RED ROSES AND A BRIDAL SHOWER!

The bridal shower was themed with red, black and white..... Love was in the air as it reminded me of the romance on Valentines Day! My customer and her beautiful daughter came to pick up their order this morning and brought me a long stem red rose! I was deeply touched by the beauty of the rose and their gesture! (I took a picture of it here!) Thank you so much Diane and your beautiful daughter Allie! I hope your friend's bridal shower was just as lovely!
....and this is a photograph my my customer sent me after she displayed them on the that gorgeous cupcake tier! Isn't it beautiful! By the way Diane and Ally, I have the same gorgeous cupcake stand! Love it......

KSUCHA'S ADOPTION PARTY!

How special can a day get when there is a beautiful celebration for an adopted child entering into the arms of two loving and open hearted parents here in Orange County! This young girl has come all the way from Russia! I was so excited to be a part of this magical and exciting day for all of the 200 family and friends who wanted to welcome Ksucha into her new home. My neighbor Lisa and a group of her friends worked so hard to create the perfect party to remember. I wanted to go out of my way to support the cause. The party turned out to be a success and I hope to post pictures of the new loving family here very soon! Stay tuned!

And here she is!...... It looks to me like the day turned out to be very joyful and loving day!

I just couldn't wait to get these posted! Tomorrow I am going to finish up an order for a sweet customer of mine. These pretty little boxes that I designed will be filled with a Vanilla Bean cupcake and wrapped up with a pretty chartreuse bow when they are done. I just won't have time to take pictures that dang early in the morning so I took them before hand when the lighting was good. I will see what pictures come out tomorrow morning.....and if they are good I will be sure to add to this pretty little post!! (Yep!...thank god for Photoshop to correct color!)Darlene is the same customer who order the tuscany cupcakes and I want to be sure that I will impress her again the second time around! =)

TUSCANY AND CUPCAKES!





Tuscany and cupcakes were the theme for this wonderful little birthday brunch! Three birthday girls: Rebecca, Michelle and Cinthia were the honoree's for the occasion. I designed the labels and the name tags for the favors. I thought the lemon name tags were a nice touch! I hope the brunch and the day went well....and of course they loved the pretty lemon zing cupcakes!

GRAD PARTY '09!

I met this terrifc lady by the name of Heidi who's daughter Ericka was graduating from USC! They were having a Mexican themed party so I thought that flowers would be festive way of decorating the cupcakes! Flowers always look beautiful and can never fail to not disappoint you. Heidi, I must add, is a very talented jewelry designer and makes the most amazing silver jewelry. If you have time you must check out her etsy store..... "uno of a kind" . Her designs are elegant, modern and evoke a spiritualty and I think you will be intrigued as have I! One day I told her.... I will be shopping there!

AMANDA AND JUSTIN'S WEDDING DAY!






What a beautiful young couple that tied the knot this morning! Amanda and Justin couldn't have planned a better day to celebrate. For the weather turned out better than expected and the location in Anaheim Hills at the Golf Course and Club was ideal! I have to tell you that I adored the young couple when they came to see me back in September to have me create their wedding top tier cake and cupcakes for their guests. Amanda always kept me posted! So I couldn't wait to create something perfect for the couples happiest day.
Her sister in law graciously gave me stems of green dendrobiums to decorate. Debbie, whom is Amanda's sister in law, has a wonderful floral business named Flower's Etc. in Fountain Valley! It was Debbie who had recommended me to Amanda when we both had inadvertently catered to the Gilkey wedding last year. How exciting!!! Please check out her website because you will be impressed! I can't wait to show some of the wedding photos from the photographer.
Best wishes to you! I wish Amanda and Justin true happiness for their future together!

ANY NEW BABIES OUT THERE?


Don't you know of anyone who might be expecting a bundle of sweetness anytime soon? I just came in contact with Diane from Treasured Totes on Etsy and she makes the best bags out of my cupcake pattern that I have ever seen! She contacted me today to let me know that she created something new , a diaper bag, with the cupcake pattern ....and I just had to take a look! Isn't it cute!!! If nobody snatches it.... I will!!!!!

ANDIE DESIGNS PROJECT RUNWAY!




So I was walking into JoAnne's the other day.....and no joke.... I finally saw the fabrics I had designed for Project Runway! These are a few of the designs they have used on some fashionable accessories for all of you handy sewers! I will see if I can show you some of the other designs that I coordinated with the ones that you are viewing here in a seperate post. There is a blue and black 'dress form" Project Runway Tote that I snatched up while I was in there. I rememebered seeing the production for the multi orange/red and brown tote bag too. It's been last year since these patterns were completed...so it's hard keeping up! The multi red and orange Project Runway Tote is great because the pattern is twice the size from the blue version! I like seeing my work bigger.... Oh the vanity hehehee! Here is the best place on line to check out and buy the accessories for Project Runway. The other is Robert Kaufman's where you can see the entire line I created here!

SPRINGTIME BLOSSOMS AND EASTER!


Springtime is in the air.....and Easter Day is just around the corner. The menu on ditzie cakes is sure to delight many. I thought I would try my hand at the brownie pops for the first time. I can see why William Sonoma charges that much for the amount of labor that is involved. And no kidding when some of the bloggers admit to the ones that don't successfully come out from just being baked! A little frustrating for me when things don't go smoothly. Nor the chocolate coating that gets a good swirl and dunk! It will definitley take a good amount of practice to get it just right to my liking. Anyway, the Easter menue is now up on the ditzie cakes site so I hope that you will enjoy what I have prepared for you!

LUKE'S AMAZING BABY SHOWER!




I met this terrific lady by the name of Marilyn who wanted to host a baby shower for a friend of hers! Instructions by the expectant and her mother were advised to make something very simple with little fuss and relatively with no theme. Well luckily it didn't turn out that way!!!
When I walked into Marilyn's lovely home, the tables were decorated with linens that were layered with the colors of chocolate and celery. Chocolate napkins were tied with baby blue ribboned bows! Simply stunning. The center peice of each table was to be filled with a tower of cupcakes and below the tree lied adorable toy cars ,trucks, building blocks and each seating had a vanilla soy candle dressed in baby blue organza! Just delightful.... I took pictures with someone elses camera so I am hoping that she will send me them to me soon! I would love to add to this post to show you how it all came together.
I had so much fun with these decorations and I hope that the guests and the expectant mother enjoyed the thoughtfulness and great planning of the hostess too.... that's Marilyn! Hooray!
