thankful + cupcakes

Posted on November 29, 2011 by thebakingcup

happy thanksgiving!

even though it was last week, seems like it’s thanksgiving everyday at my house. why you ask? well, i’ve been eating leftovers since last thursday! i’m actually thanksgiving-out, haha.

seriously, how much food can one eat at a given seating? whew. i always say i won’t over do it but, there i am, laying on the couch, about to die of the calorie intake i just had ~~mistakenly~~ consumed.

it was incredibly nice in fargo. so nice, that after laying on the couch, i decided to go for a 40 min walk around my neighborhood. afterwards, i watched stupid, crazy love with steve carrell and julianne moore. which i highly recommend :)

speaking of nice weather, here are some cupcakes i made not too long ago. flavors include: s’mores, nutella filled coconut, confetti, cookies n cream, chocolate peanut butter and strawberry. they are all amazing flavors. i can’t decide which is my favorite.

what’s your favorite flavor that you enjoy year-round? leave me a comment so next time i can post about it. you’ll never know ;)

wedding!

Posted on November 10, 2011 by thebakingcup

i’ve been looking forward to this post for a loooong time. if you like weddings, then you are going to love this :)

my dear friend amanda doesn’t like cake. and let me just say that this is more common than you think. i often stumble upon people making requests for pies, cookies, brownies or cheesecake. but not cake. strange, isn’t it?

i was not only honored but stoked when amanda asked me to bake for her wedding! she is so much fun and super laid back. love her.

she wanted mini cheesecakes {only} at first but changed her mind and asked me to bake additional chocolate peanut butter cupcakes & lemon cream cheese cupcakes. she has great taste because i looove the flavors and sweets she picked out. don’t you agree?

we had several meetings {more like dinner parties} and talked about color scheme, frosting shapes, flavors and all things wedding.

throughout the process amanda was super easy going and amazing to work with! ty. her now husband. was sooo nice also. oh, and he eats and loves cake.

what an awesome bride & groom. they are beautiful inside out! so happy to call them my friends ;)

the wedding was amazing filled with pretty details. it was held in lake country minnesota where pretty scenery is always present. add that to a beautiful couple and you get awesomeness! i wish ty and amanda all the love in the world for their marriage.

xoxo!

it happens that after you are done with high school you get to celebrate with a party. and what a better way than with great food and exquisite desserts.

here are some of the cupcakes i got to bake for a few high school graduation parties in 2011.

you know when you are surrounded by say: babies, brides, teachers, coworkers, sweets {me!} or some sort of subject all day, every day and need a break?

well, i don’t. hence the “me” right next to sweets above.

see. i’m constantly thinking about baking, sweets and desserts. new flavors, new baking gadgets, new {custom} recipes. new this. new that.

it never ends. and i love it that way!

here are some of the baking cup latest creations. enjoy.
