Everything's coming up violets!

My second born daughter, Cecelia, turns 23 this weekend, and since her middle name is Violet, that seemed like the obvious choice for cupcake decorations. The cupcake flavor was also an easy decision...margarita! Tequila-lime cupcake, lime curd filling and salted buttercream frosting. I was just thinking... the finished product is a lot like the birthday girl, pretty, sweet...and(occasionally) filled with tequila!

June Showers

June has brought, not only rainy weather, but also showers of the bridal variety. This bride will have a bird and wild flower theme at her outdoor wedding next month. Lemon cupcakes with lemon cream cheese frosting are topped with chocolate nests and fondant bluebirds. Very refreshing after all those shower games and opening all those gifts!
