Cinderella likes Cupcakes

I was contacted by The Cinderella Project a few weeks ago, asking for a donation of cupcakes for an event they were having.

After a quick peruse around their website, I was more than happy to donate

The Metro St. Louis Cinderella Project is an event sponsored by the Community Council of St. Charles County. Promoting confidence and self esteem in junior and senior high school women, we provide the gift of a prom dress to young women in the metropolitan area who are unable to acquire one on their own. The young women are referred to the Community Council by high school counselors. Over 40 high schools in the metro area are invited to refer girls to the project in 2011!

I delivered 100 Red Velvet Cupcakes, Topped with Cream Cheese Buttercream (new recipe). Oh, and the cupcakes had chocolate chips inside and a strawberry and drizzled chocolate on top – YUM!

The Princess and the Monkey

Once upon a time,

there was a little Princess named Aislynn, and she was turning 1.

The Queen Mum wanted a Princess Baby Monkey Cake. Princess Aislynn agreed.

The Queen Mum contacted a local baker, we hear she is the best in town And she was more than happy to oblige!

The baker and her Sidekick sketched, baked, sculpted and decorated the best cake yet!

Delivery went off without a hitch and Princess Aislynn and her royal family enjoyed the cake very much.

Until the baker returned back to her kitchen and realized she had made a mistake – OH NOES!!

She contacted the Queen Mum to apologize – thankfully the Queen Mum said all was fine. But, the baker, being the best in town offered a up a lovely gift (to be revealed later) as an edible apology.

Queen Mum, King Father, Princess Aislynn and her Princely Brother and Princessly Sister were full and happy and lived CAKE-ILY EVER AFTER.

the end.

Noah and the Lion

Share|

About a month ago, I delivered a cake to a little boy named Noah.

Now, I’m aware of the Biblical Noah – all that water!!!

But on this day, sweet, adorable baby Noah’s 1st birthday cake had to be delivered on a morning when it had “suddenly” snowed 6″ overnight! Snow!!! This Noah, I suppose, prefers snow

*heart pounding*

Sidekick had to work his “real” job ~~~~~ and I had no one else to help me deliver this cake.

I shook with anxiety because I still remember ~all too well~ the CAKETASTROPHE OF 2010!

On the drive to deliver Baby Sofie’s 1st birthday cake, it slid into the car door, smashing the fondant and buttercream “bubbles”. In a panic, I drove back home and fixed it the best I could with seizure-like shaky hands. I made Sidekick come help and he was late for a side job – and the cake was late too!!

Sofie’s parents were more than gracious….. but still!

That day is burned into my memory.

Waking up to deliver Noah’s cake. I. WAS. SCARED.

Good news, I made it. Mediocre news – I drove 30 miles an hour on the highway for an hour ~~ I had my flashing lights on, don’t judge.

Noah was adorable! <3 I love 1st Birthdays!<3

With mom’s permission, here is sweet baby and cake ~~~~~ Mom also has a blog where she blogged about his party
