I made these lemon cupcakes last week, before Easter. It felt like the perfect time for a lemon dessert... These are lemon cupcakes, filled with a rich lemon curd, and topped with cream cheese frosting. Hello delicious! I would say you definitely have to be a lemon lover for these cupcakes, but the cake alone is perfect for anybody (even my husband who isn't a huge fan of lemon). The cake is a vanilla cake with a hint of lemon, but the lemon curd pushes it over the delicious lemon edge. Amazing!

Princess Birthday Party
This week I made cupcakes for a two year old's birthday party. Her sweet older sister insisted that she have a princess party, (Love love LOVE little girls!) so that is what she had. I made a batch of spice cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes, and topped both with cream cheese frosting. So delicious!
To top that off, I made the girliest princess cupcake toppers possible. :) The family loved the cupcakes and the sweet 2 year old looked like she had a great birthday party. What more could you ask for?

A Pokemon 9th Birthday!
A cute little 9 year old celebrated his birthday Pokemon style, and I got to make his cake! He had a very specific image in mind for his cake, and even how his figurines were arranged on the top of the cake... You have to love a boy who knows what he wants! ;)
So I made the cake as best to his specifications as I could and thankfully, he loved it. I made a triple chocolate chip 8 inch round cake, fondant covered with fondant decorations, and a dozen vanilla cupcakes. The cupcakes were Pokeballs (I don't actually know what they are, but they are obviously a very big part of Pokemon. lol). The cake was Pokemon themed and had his favorite figurines on top of the cake.

Delicious Mounds/Almond Joy Cupcakes
These cupcakes are definitely at the top of my favorite list! These cupcakes are modeled after an Almond Joy bar, but without the almonds so they are a cross between an Almond Joy and a Mounds bar. They are amazingly delicious.
I made chocolate cupcakes, filled them with a coconut cream filling and dipped them, not once but TWICE, in chocolate ganache. My mouth is watering just thinking about them... And the pictures don't even do them justice. :)
