Monogram cupcakes!

My sister recently got married and asked me to make her cupcakes and a small cake for the reception. Her color of choice was light blue, so I began the search for the perfect cupcake design.  She wanted something simple, but elegant and I came across the idea to put her monogram on the cupcakes in the light blue color. I also selected two different cupcake wrappers from Bake it Pretty.  The wrappers were great!

I used a rubber stamp to put the monogram on my fondant cupcake toppers. The stamp worked great and added elegance without extra bulk!
I can't say it is easy to make over 100 cupcakes and a cake with a 3 year old, 2 year old, and 3 month old running around, but it was still fun and I'm glad everything turned out well! 

Here are some more picts of the process and final product along with the bride and my cuties as well!



THE FINISHED PRODUCT!

Mickey Mouse cake!

The boys were excited to watch this cake being made for their cousin Erik. He celebrated his 3rd birthday Mickey Mouse style and we created the cake to match!

My three reasons for the season!

I know this is a blog of sweets and treats, however, I just had to share a photo of the little nuggets that run my life these days. I took this photo on a November morning. I didn't quite know what was going to happen with my 3 year old, 2 year old , and newborn all snuggled up together. I was utterly surprised to see that one of the photos actually turned out. I caught them in their own element, and boy are they ever cute(in my opinion of course). So here are my reasons for the season!
