Everything Pink Cupcakes


Besides the chocolate cake, these cupcakes are all about the pink. Pink vanilla buttercream frosting, pink hearts made from confectioner's chocolate and pink sprinkles. So fun for a female birthday!

I received this really sweet note from my client:

Hello,

My mom recently placed an order with you for the pink cupcakes for my girlfriends birthday. You actually have them featured in your blog. I just wanted to tell you that her family as well as mine feels that these are by far the best cupcakes we have ever had. My girlfriend said she would prefer your baking over flowers hands down haha. I just wanted to tell you that I will be recommending you to any one I can. You did an excellent job and i just wanted to say thank you.

I came up with a pink dress, shoes and a dog. The large cupcake is for the birthday girl. Yellow cupcakes with vanilla buttercream. All decorations are made with confectioner's chocolate.

I received this sweet note from my client:

Hi Rose,
Great job! The cupcakes were perfect - Lauren was thrilled! She thought she was getting a cake from the grocery store so that made it even "sweeter". They were too cute to eat, but we did. :) They're as delicious as they are pretty. You really added the perfect touch to her Legally Blonde birthday.

Thanks again! Lori

Chocolate with vanilla buttercream and chocolate with chocolate fudge frosting. Lemon with lemon curd cream cheese frosting and carrot with cream cheese frosting.
