Struessel cupcakes

Tastey?..yes! 

crumbly goodness?..check!

a new fav?..you betcha!

I typically don't fall over for this type of treat but my husband does so meet the struessel cupcake!  I love the crumbly topping drizzled with a sweet glaze, the textures together are, well, sweet...literally!

Pineapple upside down cupcakes

I L.O.V.E pineapple...so it would be correct to assume that pinapple upside down would be one of my favorites, and it is. 

This was a new recipe and boy was it great! 

The cake was super moist and full of flavor and the whip cream on top was a perfect finish!

Boston Creme Pie cupcake

Three words - Boston. Creme. Pie.  WOW! okay maybe four!

This cupcake is AH-MAZING!  Really. 
I have my favorites and this one would be at the top.
If you don't know me or anything about me - know this, I love chocolate!  As in, it is wrong how much I love chocolate!  The best thing about this cupcake is, of course, the chocolate!  Okay, technically it is a chocolate ganache but I am not a techy gal so we can just call it what it is - rich, dark, finger-lickin good - chocolate!  The vanilla creme center and the moist cake don't hurt either ;)

Monkey Cupcake's

Did someone say Monkey cupcake?

I love monkey's! 

I love monkey cupcake's!  

I am not sure what makes me happier, the cute blue bow tie or a smiling monkey :)

Kokopelli Cake

This cake was for a sweet lady who was turning...you guessed it - 75!

She lives here during the winter months and loves the southwest, so we came up with a kokopelli cake!

Fabulous Birthday Cake

This was the most labor intensive cake I have made to date. 
But for good reason!  It was for a dear friends birthday. 
She is a fabulous gal who loves shoes and I really wanted to capture her in all her fabulousness!  If you're trying to figure out the topper, they are shoes, not eye's as my adoring 7yr old boy would say :)  I have to admit the piping was done by my husband - he rocks!

69 Chevelle

Can you see the 69 Chevelle here?...okay, you really have to look for it! 

This was the first attempt at any car cake.  And it was tricky! 

We went for an old Chevelle because this cake was going to celebrate a car enthusiasts 69th birthday and his baby was a bright orange 69 Chevelle.
