Welcome Baby!

I've been very fortunate to meet a lot of great moms through Momstown, one such mama just delivered a beautiful baby girl. To congratulate Mama T, Toot Sweet Cupcakes delivered Chai Tea Latte cupcakes with brown sugar cream cheese icing one day after baby Q was born.

This week, Mama T, is having a meet Baby Q party and asked Toot Sweet Cupcakes to create a cake for the occasion. She asked for the Chai cake with the brown sugar cream cheese icing. Mama T, told us that her husband really enjoyed the icing and told her to learn how to make it. We think Mama T has her hands full with four sweet little girls and we we'll take cake of the icing.

Summer patio drinks

I love summer patio drinks. Well, let's be honest, I love tropical beach umbrella vacation drinks. I got a call from a B asking if I could develop a tropical mickey cupcake for her future sister-in-laws bridal shower. YES!

Tropical themed cupcakes came swirling through my head faster than the buttercream could be piped. We created a Strawberry lime Margarita cupcakes - they were delish.

We started out with a lime tequila based cake, yes, we said TEQUILA, once the cake was cooled, we added more tequila. We then topped the cakes with a delectable fresh strawberry and lime zest buttercream. They were YUMMY!

Sandcastles and one year olds

On July 23rd, Toot Sweet Cupcakes celebreated a very special little boys birthday. It was especially sweet because C and the Lil' Cupcake are such good friends. C's mom and I were both on maternity leave at the same time and spent many a days with playdates, strolls through the mall with our matching strollers and diaper bags, and just hanging out.

Mr. C's mom asked me to create a sand castle cake with vanilla cake, bavarian cream filling and covered in fondant. To make it a bit more special, we added some chocolate seashells, which Mr. C immediately grabbed off and ate - before he even blew out his candle.

Happy Birthday Little Dude C, I hope you had a very happy birthday. To see pictures of Mr. C's cake smash check out the lovely Taryn Laine Photography.

E`s birthday

Our little safari lion is sure getting a lot of attention lately. This week we were asked to do little E`s first birthday, and the lion was asked to make an appearence again. He sure is popular.

E`s mom contacted me about the 1st birthday special, she wanted the lion, a blue cake with white icing and 18 vanilla and 18 chocolate cupcakes. Woot woot. For E`s smash cake, cause really that is what they do with their first birthday cake, we made a vanilla cake filled with strawberry preserve and fresh strawberries all iced in a fluffy blue vanilla buttercream. Toot Sweet Cupcakes is also a bit taken with the bunting flags and has started to add them to the cakes. They just look so cute and we think they add to the cake.

As part of the birthday special, a 6 in. smash cake, you recieve one dozen cupcakes, flavour of your choice, you can also add extra dozens for $15. We created 3 dozen vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with blue and white swirls of buttercream. A feast fit for the king of the jungle.

Happy 1st birthday E, I hope you had a great day sharing it with family and friends.
