Orders just keep rolling in.....

I would like to thank everyone that I have made cupcakes for!  I love making cupcakes for my family & friends.  This week I made cute little vanilla cupcakes with sprinkles in the batter like "Funfetti" cupcakes with purple buttercream icing & little yellow fondant flowers for my daughter's 24th birthday.  I can't believe she chose such a simple design but they were adorable.  I am also making vanilla cupcakes for a friend's 50th birthday party.  She owns a cleaning business & the cupcakes have little fondant cleaning supplies & 50's on them!  They are so very cute!  I can't wait to put them together so I can post the pictures.  I'm sure everyone will love them as much as I do :)

Trentonian Newspaper Best of 2011 Winner

Holy Cow!  Guess who won the Trentonian Best of 2011 for Wedding (cup)cakes?  YUP Kupkakes by Kimmie!!!!!!!!! I am blown away by all the support & would like to thank everyone that voted! :)  I just love making cupcakes for my family & friends!  A special thank you goes out to Cathy Sherbik & Maria Bullaro, without their wedding this would not have been possible.

Oven & modem bit the dust

Well it has been quite awhile since I've been on my blog!  It has been a hairy few weeks.  First my oven died, not just sick....but completely dead!  Not a good thing for a cupcake baker LOL.  Then we had the most horrible thunder storm & lightening hit the transformer box across the street & the entire neighborhood lost power for about 15 hours.  When the power finally went back on I found out my modem had been fried.  So no computer for days until the new one arrived. And no cupcakes until the new oven arrived but everything is fine now & I can start making cupcakes for everyone again :)  While I was unable to bake I did do some fondant work on some upcoming orders so when those orders get picked up, I will display some more pictures.   Always remember...MAYBE A CUPCAKE WILL HELP :)

Countdown to my first wedding!

Starting this Thursday night I will be starting to make 150 rainbow cupcakes for a wedding on Saturday :) I enlisted some help from my Mother-in-law & my brother-in-law's girl friend to help.  I have to make 5 different colors of batter & put 1 tablespoon of each colored batter into the cupcake liners to achieve the rainbow effect of each cupcake!  Then I have to ice 29 cupcakes each in red, orange, yellow, green & blue icing & 6 plain white ones for people that are allergic to dye!  Holy cow this will be quite a feat :)  Then each cupcake gets a little ribbon on it.  Then Saturday I will deliver the cupcakes & set them up & since I am friends with the customer I get to be a guest at the wedding too!  I cannot wait to take pictures of the display. Holy rainbow the pictures are going to be awesome!!!!!!

Graduation

Well today I have 4 dozen cupcakes to make!  Then I am done until the weekend after 4th of July.  Unfortunately I cannot take on any more until after July 9th because I have a wedding with 150 cupcakes to make...OMG!  The biggest order yet :)  But back to today, there is a double graduation party with a graduate from the University of Scranton & a graduate from Notre Dame High School.  Congratulations to the girls & to the parents hang in there you are almost done LOL just 4 more years & you'll be done with tuition!  The Scranton cupcakes are chocolate w/ purple icing & a purple & white S, purple & white Congrats Grad & Purple Class of 2011.  The Notre Dame Cupcakes are vanilla with blue icing, a light blue or white shamrock with ND, Congrats Grad & light blue Class of 2011.  I certainly hope the girls enjoy their cupcakes as much as I enjoyed making them.  Good luck to both girls, I'm sure your future holds nothing but the best for both of you :)

60 Beach Babies for tomorrow!

Holy Moley there will be a sea of babies in pink inner tubes going out tomorrow!  They took forever to make BUT are just as cute as can be!  Plain vanilla cupcake with vanilla icing topped with sand (finely crushed nilla wafers) with an itty bitty baby girl in an inner tube wearing swimmies with a flower on her bald little head.  They will certainly make you smile when I post the pictures tomorrow :) :)
