Bichon Poodles Need New Homes!

Buster and I saved these bichon poodles from a kill shelter through the same rescue group that saved Buster- Doggie Protective Services. They are all cleaned up and ready for their forever homes! They let us pick names- Biscuit, Marmalade, and Waffles. Bichon Poodles are the best dogs ever- they are non-shedding and hypoallergenic, smart, easy to to train, very playful and loving. They love cats and kids and people, and cupcakes!

We also started our Local Lady Farms line, by baking some delicious and sort of good for you honey sweetened lemon raspberry coconut cupcakes. We used eggs from Tina's chickens, lemons from Martha's tree and we were going to use honey from one of Mr. Filmschool's former co-worker's hives but we have other local honey sources! They were so good that our best customer ordered some more, in the shape of coconut marmalade cats. I didn't think that raspberry jelly bursting out of kitty's head would look that appetizing, so we used marmalade. Cookies and cupcakes for all your party needs!

Keep on Rockin' those Cupcakes

All done! 49 down, none to go! Although I will be open for business for any type of custom cupcake you can imagine... as long as they're pink...

The last three designs were the Snowmen, the Nutcrackers, and the Snow Globes. I looked in 6 different stores to find the carrot noses- no go. I used candy corn instead. I think you could use orange starbursts or orange modeling chocolate. I had so many bags of candy and twinkies and gumdrops and modeling chocolate and cookies in the cabinet that I didn't even know I had the one black spice drop left for the snowman's hat on the snow globes. So make sure you pick through all your candy before buying any more! We had a super fun party where we had guests decorate their own cupcakes- such great ideas! I always thought if I ever had a really big event and I was going to get Ace of Cakes to make me a fancy cake- I would get the pink Hello Kitty Fender Stratocaster. I made some for myself out of modeling chocolate! It has been a great adventure- so many fun ideas and such a lovely way to make people happy and do art (that's edible!). We'll keep on rockin' and cupcaking and see you at the next parTAY!

Penultimate!

Oh, it's fun to use big words!!! Almost as much fun as sculpting Tootsie Rolls and Twinkies! Winkie Face! Decorating ideas number 45 and 46 were the Thanksgiving Turkeys and the Partridge in the Pear Tree. Three more to go! I have to tell you that there is no such thing as caramel jimmies. Dusty Daly City Professional Cake Store Proprietress told me this a few months ago, and lengthy internet searches have proven it true. It takes a special kind of weirdo to roll out tiny pieces of actual caramels and then mince them and then put them on the turkey with tweezers, but I did that! Then we decided that rainbow jimmies are just that much more festive. Louie likes birds. I'm not so much of a fan, so eating birds of whatever various flavors is my preferred avian interaction. We had a lovely holiday and hope everyone else did, too. Looking forward to some serious cupcaking cheer and then taking our creative endeavors to ever more artful heights- on Dasher, on Dancer!

Artists n Alligators

Love 'em, don't eat them! Or it's okay to eat them if they're made out of cupcakes! It's almost as if I planned making the alligator frosting from mixing all the Van Gogh frosting together... what does it mean?

Halloween!

Treats and Costumes make us happy...

but the werewolves WERE scary! The Giants winning the World Series was kind of fun, too! Good thing it was distraction day at Civilized Canine Class, good job Buster! All super fun cupcakes to make, just a slight issue with getting the Oreos to open cleanly. I had to have a special Oreo engineer come in. And I just used dark chocolate frosting instead of breaking out the black food coloring. Good thing the pumpkins and the Giants' colors are the same! We like to yell, "San Franciscoooooooooo!"

We made the Autumn Leaves Wreath this week for an Earth Mama baby shower. Even a Certified Environmental Horticulturalist had some difficulty finding suitable leaves in San Francisco. Not so many small maple leaves around. And, of course, stepping over the ravers break dancing in the street when you're stealthily sneeking through the neighbor's yard in the dark of night stealing leaves. We tried Ivy leaves but they were a bit too curly. We turned to the leaf press, so that might work at some point. Did coating the leaves with butter help? When does coating things with butter not help? I switched to using the modeling chocolate in the piping bags instead of bowls, because getting any chocolate on the back side of the leaf broke the whole thing. Not surprisingly easy. 38 down, 11 to go!
