started to pull off the liner to eat it. He even brought it to bed!!!
I take it as a compliment; my cupcakes are loved by even cats! ♥
