Yo Gabba Who?

None of the Cupcake Bliss crew have kids, so we aren't exactly tuned into the ever-changing popular kid's shows.  We had a customer come in a few months back requesting cupcakes decorated with Yo Gabba Gabba decorations.  We all said, "Yo Gabba who?  Who has heard of this show?"  Google to the rescue!  We were introduced to the world of Yo Gabba Gabba, and Dominique and Karolyn set out to replicate the funny characters.  Not only did the cupcakes turn out way cute, we were sad to see our new fondant friends leave the shop.  Yo Gabba Gabba, you stole our hearts...especially you, Foofa!

New Website...Ta-Daa!!!

Today is an exciting day; our new website is now live.  It's been a work in progress for quite some time, and we are so pleased with how it looks.  You will find updated pricing, flavor list, pictures of our cupcakes to tempt your tastebuds and a little bio about our owner, Karolyn.  Sooo...

You are cordially invited to cupcakebliss.com.

Tell us what you think...add us to your favorites...visit often!

Rustic Wedding

A bride who loves our Italian Delight cupcakes and did not want a traditional wedding cake asked us to come up with an Italian Delight Cake for the bride and groom.  The wedding theme was rustic, so Karolyn added crushed walnuts around the 8" cake and dusted the top of the 6" cake with the crushed walnuts.   It was a perfect wedding cake for a perfect day!

Colleyville Chamber of Commerce Women's Brunch

We were honored to be asked to do the center pieces to a fabulous event hosted by the Colleyville Chamber of Commerce.  The Empowered Woman Brunch was a sweet event held at the Piazza in the  Village.  Look how beautiful our cupcakes looked with the center lights shinning on them.

Alex's Lemonade

 On Saturday, we were delighted to see volunteers in our parking lot setting up an Alex's Lemonade Stand.  Alexandra Scott, a child battling cancer, began her lemonade stand in her front yard to help raise money for children with cancer.  What a wonderful sight to see how this precious and courageous little girl's stands continue to pop up across the nation!  Of course, Cupcake Bliss wanted to help, so we baked up some Strawberry Lemonade Bliss Bites topped with our yummy Lemon Cream Cheese frosting...all proceeds going toward this charity.

Monkey Business

The cupcake business is certainly a fun business, and we sometimes monkey around.  So, when a customer came in with a Paul Frank Monkey party plate in hand, we were thrilled!  It's always a joy to work on orders for children's parties...this was no exception.  Chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with our standard buttercream frosting were adorned with blue dots, a cherry and of course, Paul Frank Monkey.

The best way to communicate what you want is to bring in a visual for us to see...napkin, plate, invitation.  This Paul Frank plate was perfect for helping us know our customer's vision.  Cute, don't you think??

GRADUATION

Wow, we got through May!!  I don't remember much but my feet hurt and we have one month to go before we hit our official 1 year anniversary.   We had more orders than we thought we could handle.  Well, we handled it and today we had our busiest Saturday to date.  One cake, one pull apart cake and dozens of cupcakes out the door.  I could not do it without my baking assistants Heather and Dominique plus the sales associates.  Here are a few pictures of what we worked on this month.
