Saturday, March 29th, 2008For Easter I had nearly a dozen cakes to make and get out. Most of them were this cute little lamb for my husbands restaurant. They turned out pretty cute–but honestly, I’ve never frosted anything so easy. You bake the cake in a shaped pan—slather on frosting and shower him in coconut. [...]
The End Of An…Era??
Monday, March 24th, 2008Well, it’s over! Cupcake A Day that is! It actually only lasted 19 days, woo hoo! But with 12 cakes due on Saturday for Easter, and then Easter on Sunday…I missed two days of cupcakes! Yes, I’m sad, but I’m a little burned out. So I think we will stop [...]
Mom’s Derby Car!!
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008Tonight was the Pinewood Derby, so I only thought it would be appropriate to bring a car of my own! Mind you mine is 100% cake with Hostess Cupcake wheels–but still–good fun!
March 17th–Green Coins!!
Monday, March 17th, 2008For this the day of Leprechauns–a lucky “Gold” coin! So lucky in fact that it’s been turned green!
March 16th–Irish Coffee Cupcakes!!
Sunday, March 16th, 2008Yes, even a non-coffee drinker like myself can create this cute little cupcake treat–even if I won’t eat it! I was going to make these for dessert for the adults at our St. Patrick’s Day dinner tomorrow night–the kids will eat the bunny rabbit cake over at the home page. To create this [...]
The 3D Teddy Bear Pan!!
Sunday, March 16th, 2008I was surprised a few posts down when out of 16 votes, nobody voted for a shape pan. This little teddy bear pan happens to be one of my favorite cakes to make. In fact, my son wants this teddy bear in a hockey jersey for his next birthday cake. But I [...]
March 15th–Ides Of March!!
Saturday, March 15th, 2008Beware the Ides Of March! Did you know there was an actual lucky charm designed for this day? Well–I put the actual picture above–and my best interpretation below it! It’s not fabulous—but hey–they’re tassles!!
March 14th–Four Leaf Clover!!
Friday, March 14th, 2008For those of you who have never seen a 4 leaf clover–I thought I would make one for you! I have only ever seen 1 in real life and that was in Japan.
March 13th–World Kidney Day!!
Thursday, March 13th, 2008Do you remember when I first started Cupcake a Day I mentioned that some would be cool and others would be silly? Well, today is one of the silly ones. Today is World Kidney Day! Don’t believe me? Just follow that link and find out some fascinating things that take place [...]
March 12th–Carnation!!
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008A Happy St. Patrick’s Day carnation! I know–kind of odd, but hey–it’s the week before St. Patty’s so I thought I would devote each day to a different St. Pat’s theme. Following St. Patty’s Day, we’ll spend the week with Easter–and then we’ll be off on our own little tour of Cupcakedome! Yeah–it’s a little [...]
March 11th–Lucky Rainbow!!
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008I made the shamrock out of candy clay–but the rainbow itself is just hard candy cake decorators. So easy–but really pretty cute!
It’s About That Time!!
Sunday, March 9th, 2008Ok–March isn’t nearly over, but in order to be set to create April’s Cake of the Month–I thought I would put it to a vote. Most years I get March for St. Patrick’s Day and April for Easter. This year–I only get one month for both–which leaves April a month without a fun [...]
My Week In Cake!!
Sunday, March 9th, 2008Who knew at the start of this little adventure in blogging that I would actually get paid a little to do it! This (the week before Easter) is a HUGE one! I Have a total of 9 cake orders due next Saturday. 1 for a lamb, 1 for the Cake of the [...]
March 9th–Cheeseburger!!
Sunday, March 9th, 2008Well, this is the brain child of my 10 year old! It’s kind of fun when your kids get in on the act. My 8 year old is begging for his turn to make one all by himself. This, in case you couldn’t tell, is a cheeseburger with chips. Yes, we could have used [...]
March 8th–Robin’s Egg!!
Saturday, March 8th, 2008This is the easiest and probably the worst tasting cupcake of all time! I know–live and learn! Honestly–I saw the cute candy grass at Walmart today and then the cute little Robin’s egg (see—I’m Robyn—total tie in!!) The cute little Robin egg isn’t little at all–in fact, it’s bubble gum and [...]
