To call this an overdue post is an understatement...

Where to begin! Well how about the cupcakes I made?

Do you see that?! Do you know what that means? Well...probably not, but I'll tell you!

So a month ago a few really good friends got hitched (YAY!) and I was able to help out a fellow baker and make 275 cupcakes. I will say that again, 275 cupcakes. Can I get that into a bigger font? Let's see, shall we?

275 cupcakes (not big enough yet)

275 cupcakes!!!!

That's about as large as the blogspot fonts will let me use, but anyway! So three days, tons of batter, TONS of frosting and a lot of fun and we had the pumpkin spice, red velvet and vanilla cupcakes for all the enjoy. It was a lot of hard work and totally worth it. I'm featuring the Red Velvet cupcakes because those were kind of "my babies." And that was only a portion of the red velvet. It was a lot and they were, I'm not going to lie, crazy delicious! (Better than Mr. Pibb and Red Vines, seriously...seriously)

So on to the next baking job:

Now this is a coconut cake, second coconut cake I've ever made in my life. And coconut cakes are a lot of fun to make! And SO good to eat.

Let's take a closer look, shall we!?

Yummy yummy yummy!

This was for an order for a lovely woman and her weekly Bible study group. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all!

The holiday season is upon us and I'm actually about to start working on a few dozen cupcakes for a party this weekend, and I'll most definitely be posting pictures (that's a promise)!! But this also means that there are tons of parties coming up, so instead of purchasing mass produced baked goods from your local grocery store and e-mail me!

And I'll leave this thought with you, I will be trying out Chocolate Sugar cookies with peppermint frosting all in the shape of ornaments. (Is your mouth watering yet!?)

What a weekend

When I get a sizable order, especially for cupcakes, it never seems to be a single order weekend. Case in point last weekend!

Thursday (it was a long weekend) I made 24+ Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting. I call the jury to glance at Exhibit A (the picture to your left. But of course I'm not going to simply show you a close up of a few of the said cup cakes. Oh no no no my dear friend.




I give you, exhibit B --->

Camera pulls back for the audience to see stacks and stacks of tasty and perfectly frosted delectables. (Not only do I use legal jargon but I also use script wording to show how versatile I am)


But like I said, it wouldn't be a weekend of orders if I didn't have another large order to follow shortly there after.

Next I present Mini Red Velvet Cupcakes, Bridal Shower style!

So a good friend of mine is getting hitched in the near future. And I was honored to be able to add to the shower festivities by bringing some fun, adorable little Mini Red Velvets.

This being a bridal shower I couldn't simply make mini cupcakes in white paper liner with some cream cheese frosting thrown on the top. I mean, if we're going to go we might as go all out! Being the go big or go home kind of chick when it comes to baking I incorporated the colors to the best of my abilities. The colors being fall colors and red being covered by the simple choice of Red Velvet, I baked the cupcakes in adorable orange and white dotted paper liners with yellow sugar sprinkled on top. I've provided a close up (well closer up than the first picture)




Yeah I don't know if you can tell all that from the pictures, but there you have it. The weekend also included baking three apple pies; two for the shower and another for my best customer, Moe.

So all in all it was a good baking weekend that ended in me eating way too many bite-size, oh so pop-able Red Velvet cupcakes.

So anyone need treats for up coming parties, showers, or Tuesday evenings?! Let me know, I'd be glad to help you out!

I surprised myself!

So over a year ago I was back in good ole Upstate New York and there was this bakery that made Red Velvet cupcakes for a little shin-dig I went to. And they were hands down the best Red Velvet cupcakes I had ever had! I mean moist, rich, soft and just plain tasty. I share this with you for one simple reason, this weekend I made Red Velvet Cupcakes that were better! And I'm not gonna lie, if my baking isn't as good as someone else's (example my Grandma) I would be the first to admit it. So I'm not lying, these cupcakes I made were AMAZING! And not only that but they were filled with cream cheese frosting. You read that right, filled! I'm providing pictures as proof:


































But I didn't stop there in the baking. (I mean, why would I?) Peaches were on sale; I couldn't stop myself and I honestly didn't want to. So I baked a peach pie. My second ever. And it was amazing. I mean I wanted to keep eating it, and for someone who has been eating pie all her life because it's the family default dessert, one piece no matter how good it is, is usually enough. Not this pie! I did good. And of course, there's a picture!


I await your orders :-D

Vampire Cupcakes! They sparkle...

...in the sun, out of the sun, on a platter, in the eyes of a happy Twilight loving youth!

So I made cupcakes for a young man's birthday and he just so happen to be a fan of Miss Alice from Twilight. So of course I had to make cupcakes that are as lovely as her in the sun. The order he received was chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting on one dozen and coconut frosting on the other dozen.




They were well received; I just forgot to take pictures of them. So I made another batch. Only this time it was vanilla cupcakes with either chocolate frosting or vanilla frosting.

These were also well received...by myself and my roommates :-D

So more proof and evidence that birthday parties, themed parties, afternoons when you crave cupcakes, etc are totally on our list of abilities.

So e-mail away and we can work out something to match what you're planning!

And remember every order is for a good cause, making two sisters' dreams come true! That's gotta be worth something!!!

Official level 5 - Business Cards!

You are seeing this right, we now have reached another official, legit level - Business cards! So now when you hear friends, family, co-workers, complete and utter strangers talking about where to get pie for an event, cookies for the family, cupcakes for a party etc etc etc you can hand them on of these handy little things!

So let me know if you want a hand full to help out us sisters and we'll be happy to provide!

*BUSINESS CARDS*

Let there be a logo!

That's right folks, you saw it here...semi-first. But I've finally got around to putting it on the blog. And by the end of the week - BUSINESS CARDS! Just in time for labor day weekend. Again, order pies, cookies, cupcakes etc for this weekend so you'll be the hero of the celebration and no one will be the wiser that you bought it! So as I leave you this evening, I will leave you to dwell on a pretty little icon for Baking Wizards!

Witness exhibit A)

Three Thumbs up!

Here you see a pie created and baked in the presence of the very monarch of perfect pie baking, aka, my Grandma Bea.

Of course you ask, who has three thumbs? Well I baked the pie and then insisted that my Grandma who has been making pies for almost too long, my dad, who has been eating pies for almost just as long, and my step mom all have a piece and grade my work. And I got approval from all three. That's big! They know what it's supposed to taste like and look like and they approved. So if you want a good pie worthy of it's creator, ORDER NOW!

On top of that, I got the recipes from my Grandma as well. I still have to look a bunch of them over, but I know there's blueberry pie, cherry pie, peach pie, banana cream and a few others. I still have to work out cost of those, but if you're not so much an apple fan, I now have many options! (woot woot!!)

SO START ORDERING!!
