Avengers Assemble!

I'm SO excited for The Avengers movie. I'm counting down the seconds! When a co-worker asked if I could make some Avengers cupcakes for her boyfriend, I was all over it. I was planning on making some just for fun anyways, so it worked out perfectly. :)

Cupcake Bows

One of my favorite ladies, @VS_Jess, last weekend. I wanted to make her some cupcakes and she left the design up to me. Since she makes the cutest hair flowers and bows, I decided to make some of her creations in cupcake form!

Don't Bite Your Friends, Bite This Cake!

I loves me some Yo Gabba Gabba! I have a keytar toy that I might let my son play with in the future. MIGHT. He'll have to earn it. ;) So I always welcome Yo Gabba Gabba! themed cakes. For this one, the lady only wanted Muno. I added his bumps after I took the picture. Oops!

Show Off Your Stripes

The cake orders have picked up. Woo hoo! Here's a zebra striped cake with matching cupcakes that I'm delivering today.

Minnie in Pink

Here's a small Minnie Mouse cake and cupcakes with pink bows.

Pee-Wee's Sweet Adventure

There's a screening of Pee-wee's Big Adventure on the beach tomorrow night. I told my friend Justin that I was going to make Pee-wee cupcakes for us to eat during the movie. He knows the guy putting on the event and before I knew it, he made a deal for me to sell my cupcakes at the event. I went from making probably a dozen cupcakes to making almost 100. lol

I didn't have enough time to make fondant toppers, so I made some out of card stock. Here's a pic of the toppers...


And the cupcakes...

All the Buzz

Mike's cousin knows how to throw a party. Her daughter's first birthday was this past weekend, so you know she went all out. The theme was bees and she asked me to make some cupcakes. She likes things simple, so I frosted the cupcakes in a beehive shape and make little bee fondant toppers.



Here's the cupcakes in the stand. The sign says "Reecey's Sweetsies."

Dexter Table Reading

A former co-worker emailed me last week with the most amazing opportunity! His friend works production on Dexter and she was looking to order some cupcakes for the first table reading for season 6. My former co-worker had shown her the Dexter cupcakes I had made before and she wanted me to make them. Ahhhhhhhhhh! *dies* Dexter is one of my favorite shows, so I was beyond excited.

So I made "blood" splatted cupcakes with knife, syringe and Dexter logo toppers. And a few of the cupcakes spelled out "Season 6."


I delivered these yesterday to the studio. I got to walk by the set and wardrobe. Eek! And the table reading room had scripts for the first episode of season 6 on the table. I wanted to peek so bad!! The cast was supposed to arrive an hour later, so I didn't get to meet any of them. :/ Buuuut the production lady said they're probably going to ask me to make the wrap party cake! Ahhhhhh! *dies again* I told the lady I hope they enjoy the cupcakes and she said "Oh, they're gonna love them. Michael C. Hall is gonna eat those cupcakes. The whole cast is!" *dies again*

Best cupcake/cake order ever.

My Favorite Robot

Invader Zim/Gir cakes are one of my favorites to make. I've only gotten to make two though. Bummer! Here's a giant Gir I made for a co-worker...



I didn't mean to use a black foil for the cake board. I forgot about his black legs, arms and ears. So I outlined them in white fondant. All better!

And I made some matching cupcakes!

Nightmare Before Christmas

One of my co-workers LOVES The Nightmare Before Christmas and Halloween. She's pregnant and due soon. Perfect timing to have a baby around your favorite holiday! She must have planned it. haha Her department threw her a Halloween-themed baby shower yesterday and asked me to make some Nightmare Before Christmas cupcakes.

I Love You, Cupcake!

Working for Hot Topic has allowed my love for Gir to grow ridiculous amounts. I love that crazy robot. You know what's the best part about him? He loves cupcakes! My honorary niece, Miranda, turned 13 yesterday. She loves Gir and cupcakes, too, so this was the perfect opportunity to combine the two in a cake!



So much cute!

Alkaline Trio

A former co-worker hit me up on Facebook to order some cupcakes for her fiancé. He loves Alkaline Trio, so it was really easy to come up with a design... the band's logo!



And here are the cupcakes:

The Birds and the Leaves

I sit right next to Customer Service at work. First of all, that is one of the toughest jobs and it gets hardly any recognition. I couldn't deal with unhappy customers. I give them a lot of props for all that they do.

Anyways, since I sit right next to that department, they get to see a lot of my cake creations. One of the reps is pregnant, so they asked if I would make cupcakes for the baby shower. They found out from her husband that the baby's room has trees and birds on the walls and the colors are yellow, purple and grey. So I made cupcakes in purple and yellow baking cups with grey frosting. Then I made purple birds and branches with yellow leaves toppers. I think I pretty much covered the baby's room theme. =)

X-Men Day

X-Men #1 is out today, so it's time to party X-Men style! What better way to celebrate than with X-Men-themed cupcakes!



X-Men logo, Phoenix's logo, Cyclops, Deadpool, Wolverine and Magneto's helmet.

Happy X-Men Day!

The Purr-fect Cupcake

The lovely @clearasmud and I have the same birthday! Woo hoo! Last year I was told several times by other co-workers that I was not allowed to make her a cake because we have the same birthday. I don't see what that has to do with anything! And this year she told me not to make her a cake. First of all, don't tell me what to do. If I want to make a cake for your birthday, I'm GOING to. And that's exactly what I did.

A giant cupcake with a leopard print bottom, red frosting and a cherry on top!

Championship Cupcakes

The only sports I follow are the World Cup and the Olympics. I like the Super Bowl because I get to make snacks for parties. haha And hockey is fun to watch in person. Basketball is definitely not my thing , but because I live in Southern California, the Lakers are in my face constantly.

As everyone knows they won the championship recently, so a co-worker requested some Lakers-themed cupcakes on the day of the parade.

Purple and gold batter:


Freshly baked:


The logos cover it up, but I also put purple and yellow sprinkles on the frosting.

To Infinity... and Beyond!

My sister's birthday was a few weeks ago. Since Toy Story 3 came out the day after her birthday and she loves the previous two films, I decided that would be the theme for her birthday. I decorated her desk at work in a Toy Story theme and made some matching cupcakes.



Woody was definitely the hardest to make. Rex and the aliens are my favorite! If I had seen Toy Story 3 before making the cupcakes, I would've definitely made a few of the cupcakes with some of the new characters. I love Mr. Pricklepants and Buttercup! No Big Baby though.

The Butterflies and the Bees

The adorable @Queen_Leer ordered a cake for her niece's birthday. She wanted butterflies, bees and flowers on it. Perfect for spring!

Since the butterflies and bees were floating above the cake, it was a little difficult getting a good picture of the cake.


And some matching cupcakes:

Cupcakes in Wonderland

Tomorrow I get to go to a free screening of Alice in Wonderland... in IMAX 3D! My job has some pretty sweet perks. To celebrate the new film, I decided to make some Alice-themed cupcakes! These are based more on the Disney animated film. Maybe after I see the new one, I'll make some cupcakes based on it.

I went with a red velvet flavor in honor of the Red Queen.

Two group shots:




Red hearts for the Red Queen and Ace of Hearts cards:


"Eat me" sweets:


Cheshire Cat's face and mushrooms/flowers:


Mad Hatter's hat:


Tweedledee & Tweedledum hats and bow ties:

A Fist-Pumping Good Time

I love Jersey Shore! I wouldn't call it a guilty pleasure, because I'm not ashamed at all. I even yelled "fist pump" at my bar last weekend. I'm a proud fan! haha So of course I made cupcakes for the season finale.

I thought the finale was next week, so these were made in a rush. I think they turned out awesome! My lovely bff @cupcakesncones gave me her Snickers cupcake recipe. Snickers for Snooki! I used green, white and red baking cups to represent Italy's flag. And then made fondant toppers.

Here's all the cupcakes:


Jersey Shore logos and Italy's flag with "G.T.L." written on it. Gym, tan, laundry baby!


Instructions on how to fist pump:


The Situation's abs, Pauly D's hair and Vinny's fedora:


Snooki's favorite snack, pickles, J-WOWW's boobs and Sammi's bff, her hair extensions:


Ronnie is missing. I couldn't think of something that represented him, so he got left out. Sorry Ronnie!
