Nashville!

Hi y'all!  :) This coming week I will be in Nashville, TN!  My fiance has to go for work and I get to go for fun!  I am really excited to see Nashville and I will be on the look out for cupcakes.  I am loving this picture, little kids enjoying cupcakes are so cute!  

Stay tuned, I will post pictures of Cupcakery's and Bake Shops in Nashville!  

Cupcake Tasting Event!

lil' Miss Cupcake is having a Cupcake Tasting Event at September's Bride in Holland!  

It will be April 24th from 5pm-8pm.

Please mark your calendars for an evening of gorgeous bridal gowns and fabulous cupcakes!

Come discuss cupcakes for your wedding, bridal shower, or any other event!  

There are still dates available for 2008 and 2009! 

Johnny Cupcakes

I am a Boston Red Sox fan and a cupcake fan (duh!).  I ran across this shirt at Johnny Cupcakes and I think it is fabulous so I had to share it with you!  I love his "cupcake couture"!  I think I need to order before the Red Sox play the Tigers this May!  (don't worry, Tigers are #2 for me!)

S'mores

When I think of S'mores, I think of campfires in the Summer and Fall.  One of my favorite things as a child was when my dad would make a fire and we would roast marshmallows.  My mom would always remember to bring graham crackers and chocolate.  I loved putting them together and trying to eat them without getting the melted chocolate and marshmallow all over me (impossible!)!  These cupcakes bring me back to that time when the most important thing in life was playing outside until dark, riding your bike and your friends!  Turns out, we weren't too far off from what's really important!  

Easter is just around the corner and I have been experimenting with some ideas.

I made some Peep Cakes, unfortunately peeps were harmed in this process!  I melted 

some peeps into the Marshmallow frosting to give it a lovely purple color!

Remember there is an Easter Special going on!  If you order two dozen cupcakes (or more) you will receive 10% off your order!

Easter is this Sunday! Cupcake Special!

Yes, I know it's St. Patty's Day and its a little early to talk about Easter...but Easter is this coming weekend!  I wanted to offer an early Easter Cupcake Special for my wonderful blog readers.  

I am offering 10% off for orders of two dozen or more cupcakes for Easter!  

AND...the first person to order will receive these fabulous little Easter egg candles from Papyrus!!

The sooner you order the better.  lil' Miss Cupcake needs at least 24 hour notice!

Don't forget to include your contact information or shoot me an email at becca@lilmisscupcake.com

I can't believe that Easter is right around the corner.  Later today I will post a special for Easter Cupcakes, so be sure to check back!!

JK Photography & lil' Miss Cupcake

Wednesday I had the pleasure of meeting Jen from JK Photography!  She took amazing pictures of my little cupcakes!   I will let the pictures speak for themselves!  Thanks Jen!

(The pictures are also posted on JK Photography, Pearls Event and Amy Carroll Photography.)

"Wedding Season" is right around the corner!

So, with that being said, I want to help you out!  

I am also a "bride-to-be" and I know how stressful and exciting planning a wedding can be. 

There are so many little details that are involved.  

Now, if you need someone to help you setup and to take care of those little details, I know the perfect person, Aletha!

Now, if you are still deciding on a wedding cake/cupcakes, I know the perfect person, me!

I think that cupcakes are a great idea for weddings...smaller, less mess, no cake cutting fee, I could go on and on!!

I would like to offer a special!!  

The first 5 people to comment on this post will receive 20% off cupcakes for their wedding!!

Two very fabulous ladies!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting, Jen from JK Photography and Aletha from Pearls Events!  Jen was kind enough to take some beautiful photos of my cupcakes.  The photos are posted on the JK Photography blog and on the Amy Carroll Photography blog.  

I cannot say enough about these girls!! They are so friendly and helpful and their work is amazing!

Keep posted, as I will have some more pictures later today!  

Interview

So, this blog is new and lil' Miss Cupcake is new. You probably don't know a lot about lil' Miss Cupcake, so here is your chance! Rebecca Heynen, owner of lil' Miss
Cupcake is interviewing herself! (Interview questions from a Cakespy Interview)

What is your most popular cupcake flavor?
Probably the Hot Chocolate Cupcake, everyone goes crazy over the rich, light and fluffy frosting.

What is your personal favorite flavor?
That is hard because I love them all! Right now, probably the Pink Velvets... cream cheese frosting with delightfully pink little cakes full of white chocolatey goodness!

Do you sell anything other than cupcakes?
Currently we only make cupcakes. Anything can happen in the future, I'm sure when I have a Bake Shop we will have all kinds of goodies (but mostly cupcakes)!

What in your opinion is the best time of day to eat cupcakes?
8am- Coffee Cupcake, for a morning pick-me-up. 

3pm- Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcake, for a little protein mid-day to stay focused.
7pm- Coconut Cupcake, for an after dinner snack.
10pm- S'mores Cupcake, for a late night treat. :)

What, if anything, makes a "bad" cupcake?
Cupcakes seem hard to mess up but actually there are a lot of little details that will affect the way a cupcake will turn out. There are several things that could make a
"bad" cupcake. Poor ingredients will affect the cupcakes taste. Paying attention to baking time is really important, every oven is truly different!  

Will cupcakes ever go out of style?

I don't think so. Cupcakes are classic, just like Audrey Hepburn, red lipstick and black pumps.  I remember enjoying cupcakes when I was 5 years old and I will still enjoy them when I am 80 years old!

What is next for lil' Miss Cupcake?

I would like to continue to share Cupcakes with Grand Rapids! Eventually I would also like to open a lil' Miss Cupcake Bake Shop/Cupcakery.

Hello everyone!

This is my very first post on my very new blog!  I'm so excited to start this and I hope have this up and running soon.

Thanks for the support!
