Campfire s’mores cupcakes for my bestie’s birthday! Chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow buttercream. “Logs” are pretzel sticks and I whipped out my torch to get the marshmallows done.

My sister’s baby is due in October and today we had the baby shower! There was a hot air balloon theme because our late father loved them.

Hoppy Easter, everybunny! This year I made ’s lemon blueberry cupcake recipe but swapped out the cream cheese frosting she uses for a Swiss meringue buttercream. (My family doesn’t love cream cheese frosting unfortunately). I piped it using a Russian ball tip and filled the empty space with fresh blueberries. I made a blueberry simple syrup from scratch and piped it over the whole thing. They were so fresh and tasty!

Black Forest cupcakes for my family’s Oktoberfest party! Thanks to for the recipe. The cupcakes were a big hit, and my entire family loved how light the whipped cream frosting was in contrast to the dense chocolate cupcake. I couldn’t find fresh black cherries to put on top ANYWHERE!

Apologies for not posting for awhile! I was busy with my summer semester of school and then got diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer. I just had surgery to get my thyroid and some lymph nodes out two weeks ago, and I’m almost completely clear!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted! These babies are from Thanksgiving. S’mores cupcakes 😍 First, I threw some butter and graham crackers into a food processor, packed it into the cupcake wrappers, and pre-baked it. Next, I topped them off with my chocolate cake recipe and baked! I topped them off with a Swiss meringue, torched it, and stuck a rectangle of Hershey’s milk chocolate into it. They were a HUGE hit with my family, as were the maple bacon bourbon ones—but more on those later. _________________________

Happy spooky season and happy 26th birthday to me! My friends get mad at me for insisting on making my own birthday cake, but I have so much fun! This is a chocolate cake with cookies & cream buttercream frosting and decorated with gold luster dust, Oreos, and Halloween sprinkles! The cake plate is an old faux marble clock face that broke years ago 😂 _______________________________

Created for my sister’s wedding on September 18th! She asked for her favorite chocolate cake with buttercream frosting as a wedding cake and the same chocolate for cupcakes along with vanilla cupcakes too. This was the largest project I’ve worked on to date. 200 cupcakes plus the display cake! The bottom two tiers of the cake were actually styrofoam to take some of the weight off my shoulders😅 I decorated the cake with fresh flowers and the cupcakes were decorated with six different tips. Shout out to for the fantastic pictures! Love you guys, and love my amazing sister .
(P.S. swipe to the end to see the baker behind the cake!)

We had an excellent day today showering my sister, , with love in preparation for her September wedding! (Keep an eye out around then for the wedding cake and cupcakes 😉) I made her favorite—chocolate cupcakes with American buttercream frosting! The shower had a boho picnic vibe so I felt like these flowers were fitting. First time using a Russian ball tip! __________________

Happy Mother’s Day, part 2! Here’s the cupcakes my aunt hired me to make for my Grandma’s birthday party yesterday! The first is very similar to the full cake featured in my last post: a lemon cupcake filled with lemon curd, topped with raspberry Swiss meringue buttercream and garnished with candied lemon slices that I made myself! The second is a “Mounds” cupcake: chocolate cupcakes with coconut Swiss meringue buttercream, garnished with shredded coconut. My one regret is not filling the latter with chocolate ganache 😬 Both were a bit at the party, but especially the chocolate coconut ones! Once again, shoutout to for the cupcake liners and for the clamshell cupcake holders I used! _______________________________

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, but especially my mom and grandma! Yesterday was also Grandma’s 86th birthday, and my aunt hired me to bake a cake and some cupcakes! This is a lemon cake with two layers of raspberry coulis and one layer of lemon curd, all covered in raspberry Swiss meringue buttercream! The garnish is made up of lemons that I candied myself, fresh raspberries, piped frosting, and sprinkles. It took such a long time to decorate this, but I’m so happy with how it turned out. I’ll post the cupcakes in a separate post💕 Big shoutout to for the cake boards and the box I used to transport it! ______________________________

Happy Easter, everyone! Today’s cake was a brown butter cake soaked with honey simple syrup, filled and frosted with honey Italian buttercream frosting! Garnish is candied thyme. I want to try to start making some lighter flavors and experimenting more from here on out! My family loves my chocolate cake so much, but they’ll just have to get used to my experiments 😂

Happy Valentine’s Day! My best friend’s boyfriend made the excellent decision to order a cake from me for her😊 this is a chocolate cake with whipped chocolate ganache and strawberry jam filling, crumb coated with ganache, frosted with pink buttercream frosting, and draped with more chocolate ganache topped with two plump ganache coated strawberries. My friend doesn’t love fruit, but she loveeeeeeees this cake! ________________________________
