Busy Busy December Weekend!

This past weekend was quite busy! We had several orders, ranging from children's birthday parties to a sampling for a holiday party. I had long nights & early mornings but let me tell you, it was all certainly worth it! My top two favorite orders were both for birthday celebrations.

The first, was for twin girls that I have been babysitting for the past 2 years. Addison & Mya turned 3, and they had a carnival themed birthday party! The weather was great, the decorations and games fit the theme perfectly, and my cupcakes turned out amazing! Unfortunately, I was unable to stay for the blowing out of the cupcakes but was told they were thoroughly enjoyed! Exactly what I wanted to hear!!

That same day I had an order for another children's birthday party. The birthday was for Alex, a little boy I care for weekly. He turned 4, and had a sports themed birthday! I made a 6" round vanilla cake with chocolate fudge frosting & decked it out with stars & different sports balls made from fondant. I also made Burgundy Velvet cupcakes & Vanilla cupcakes with chocolate fudge frosting. Sooo yummy! I think they turned out pretty great & Alex seemed thrilled with his cake!

On Monday, I also had an order for birthday cupcakes, but this time for a half-dozen Jumbo. The client had ordered chocolate with a vanilla buttercream, so simple yet so delicious! I customized a couple of the cupcakes for two separate birthdays, and I thought they turned out great! Although, the imprint design on the white fondant is not as apparant with the "85 Ray" covering it. Definitely will keep that in mind for next time;)
