sweet dear john

do you know "dear john" - if not jump over to lindsey regan thorne be pretty to meet this dear friend. a while back john had joked about me making his birthday cake with a golf, beach and surfing theme. i took note and quickly knew what i wanted to do - lindsey then followed up to see if it was possible for me to make his big birthday night cake - of course i was thrilled to get started on this fun project!

splashin into the 4th

i recently received a request from bergen to make blue whale themed 4th of july cupcakes, i loved the idea and was excited to get started. i stayed true to the red, white and blue and was really happy with how they turned out. cupcakes are such a fun and festive way to decorate even a family and friends gathering.

happy 4th of july!

i hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of july!

and to celebrate, here are my minis with red, white and blue

concept to cake

i was so excited when lizzy asked me to make her cupcakes and cake for her daughter's 1st birthday! she didn't have a specific theme in mind, but anelise (birthday girl) loves giraffes, butterflies and flowers. since i love all those things too i wanted to included each one! it didn't take long for me to sketch out an idea for lizzy's final approval - see below.

and here is how they turned out!

the doc will see you now

here are some cupcakes i did for one of my dear friends lindsey. she thought it would be fun to bring in some cupcakes to her doc's office - which i thought was a terrific idea and fun opportunity for me to try something new.

it is always so nice to appreciate people, so just let me know if you want to send a sweet thank you!
