Hope you had a GREAT 4th!

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July! We spent the afternoon visiting friends up in LA. The guys BBQed while my friend Elizabeth and I chatted and I colored with Emory, their 2 1/2 yr old daughter. We thought we were going to miss out on the fireworks because we started to head home right around 9p but instead we saw the most amazing displays as we drove down the 5. We saw so many fireworks going off all around from parks and people's backyards. Some were going off right above the freeway and right in front of us. We even joked that maybe we should do this every year.

I wanted to congratulate Julie and Alyssa with winning the giveaways hosted by AngryJulieMonday and The Mom Blog on the OC Register! I hope you both enjoyed your cupcakes and that your guests enjoyed them as well!

Here are a few pics of the cupcakes that I made for the 4th:







One half of the year is already over. Can you believe it?!?

Cupcake Kabob Tutorial - Guest Post on the OC Register

So the lovely Suz Broughton asked if I'd do a guest post on her blog on the OC Register. I was planning to do one for Fathers Day but time ran away from me so instead I did one for the 4th of July. In my post, which you can read here, I give a tutorial on how to make cupcake kabobs. These ones are specifically for the 4th of July but really you could customize them for any event.



Better yet, you can even leave a comment and be entered to win a dozen cupcakes from me! Woo hoo! You have to be in Orange County though, or be willing to get to Orange County to pick them up.

So what are you doing still reading this?? Head over to the OC Register and check out my post! Scoot, scoot!

Happy Fathers Day!

So this post comes a day late. Didn't get very many cupcakes orders for Fathers Day. Maybe it's not a cupcake kinda holiday. Still figuring out stuff like that. Anyway, I wanted to share this order I got from Kirsten Wright from WrightCreativity.com (@kirstenwright). Two dozen mini cupcakes decorated in Happy Fathers Day!



Hope everyone had a great Fathers Day!

Everybodys workin for the weekend...

.... except me! Seems like I am working for a working weekend lately.

Busy bee weekend. Had a custom order for baby shower cupcakes, a delivery for a birthday party at The Little Gym in San Clemente and my dad's 55th birthday down in San Diego (we ate at Gulf Coast Grille - HIGHLY recommend it). THAT was just Saturday! Then on Sunday, the most ever awesome KARI from Retro Bakery and her fam came to OC for a visit and to try my cupcakes at Bliss. And they brought me cupcakes!! It was sooo great to see her, Brian and adorable Lucy and Abbi. It's like everytime I see them I feel like I've known them forever. We are all just comfortable. My husband entertained Lucy by making silly faces at her and Abbi told me about their adventure checking into their hotel. It was a great visit but too short. But I will be visiting Retro in October when Fields of Cake will be there too!

Cupcakes for my dad

(those are beer candles and fondant helicopters on top of Coconutty cupcakes)

Meeting with a bride & groom tomorrow for a tasting and to talk about their upcoming wedding. I am also thinking about participating in a Bridal event on July 25 in Yorba Linda. I've never done something like this so I'm not sure what to expect.

Also FYI - I will be unavailable for cupcakes between July 26 and August 3 as I will be out of town (in San Diego) for work, my 9-5 job. Sucks doesn't it?

That's all for now!
