Hermès Paris

2011-07-06T00:27:00.001-07:00

What my client really wanted was a cake in the shape of a Hermes handbag. It was for his sister's birthday...."My sister gives to the family a lot and I wanted to give her something that would show my appreciation." Regretfully, I could not find a cake artist available for the order.

He ended up requesting just plain cupcakes instead. Feeling inspired by his deep feelings for his sister, I decided to put together a very last minute Hermes Paris theme. His sister was pleasantly surprised. AND she loved the cupcakes. =)

It's A Hello Kitty Montage!!!

2011-06-27T23:03:00.000-07:00

Hello Kitty Cake! With A New Bow!

2011-05-24T20:59:00.001-07:00

I made a small adjustment to Hello Kitty's Bow. It's not entirely solid anymore and I think it adds a little more character to the whole design. Featured below is approximately 6 X 8 inches cake. Enjoy!

Domo CAKE!

2011-05-19T11:21:00.001-07:00

Kero-kero-keroppi!!!

2011-05-11T23:07:00.000-07:00

I got a text for a Keroppi cake order and decided at the last minute to make a full-body character, instead of just the face. My client was definitely happy. =) Thank you and ENJOY!

Angry Birds Cupcake Toppers!

2011-04-28T19:02:00.000-07:00

Sorry... no cupcakes today but I did get an order for Angry Birds cupcake toppers. These cute little guys are made with fondant and various edible sugar jimmies. Thank you Mimi for the order!

A Journey Together...

2011-04-20T08:13:00.000-07:00

I was contacted about a month ago to customize a set of cupcakes for a marriage proposal. Custom cupcakes in my definition is more than just clever decoration. It's about presentation. My client gave me free reigns on this project so ... I went nuts!

The cupcake box was made by altering a decorative wooden suitcase, adding accents of colors and framing photos. In order to set the cupcakes in place, I made cupcake wrappers to permanently attach at the bottom of the case, turning them into cupcake place holders. I kept the decoration of the cupcakes simple as to not take away from the over all message. I really loved working on this project. Thank you and enjoy the journey!

Domo Cake!!!!

2011-04-16T09:03:00.000-07:00

I know what you're thinking. He looks like a giant piece of SHhhh...eeer chocolate goodness. AND HE IS! This cake was made using Dark Chocolate fondant, taste something like a tootsie roll and a lot easier to work with than regular fondant. Anyways, this is for all the Domo fans out there. Enjoy!

Badtz Maru Cake!

Hap-penis cupcakes. BIG SMILE!

2011-03-27T20:57:00.000-07:00

I had to deliver these to a bachelorette party at a local restaurant.... awkward. Actually, I lied. Staring at a bunch of 1-inch girth penises was awkward. And just so you know... they're chocolate flavored.

That's twice this weekend! This is one popular cat!

Hello Kitty & Keroppi Cupcakes + Cake

2011-03-13T11:23:00.000-07:00

This was a custom order with Hello Kitty cupcake faces that was suppose to be stenciled on with cocoa powder...BUT... I'm a Hello Kitty nut so I decided to re-design the cupcake. I made a 2D version using Choco-Pan fondant. All the faces and bows for this set was hand cut using my own stencil. Was it time consuming? Yes. Did I sleep? No.

Ugly Dolls Cupcakes

2011-03-06T14:08:00.000-08:00

I've got to admit...it ISN'T easy making cupcakes look ugly.

Elmo Cupcakes

2011-03-01T23:03:00.001-08:00

These Elmo Cupcakes were made for Gerald back in November....(I told you, I was behind on my posts). Honestly, it's a little overwhelming looking at all these Elmo's staring back at me.

Hello Kitty Cupcake 3D

2011-03-01T22:18:00.000-08:00

I love this cupcake... I DO. But man, oh man... it was a long process. The dome is not just frosting or a block of fondant. I made the dome out of cake, then lightly frosted the dome, wrapped it in White-Chocolate fondant and finally, attached all the edible accessories. This is the only one of its kind made from it's brothers and sisters baked that day. (Sigh). I miss it.

Love Birds are a HOOT!

2011-03-01T18:11:00.000-08:00

CALL OF DUTY

2011-03-01T07:54:00.000-08:00

I had a really nice conversation with the gal that ordered these. We discovered that our boyfriends have something in common...except mine, no longer owns an XBOX. I win!

Who The Heck is MR. SNUFFLES???

2011-02-28T22:33:00.000-08:00

So, I received a request for a "Mr. Snuffles" cupcake. Great for business, not so good for me. I had no idea what or who is Mr. Snuffles or Snuffleupagus. Have I been living under a rock? Television deprived??? Luckily, there is the magic that is Google to help bring me up to speed. With the answers of the world at my fingertips... I began creating.

I present to you.... the Snuffle-cake.

ANGRY BIRDS

2011-02-28T09:52:00.001-08:00

A most addicting proposition these bird minions offer: "Destroy structures and obliterate odd green pigs?????"..... I'll meet you at the next Angry Birds Anonymous meeting.

HELLO KITTY CAKE!

2010-12-06T22:56:00.001-08:00

I normally don't make cakes... I'm a DIE HARD cupcakes for life only type of girl. BUT then I get this request! RIDICULOUS. I swear, this muted feline is about the only thing in the world that could provoke such a change of heart. I could not help myself. The cuteness was overwhelming.

Featured below is a Red Velvet cake with Cream Cheese frosting and wrapped up in fabulous Choco-Pan fondant.

Cookie Monsters!

2010-10-10T14:42:00.000-07:00

Remember Secret Agent Man? Well... he saw my mock ups for the Sesame Street characters and loved it! The dome shaped head was made by cutting out a piece of cupcake and adding it to the top. This way, you're not biting into 2 inches of frosting. =) See....I'm health conscious.

Thank you Secret Agent Man! Enjoy!

COOKIE MONSTER

BIG BIRD

Becoming Mrs. Ichikawa

2010-09-05T22:53:00.000-07:00

The No.1 hazard of a cupcaketeer is the on occasion emotional ride. We get whisked away in someone else's fairytale and we secretly get to claim a small part of their happiness as our own. Congratulations Lisa & Trevor!

Move Over Lady Gaga!

2010-08-31T20:06:00.001-07:00

It's Lady Tata!

Buzzing Blossoms

2010-08-29T08:07:00.001-07:00

During the event at the Broadway Bar, I met Vu, who so insistently offered me a drink in exchange for a cupcake order, which he also paid for that same night. Sure....he was a bit intoxicated but I'd say he made a pretty good business deal. =)

2 dozen mini Red Velvets with edible gum paste blossoms and edible bees. The bumble bees were made using yellow peanut M&M's. I melted and piped chocolate for the stripes and attached the almond chip wings using chocolate as well. Tedious work for your enjoyment. So...ENJOY!

HM SOUNDSYSTEMS Presents....

2010-08-23T22:39:00.000-07:00

ME!!!!!

Thank you so much! For all of those who do not know, HM Soundsystems has an event every Thursday at the Broadway Bar in downtown Los Angeles. If you happen to be in the area next time, stop by and check it out!

I brought about 100 mini cupcakes Thursday night and everything was devoured within an hour & half. Some people took more than they should. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. Shame on you.

Le Petit Prince

2010-08-18T23:06:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to Julie & Ricky! Proud parents to be! And thank you for letting me make your baby shower cupcakes. All joking aside, I really did enjoy making a million of those little blue crowns. It's what I do!

Julie & Ricky's baby shower theme was "Le Petit Prince". They had ordered 6 dozen mini cupcakes. I designed a blue crown made by piping melted chocolate & added star quins to the tips. ENJOY!

It's A Jungle Out There!

2010-08-18T22:02:00.000-07:00

Here is a set mini cupcakes with purple/yellow wise owls & monkeys. This order was for a graduation and going away party.....I think.

Cupcake Camp OC

2010-08-18T21:05:00.000-07:00

FINALLY! I have time to update my blog! Here are the photos from Cupcake Camp OC. Photos were provided by MK3 Photography. My entries for the contest was as follows:

1. Most Unique/Exotic flavor: "Le Nette" (Saffron Lychee w/Lychee buttercream frosting)
2. Most O.C.: "Little Hieuy's" AKA Coconut Mango Ginger
3. Most Childhood Memory: "Good Humors" aka Strawberry Shortcake

A special thanks to Jennee Vu, who made those wonderful fondant Saffron flowers for me! You are the best!!

"Le Nette" was so named after my friend who texted me everyday "Saffron Cupcakes". And at first it was a bit obnoxious but the recipe turned out to be so great that I'll probably "take it to my grave". "Little Hieuy's" was also named after a friend who's scrutinizing taste-buds made me strive for better. The "Good Humors" was something of my own. These cuppies were modeled after the Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake Ice cream bar. Taste just like it! Many people swear by it.

Although I did not win in any category, I walked away with several fans and new friends. Thanks everyone who showed up and supported me. I smiled so much that day. =)

Tiger Baby Shower Cupcakes!!

2010-08-18T19:51:00.000-07:00

Glee Cupcakes!!!!

2010-07-02T00:33:00.000-07:00

Every show deserves it's own cupcake design! These were specially ordered for a birthday(s). The theme decoration was inspired by flickr user "Bakebake52" and her Glee cupcake set. Instead of fondant, I used candy melts. I just find the taste more enjoyable with chocolate. YUM! =)

Lakers Cupcake!

2010-07-02T00:31:00.001-07:00

Made these for a last minute order. Sorry, I only had my camera phone. Still...it turned out pretty well. =)

Cherry Blossoms Cupcakes!

2010-06-29T00:06:00.000-07:00

Blushing and beautiful, just like the bride it was made for! Everything on the cupcake is edible. Branches were hand made using chocolate candy melts piped and cooled on parchment paper. The floral design was made using Wilton's Powerpuff Girls sprinkles and attached by a drop of center frosting. Japanese inspired cupcake toppers were also hand made, added for color and variety to complete the package. =)

I hope it was a wonderful bridal shower and thank you Thao for ordering!

Lakers vs Celtics! Game 7 BABY!

2010-06-18T01:33:00.000-07:00

Made these especially for the finale. Aren't they super cute? I love the little miniature hoops. My friend Amy totally detailed the logo. She's really artistic and if you want to check out some of her other work, visit... www.amyle.com.

Sorry about the photo...I only had my camera phone. =(

HOOT! HOOT!

2010-06-05T19:35:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to Thao & Nikki! In celebration of their graduation, they requested 50 "wise owl" cupcakes. I had the honor of joining our friends at their patio party in Huntington Beach. The night was warm, clear AND everyone was full of joy, smiles drawn from ear to ear. Thank you girls. We are all so proud!

The owls used for the cupcake toppers can be purchased at the etsy store MadeJustForYou. I commission 30 custom owls. The graduation caps were cut and added on later by myself.

Seeing Doubles??

2010-06-05T08:24:00.000-07:00

Skull Phone cupcakes! My friend Eddie called a few days ago to commission this cupcake for a skull phone contest. It was entered on Friday and he's still waiting to hear back. What's the prize? A really cool poster and some stickers!

The jaw of the skull was made by cutting half of a large marshmallow and then attaching it to the bottom of the cupcake. Then, the entire thing was frosted. Chocolate melts for the eyes, M&M's cut in half for nose and mouth. Cell phone was made using a miniature Hershey candy bar secured by toothpicks. And finally I cut extra pieces of cake and attached it using icing to create the skull's hand. Sure, it was a bit time consuming to make just this ONE cupcake but I had a lot of fun. =)

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

2010-05-23T23:33:00.001-07:00

Sponge-bob square pants! Sponge-bob square pants! Okay...you get it. Enjoy!

Naughty Bachelorette Cupcakes

2010-05-07T09:29:00.000-07:00

A really cute pink & black theme party guest starring Big Blue & Sultry Scarlett. Okay...so they're just really flexible & really busy stick figures. I toned it down a bit with some margarita & diamond ring cupcake toppers. They seem to fit nicely into the package. Flavors featured are B-B-Bananas (made with Malibu Banana Rum), Red Velvet & Strawberry Shortcake. ENJOY!

Bakugan Cupcakes

2010-05-06T07:55:00.000-07:00

Okay, I received an order for Bakugan cupcakes. For those who don't know what Bakugan is...neither do I. What I ended up doing was going to Target to purchase a "Scorpion" character as a cupcake topper. I had to ask for guidance from a 7 year old boy who happened to be shopping for Bakugan at the same time. =)

Winter Wedding Bliss

2010-05-05T06:48:00.000-07:00

It was more than a fairy tale, it was a dream come true. A gorgeous room filled with frosty winter silver and iridescent blue highlights glistening throughout. Thank you Nga & Eric for choosing Animated Cupcakes. 200 Red Velvets & 200 Hot Chocolate cupcakes were proudly displayed under a beautiful canopy stage. A special thanks to all that helped out the night before with pastry decorations. =)

The Golden Cupcake

2010-05-05T00:03:00.001-07:00

I made this Giant Cupcake Cake for my mother's 71st birthday. I thought it was appropriate to go with a "golden" theme. The cake is coconut flavored made with coconut milk and coconut flakes. The cake was cut in half and filled with ginger-mango glaze. The rest of the glaze was used on top with toasted coconut flakes and royal icing roses.

Princess Cupcake CAKE

2010-05-04T23:09:00.000-07:00

I made this using Wilton's Giant Cupcake Pan & Disney's Princess Castle Decoration. The decoration was meant for a square cake but after some alterations... it fit perfectly! You can't really tell that it's a Giant Cupcake but I like how it gave the cake a more cartoon-like look.

Red Velvet Cupcakes

2010-05-04T22:01:00.000-07:00

Moist & luscious. You won't be able to resist... like my roommate, who helped me out with photo #2. Thanks Linh.

A Very Belated Easter Post

2010-05-04T21:39:00.001-07:00

Sorry!!! This is a really belated post. I have been busy but hopefully in the next couple days I can finish bringing this blog up to date. Let's start with a cupcake I made for this past Easter. The detailed Velveteen-ish rabbit and cute little Easter eggs is made with royal icing. Grassy like surface is made with cream cheese frosting dipped in light green sanding sugar and then green jimmies were used to make the grass blades.

Royal icing rabbit & Easter eggs can be found at www.countrykitchenusa.com

Angels We Have Heard On High

2009-12-21T20:29:00.001-08:00

Cute, whimsical and full of holiday spirit. This Christmas set features a holiday reindeer and praying angel. Angels are known to guide and protect, as well as symbolize hope and goodness. I wish you all a safe holiday season. This will complete my Christmas 2009 cupcakes. I hope you've enjoyed it!

Decorations made with Royal Icing.

Oh Christmas Tree...

2009-12-21T19:46:00.000-08:00

Never owning a Christmas tree myself, I'm happy to have found these humble cupcake decorations. What I like most about this set is the simplicity in design. They aren't as extravagant and not nearly as detailed in colors as the others you may have seen on my blog, BUT they are delicious just the same and made with the same tender loving care. Have a Merry Christmas!

All decorations made from Royal Icing.

Meet Mr. Snow

2009-12-16T23:44:00.000-08:00

Mr. Snow lives in the magical land of Snowville, an all year round resort for all snow folks. In Snowville the sun never shines and the snow never ends. From the coal eyes to the carrot noses, big and small, ALL are welcome!

Unfortunately, I made this up and Mr. Snow will have to be eaten for Christmas. ENJOY!

Snowman Cupcakes!

2009-12-13T23:17:00.001-08:00

Continued in my series of Holiday cupcakes! Here are Snowman Cupcakes! This colorful and festive character is made of Royal Icing, carefully crafted for the Christmas season. This will definitely become an instant classic! ENJOY!

A Note To Santa

2009-12-11T01:05:00.000-08:00

Another Royal Icing design I found! 100% edible and absolutely gorgeous. He's one of my favorites. The other designs were definitely cute but maybe it's his curly hair, big red robe or cute round eyes? I just absolutely adore this Santa Clause. Too cute to eat!

I decided to add a few simple decorations to compliment this pretty color. Featured are MINI ice cream cone cupcakes. Grasshopper AKA Mint Chocolate flavored. ENJOY!

A Classic Elegance

2009-11-29T19:36:00.000-08:00

This design was also made for the 1920's themed birthday. For these cupcakes, my commissioner decided that roses are the best choice to reflect the elegance of the time. I think she is absolutely right! I decided to use pink royal icing roses because they tasted better than the gum paste roses. I added pearls to frame the palette and draw attention to the main decoration. The overall design is simple and effortlessly gorgeous.

Featured are White Chocolate cupcakes. ENJOY!

Hearts All Over The World...

2009-11-29T17:16:00.000-08:00

This design was created for a 1920's theme Birthday party. Color of choice is pink and black. Some of you may not know, but the 1920's were known as the "Roaring Twenties." It was the emphasis in culture, art and social dynamics that made it one of the most glamorous and beautiful decades. It's primary reputation was in North America but it also touched Paris, London and Berlin. This is why I decided to call this one... "Hearts all over the world."

Featured are Grasshopper (mint chocolate w/Oreo Cool Mint) cupcakes with light whipped mint frosting. Heart quins and edible pearls were individual hand placed. No detail spared for these cupcakes! Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Join the Mickey Mouse Club!

2009-11-19T23:46:00.000-08:00

These cute little cupcakes were crafted for a 3 year old's birthday. Frankly, I'm jealous. It must have been one FUN party! The cupcakes with the dome and cookie ears are Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting & Oreo cookie crumbs. Extra cake was cut to make the dome so it wasn't overloaded with frosting. And the other flavor is Oreo Surprise! One whole Oreo cookie baked right in the middle. The Mickey Mouse design was made with chocolate candies. Yummy! ENJOY!

Fang-tastic!

Little Hieuy's!

2009-10-22T00:33:00.000-07:00

So named for my friend Hieu who loves this "rarely loved" combination of flavors. The cake is made with homemade ground almonds, similar to almond meal. The almonds are baked right in, practically evaporating into the cake, leaving no traces but it's luscious moisture and fragrant aroma. Freshly cut mango is added into the cupcake for a more naturally sweetened taste. Glazed on top is a mixture of mango puree with fresh ginger and to top everything off is a mound of toasted coconut sprinkled with powder sugar. Enjoy!

Strawberry Shortcake!

2009-10-19T22:36:00.000-07:00

As of recent, Genki Living has picked up this flavor as a "regular" in the store. So far, I've kept the cupcake's special characteristic and origin a mystery. The inspiration for these cupcakes were drawn from a Good Humor Ice Cream Bar. A wonderful strawberry shortcake flavor I've often enjoyed.

This cupcake is made of a vevelty almond flavored cake derived from my own Red Velvet recipe. The strawberry cream filling is made with real strawberries and heavy cream. No artificial flavoring. The whole cupcake is then topped with cream cheese frosting and dipped into strawberry shortcake cookie crumbs. MMmmmm...

No, it's not an ice cream bar but it does taste just like it, if it was a cupcake. =)

Access DENIED!!!

2009-10-18T22:47:00.000-07:00

Hi fellow cupcake lovers! I recently brought some homemade cupcakes to 3hundred in Anaheim, CA, for a friend's birthday party and was informed that there would be a $25 fee for outside food! For a party of 30 friends, taking up 4 bowling lanes and boozing it up, the venue could not comp us the fee. How horrible. The owners of this place must not have friends who care enough to personally make anything for them. I think this is a case of misplaced resentment. I emailed Erin & Theron, the respective sales and district managers my sympathies. I'm still waiting for a response. Unfortunately, I had to take my cupcakes elsewhere.... =(

Featured below or OREO Surprise! Vanilla cupcakes with one whole Oreo cookie baked right in! Topped with Cream Cheese frosting & Oreo cookie crumbs. ENJOY!

Are your spidey sense tingling???
