And now for the cause, I'd like you to meet Ava.....


"Ava Lue Hartman is an energetic and vibrant 3 year old who was diagnosed with Bilateral Wilms Tumor on January 11, 2011. ( Cancer on both kidneys.) She is currently undergoing her first round of chemotherapy in order to shrink the tumors enough to operate and remove the right kidney while trying to spare function of her left kidney. Ava has weekly chemo treatments, each Thursday, consisting of three medication to try and maximize their effectiveness while minimizing the time the tumors are left inside. She is a very strong spirit who has endured it all with a smile on her face and the reminder that we can't worry about the "small stuff" in life. She is our everything and our inspiration!"

Ava's mom is a good friend of mine and one of the sweetest people i know...and that is why from February 7th-14th 100% of our proceeds will be donated directly to them. So, not only are these delicious and cute they are for a great cause. Cancer is something we are all aware of, but something we never expect to happen to us or our children. I am hoping that enough people will support her cause (and stuff their face!) to lend them a helping hand.

To Order, contact us at cupeecakes@gmail.com. All Valentines orders must be in by Wednesday February 9th. Please Specify what day you would like them delivered, as I know some people will be celebrating over the weekend. If you would like to place an order for earlier in the week we need 24 hours notice.

Once all the orders are in, we will contact you to confirm your order, let you know the total and set up a time for delivery.

Katie and Tyrel

I had the pleasure of making a wedding cake and cupcake stand for a long time friend. I've known the family since i was in 5th grade and i was excited to do it. They had the reception at the art museum which is an amazing place but the lighting didn't lend itself well for photos (only because i forgot my tripod!! Gah!!).
We did manage to get a few good ones though.


I wish all the best for the happy couple! Congrats you guys!

Cupcakes!!

First off, some ornament cupcakes I made for a company Christmas party. I've got to invest in a better camera, the iphone just isn't cutting it anymore!







This is a new flavor, well not new, I just made some final tweaks to the recipe and finally got an end product I'm looking for! Its sweet potato with brown butter cream cheese frosting and candied pecans.
German Chocolate: Not a new recipe either just made some adjustments until i was happy with the final product. I have to say, these may end up being my favorite. I LOVE German chocolate and I experimented a little with the frosting and it was the best German Chocolate I had ever tasted. YUM!
