Black and Red 16th Birthday Cake {Teen Birthday Cakes}

This cake was ordered for a 16th birthday celebration - her son's favorite colors are black and red so the cake was designed around these colors. Square tiers that are angled to created interest and topped with a black and silver 16. This cake was ordered a few months ago but didn't want to miss posting it since its always harder to design cakes for men.

Sweets for Scottsdale Moms Bog Mom's Night Out

We recently participated in the Scottsdale Moms Blog Mom's Night Out by providing a huge display of sweets - mini cupcakes, chocolate dipped pretzels, sugared sugar cookies and pink lemonade cookies. We heard our sweets disappeared fast and were a huge hit! The event was cosponsered by Scottsdale Moms Blog and Raising Arizona Kids and was hosted by Ultra Star Cinemas Ultra Luxe Scottsdale. We do a lot of events at venues around town and I was so impressed with the hosts - they had my table all ready to go, very helpful staff and easy parking so that I could bring everything in. Did you know that the theater has a private screening room that you can rent for parties? how cool would that be for a birthday party?

New Trends in Cupcakes, Class Wrap-up

Mason Jar Cupcake, party printables by Amy Miller Designs

We focuses on 3 new trends - party printables, jar cupcakes and cupcake push-up pops.

Our party printables were provided by 2 local designers - Amy Miller Designs and Sarah O Chic. When planning a party, please remember to support your local businesses! We used the printables to create cupcake toppers and stickers to add to the cupcake jars and pushup pops.
