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.

Graduation pull apart cake, Red Swiss Meringue Butter cream on Red Velvet cupcakes.

April Showers

This month we have been busy with lots of baby showers and birthday parties.  I have been waiting for so long to make Owl cupcake decorations and we finally received an order for them.  We even made Italian Delights with matching Pink and Green coconut.  So cute!

We also had pink and yellow baby shower decorations too.  Look at these cute baby diapers we did in a yellow and pink tones.

Wedding Season is on it's way too.  We can't wait to see what ideas our brides bring us this year.

King Cake Cupcakes

We will offer King Cake Cupcakes now until Fat Tuesday.  Here is a quick picture!  Let us know what you think.

This is an almond cupcake, and I added a brown sugar and cinnamon center.  I topped it with a sweet cream cheese glaze and purple, gold and green sugar sprinkles.

Come by and enjoy one with a hot cup of coffee!

End of February!

Valentine's Day came and went so fast and now I have been working 20 days straight.  It does not look as if it is slowing down any time soon either.   With only myself and Heather here, we managed to sell over 600 cupcakes for walk in customers and sold out twice, both times in under 2 hours.  My brother Tim came in to make our deliveries and kept the customers smiling while they waited in line.

I immediately hired another baking assistant who starts next week!  I can't wait.

We are getting ready for our Academy Awards cupcakes this weekend.  We will feature a cupcake from each of the Best Picture nominees this year.  More details to follow on Saturday and we will post pictures of course.  We are also planning on doing a King Cake Cupcake then will follow with special Easter cupcakes.

First Blog Post!

Hello Everyone!  We just got back from Mexico just in time for the Ice Storm of 2011.   Since I was in for the entire day, I decided it is a great day to start blogging.  I have been thinking about it and it just seems like a great time to start.  I will mostly have all things related to Cupcake Bliss, but I will also put up stuff about our travels, pictures, running, and my friends and family.  Please stay tuned as I am learning as I go, but I will try very hard to post at least once or twice a week.


We spent three days in beautiful Cabo, San Lucas courtesy of Lance and Julie Turner.  I was able to spend time with my Express peeps for some much needed R&R.  Heather, Alia and Melanie kept the shop running on Saturday and they did awesome!!!  Here are just a few pictures of us in Cabo, right before Scott almost killed himself with our friends Troy and Tony.  Just kidding, but they do have a great story to tell.
