Sugarlush Wedding Post No. 02

Vanilla cake, raspberry amaretto frosting & rainbow nonpareils.
Sprinkles are my ultimate weakness.

My second round of cupcakes for a wedding! Actually, a wedding reception. The couple was married in Hawaii over the summer and they just had a reception here this past weekend. A college friend showed her some of my pics on Facebook. See? All those fb photos aren't just for show! They're good for business! Anyway. The order started out being 5 dozen. Alright, no prob. Later, the girl called me back and changed it to 7 dozen. Eeek! But, luckily the cake flavors were just additions to what I was already making, with an additional frosting.

Total Tally:
• 84 cupcakes
• 2 dozen carrot cake, cream cheese frosting
• 2 dozen chocolate cake, salted caramel frosting (the most popular order)
• 1 dozen chocolate cake, citrus glaze
• 1 dozen vanilla cake, citrus glaze
• 1 dozen vanilla cake, raspberry amaretto frosting

WHEW! Thank goodness, with a little bit of prep work each day of the week, it's completely managable. Before boxing them up for pick-up, I did the usual living room photoshoot. And away we go!

So those are the cupcakes. They only look half as good as they taste, and they look pretty dang good, right? ;-) Sometime I'd like to venture out and do cute printed-paper toppers that could label the flavors &/or state the names of the couple. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to do that for this one but if you give me enough notice, it's certainly a possibility! It'd be perfect for baby showers too.

And with that, I bid you adieu so I can go clean the mess in my kitchen. WOO!! Fun Sunday! :-)

Valentine's Day Special!

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching so I'm hopping in on the action! This holiday is nothing but perfect for indulging in ooey gooey sugary goodies. You know what that means... CUPCAKES.

So for those of you in Columbus (or in Columbus this weekend), I will be offering a special deal of 6 cupcakes (that's a half dozen) for $10. Whether it's for you and some friends, you and your bf/gf/husband/wife, or just for yourself, it's the perfect amount.


I will be baking these two kinds:

• red velvet cupcakes, vanilla malt frosting

• chocolate cupcakes, raspberry amaretto frosting

They will be ready after 1 pm on Saturday, Feb 14. Depending on how many orders I get and where you are located, we'll discuss details about pick-up/delivery.

If you're interested in this sweet deal, let me know SOOOON! But the deadline is by Thursday evening at 6 pm. That's the cut-off.
