Paul Frank Cupcakes

These adorable Paul Frank cupcakes were for my girlfriend's neice, Ryanne.  It was my first fondant cupcake order and I can't believe how well they turned out.  I searched the internet for ideas and finally came up with this.  The cupcakes were a double chocolate chip and a whipped cream frosting.  :)  

Hello Kitty Cake Pops

I made these Hello Kitty Cake Pops as favors for my daughter, Kylie's 5th birthday party in December.  It took me about 6 hours for around 55 red velvet and oreo cake pops.  There was a lot of detail involved. Baking, molding, chilling, dipping, and decorating. SIGH. I was able to find the rainbow sprinkles, heart shaped sprinkles, and red circles at Sugar and Spice in Daly City.  I am a frequent shopper there; I make purchases every week!  Good for them, bad for my bank account.  LOL.  The pictures are a bit pixelated because they were taken with my Blackberry.  As soon as I upload the party pics from my camera, I'll post them on here.  :) You can find instructions on how to make your own Hello Kitty cake pops at Bakerella's site.  Enjoy!  

Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Update

Thank you to all of those who came to support our fundraiser event at Bliss Bar!  We got the place packed by 10pm and for all of you who have been there, its pretty small.  We had drink specials for Effen Vodka and my yummy cupcake pops.  :)  The Effen Vodka and cupcake pop sales went directly to the fund and we collected almost $2,000 by the end of the night.  A special shout out to Scott, Chris, Anuj, and Peter who came by to support me.  :)  

P.S .  I was able to market my cupcake pops at the event so hopefully this will get the ball rolling for more orders.  Yay! 

Happy St. Patty's Day

What a better way to share the good ol' luck of the Irish with green and white cake pops?  My name twin placed an order of green and white cake pops for her office.  Here are some pics from my phone.  I'm still learning how to use my camera so until I get more savvy with it, these blackberry pics will have to do.  Half are coated with white with a green vanilla drizzle and the other half are coated with green with a white drizzle.  :)

Birthdays Galore

I had quite a busy weekend:  2 orders, 2 birthday parties, and worked both jobs on Friday. Boy, am I EXHAUSTED. The Yo Gabba Gabba themed color cake pops were for Lil Mikey's 2nd Birthday and the second order was for Isabella's 1st birthday due on Sunday.  I've had a bunch of orders almost every weekend which keeps me busy, busy busy!  I love it though and can't complain.  :)  

Here are pics of the cake pops for Lil Mikey's Birthday.  They were a huge hit! 

The 75 brown and pink cupcake pops were for Isabella's 1st Birthday.  It was a cherry blossom themed party and the cupcake pops complimented the theme perfectly!  I was able to find a cherry blossom template for the tags so it saved me some time on designing them myself and the buckets were from Target.  (It's the happiest place on Earth for me second to Disneyland! LOL) I'll post more pics of the pops at the party as soon as I receive them.  Thanks again Elaine for the order! 

Save the Date! May 14th, 2011

Calling all bakers!  The 2nd annual SF Bay Area Blogger Bake Sale will be held on May 14th, 2011 at 18 reasons (3674 18th Street in SF).  My co-worker Carla sent me an email a few weeks ago and I can't tell you how excited I am.  All proceeds from various bake sales across the US will help childhood hunger.  Here is the link for all you foodies out there.  What better way to raise money by making homemade treats and baked goods?   I'm not sure what to bake yet, but I'm thinking about lemon bars (very easy to package and easy to make), cookies and cream cookies, and maybe cake pops?  What would YOU want me to make for this bake sale?
