Star Spangle Deelite!

Since our write up about our M1NT cupcake tower, our star spangle themed cakes and cupcake towers have been a huge hit. So I thought I'd share some other designs we have done with the same star spangle pizzaz.

Here is a Ratatouille topper cake we did for a 60th birthday party. The champagne and Ratatouille were all hand sculpted with fondant. The cake was accompanied with lil diva cupcakes in Vanilla & Choco cupcakes with alternating Buttercream.

For a true Aussie fan, we topped this cake with a variety of beverages and of coarse a true Aussie Fosters beer. We matched our cake with the same colors as the Australian flag.

Getting into Christmas Spirit!!!!

I know I know its been a while, but I have a perfect excuse and I know you're gonna like it:)
We've be busy getting into the holiday spirit and we're absolutely DEEEEEEEEEEEELITED about it:) We even started playing our holiday music in the store. To be honest, I could listen to Christmas music all year long but don't want to ruin it for some of you:)

Anyways, we've been designing some sweet gift ideas. I'm sure some of you noticed it on our website. Here are some close up shots of them.

We haven't posted this up on line as we just finished these adorable holiday photo cookies yesterday. I don't know whats cuter, the girl or the lollipop cookie???

I think they both look cutest together. :)

We've also been buzzing around here getting ready for our second Christmas shipment of goodies. They'll be out on the floor by Nov 21st next week Friday. Our ever so popular Gingerbread house kits will finally be available. I know a lot of you have been calling about them, so I thought I'd mention it to you here.

I"ve also been prepping for our brand new Holiday Cookie Bouquet class and Holiday Cupcakes class. If you like making gifts for your friends and family, these classes are made just for you.

I hope this brings you some Holiday Cheer!!!! :)

Juicy Time!!!

We're so excited to launch our new flavor Juicy Raspberry.

I think some of you out there have been as well. Our order form said that this new flavor would be available from Nov-Dec and as soon as Nov.1 st came around, it was Juicy Time:) I was so excited that there were other cupcake fans out there that were just as excited as we were.

Juicy Raspberry may end up being a perma-flavor, as of now, it will be available from Nov - Dec.

Juicy Raspberry:

The name says it all! Vanilla cupcake topped with cream cheese frosting and swirled with home style raspberry preserves. For the ultimate Juicy experience, don't hold back just let the icing get all over your fingers.

Happy Birthday M1NT!!!!

Last night was M1NT's 2nd Birthday and we were very excited to be apart of their sparkling celebration. They requested for a Mintlicious Cupcake Tower.

We decorated 109 cupcakes decorated with their fabulous logo and accessorized with our Lil Diva silver balls. Chocolate and Vanilla Cupcakes were placed on alternating tiers.

As requested, we decorated their topper cake with stars and a yummy bottle of Krug champagne.
Happy M1NTlicious Birthday:)
