January Birthday's Continued...

I promised there was more coming! Here we go...

First up are cupcakes that Jeff's grandmother had me make for her good friend's birthday. It was going to be quite a crowd, so a couple batches were in order. I made a lemon cupcake, filled with blueberry cream, and topped with lemon icing. I was trying to channel our wedding cake! I was on my own for the photo of this one, so please excuse the photography...



This was also when I first made the peanut butter cupcakes, and now I can't stop making them. For this batch, I used melted Hershey kisses for the frosting flavor...yum!



Rounding up the January birthday's was Trey's 1st birthday! For this occasion, I made the peanut butter cupcakes again, and also red velvet cupcakes. The vintage themed decorations are from Etsy.









And one last thing...my very own stickers and pink boxes!

Happy Valentines Day

I know it's been a while since I have last posted, but don't worry, I've been busy! This past month has been filled with so many wonderful things, from Trey's first birthday to my good friend's wedding. I have lots and lots to post, but unfortunately most of the pictures are on Jeff's computer. I happen to be sitting at a Panera in Waltham killing time before a meeting.

So, here is a quick post of Jeff's Valentine's day present. I first made these peanut butter cupcakes about a month ago when Jeff's Gram asked me to bake for her friend's birthday. They were a huge hit, and are now one of my staples. The cupcake recipe itself is from my trusty Primrose Bakery book, and the frosting I made myself using a Swiss meringue base.

These also mark a special occasion, as it is my first try with fondant! My hands are still red....
