Cupcakes for Mr. and Mrs. Misener!

On June 18, 2011 two great friends of mine tied the knot in Fredericton, NB. I was honoured to have Jason and Lindsay ask me to make their wedding cupcakes, as Janna Banana has never done cupcakes on such a grand scale before! The wedding was perfect, and the bride and groom looked amazing. Couldn't be happier for them. Congrats Jason and Lindsay!

Over approximately 18 hours, I managed to squeeze out 250 cupcakes, and one wedding cake topper. It was obviously a lot of work, but I had lots of help from my lovely family. It was also a blast, I can't wait to do it again!

A very special thank you to my family who fed and watered me in the final hour, and who let me boss them around in the assembly line, not to mention help with the intense clean up! You were perfect little elves, and I couldn't have done it without you!

First batch of vanilla-bean cupcakes. About 200 to go.

Getting there..

Slaving away.

Two out of five boxes of deliciousness.

Ta-da! The finished product.

They were a hit!

Sunshine and Cupcake-pops!

... and rainbow sprinkles!

Summer is finally here, and to celebrate bikini season I fashioned these colourful vanilla buttercream cake-pops. (My beach-bod secret: dish these badboys out to all my skinny friends - the juxtaposition may work in my favour, giving me the appearance of being svelte)



I also needed to show off my brand-spanking new business cards, thanks to my talented buddy Ryan Stever! Whom I still owe cupcakes and beer to - a winning combination, I'll have you know!

It's Peanut-butter Jelly time!!!!!!!!

A new twist on the old classic - when I was a wee lass I was a pretty picky eater. I wanted a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich every day for lunch. That was clearly way back when, before peanut-butter was banned from being within 500 meters of elementary schools (something the spread and I have in common...)

I got these cute robot cupcake liners whilst visiting London, and tried out this brand-new recipe!


Cupcake eating party!






3 girls, 1 cupcake!

Lolli-cakes for Jeanie!

This past week was my mother's birthday. She lives in New Brunswick, and on most of her birthdays I usually drop the ball and either send her a card one or two months late, or give her a very belated present whenever I see her next - which is often May or June.


This year I decided to shock her and actually do something NICE!


I slaved in the kitchen and made these cute little cupcake pops, wrapped them up real purdy, and Fed-Exed them overnight to Fredericton!

Aw!

Contact me to inquire about getting your own Lolli-cakes shipped to you.

A very lazy Monday spent on my couch - with cupcakes!

With the endless parties that December brings, I find myself, and most of the city, in Holiday Hangover mode. This, plus the bitter Toronto cold are what results in me attempting to take a small hiatus from an overly active social life, and try to become somewhat of a recluse for the duration of January (albeit, this past weekend I definitely failed at that).

After an intense Saturday night out with the girls, I find myself very lazy on this cold Monday evening. I don't want to cook, or clean, or do any of the other of the million things I ought to be doing. Instead, I want to curl up on my couch with some South Park DVDs and a TV dinner of the cupcake variety.


(Concept via Hello, Cupcake!) If you think the brownie is the worst part, it's because Stef made it (Just kidding, it's delightful!).

Hello, 2011!

I hope everyone wrapped up 2010 successfully - surrounded by lots of family, friends and good food.

May 2011 bring you everything that 2010 didn't - and I hope that includes plenty of cupcakes! I have lots of great cupcake ideas for this year, don't forget to write/call/tweet/pigeon courier me if you want in on some of this sweetness!

Creepycakes

Here are some tasty raspberry-vanilla cupcakes I made in honour of Halloween as well as in honour of Jamie- who abandoned ship at my work and is now on his way to Alberta. You'll be missed, Jamie!!




These cupcakes made me 45 minutes late for work, so we had a very unprofessional photo-shoot.. What of it!
