As you may know, I am getting married this summer.  Well, it is coming up quickly!  Only a couple weeks till the big day!!

I want to apologize for the lack of posting lately.  I have been busying baking, planning a baby shower (not mine!) and planning a wedding!  I promise that after the wedding things will be back to normal with lil' Miss Cupcake!  I will post things here and there during the next couple weeks.  But after that get ready for lots of CUPCAKES!!! :) 

I appreciate your understanding and I can't wait to be blogging on a regular basis again!! :)

Local News...Andicott

Andicott has closed its doors.  The owner died suddenly earlier this week.  From what I have read they have fulfilled orders for this weekend but that is the last orders they will complete.  I know a lot of brides check my blog, my heart goes out to you if you had an order with them.  There isn't a lot information on story yet but you can find more at Aletha's blog and in an MLive article.

My thoughts and prayers are with the surviving family members.

Tiffany & Co. and Cupcakes!

I *heart* Tiffany & Co. but really, what girl doesn't?!  I was taking a peak at their website and I ran across this darling cupcake charm!!  It's pink and a cupcake...hello!!  Doesn't that scream lil' Miss Cupcake?! :)  I'll have to talk to Dave! haha 

Beginning of the week cupcakes!

This week has started off busy at lil' Miss Cupcake!  lil' Miss Cupcake loves beginning of the week cupcake orders because the majority of the weekends for the rest of the summer are unavailable!

Yesterday, I made S'mores Cupcakes.  Today I made S'mores Cupcakes, Carrot Cake Cupcakes and Pumpkin Cupcakes.

Happy Cupcaking! (Is that even a word?! Oh well!!)  :)

Finally!

Introducing the Nutella and Banana Cupcakes!  Wow, I don't know where to begin...

I started with the Banana Cupcakes.  I could smell the banana goodness before they were even done baking and I knew they were going to be good!  Once I pulled them out of the oven and they were cool enough to eat, I dove it!  YUMMY!!!!!!!  I used all purpose flour in these cupcakes instead of the cake flour that I always use to give it more of a dense texture.  Man, did these cupcakes deliver!!

Next, I made the Nutella Buttercream Frosting.  Light and fluffy with rich chocolate flavor and hints of hazelnut, delish!!  

Finally, I topped them off with a slice of fresh banana. :)

With the first bite I was hooked!!  The cake is slightly denser but very moist.  With the first bite I tasted the rich chocolate flavor and then BAM the banana hits you just at the right time! Fabulous! 

They are officially added to the line up!!  :)

My apologies!

lil' Miss Cupcake is experiencing some technical difficulties.  

I am having some problems loading pictures.  :(

As soon as I get everything in working order I will post some new pictures!

I apologized for the inconvenience and I will be back up and running as soon as possible!  Thank you for your understanding!

A couple weeks ago lil' Miss Cupcake provided cupcakes for Alishan and Mike's Wedding Reception After Party.  The photography was done by Ben Harrison Photography and they were kind enough to send me a couple photos from the event!  

They weren't at the After Party but they took some pictures of the cupcakes in the boxes before the event!  Thank you so much Ben and Laura!  The pictures look amazing!  Please check out their blog for more fabulous photos from this event!

FYI, the nutella cupcake pictures will be posted tomorrow!  :)

Happy (early) 4th of July!

lil' Miss Cupcake wishes everyone a safe and wonderful 4th of July!

Enjoy the long weekend!! :)
