Ballet sweetheart

A little girl turned 8, and Toot Sweet Cupcakes was lucky enough to create a birthday cake that she actually ate.

We created a chocolate cake with milk chocolate buttercream. We covered the cake with a green vanilla fondant pillow that we dusted with pearl dust to give it a shimmer. We then topped the cake hand moulded pink tutu and ballet slippers.

J's mom text messaged me on Sunday after the party and said that the cake was hit and that J, for the first time in a long time, actually ate her birthday cake. Melt my heart. Happy 8th Birthday J.

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.
