There is a lot going on...

Mother's Day...

I was a busy Mom for mother's day... I went to Savannah to help my daughter, Rebecca, move into her new apartment. Here are some pictures of what we did to the place. This is also why there were no Mother's Day Cupcakes!

Happy Earth Day!

Emilee's Earth Day Cupcakes...

These were a special order... this is Emilee's favorite holiday! I designed the tree with a heart in the middle! They are Banana Chocolate Chip with butter cream frosting and chocolate tree!

Hibiscus Festival was a Success!

I had a great time at the Hibiscus Festival in Vero on April 18th! I provided over 200 mini cupcakes for the event... Banana Pecan with Toasted Coconut and White Chocolate with Macadamia Nuts. I also sold regular size cupcakes too in both the flavors mentioned plus Peanut Butter as well!

Here is Emilee at the event...

The Table...

Beautiful Display...

Thank you to all who attended the fashion show and shared in the Classy Cupcakes!

Here is the Box of Four...

Okay, I have to say I think these are super cute!!! I have to give credit to Hello Cupcake by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson for the Down the Rabbit Hole design... I love it! The Carrot cake design was just a last minute idea and I think it turned out great... the carrots are still planted! The eyes on the chocolate bunny are added by me... they are from a sweet mail order web site I found... http://www.bakeitpretty.com/ I think they really make the bunny come alive!!! And last... who can resist toasted coconut???

You can order this box of four with free delivery in Vero Beach for just $14! Extra cupcakes added to the first four - $3.00 each. One dozen of any flavor or any mix for just $32 ... Order by Thursday, April 9th 532-8995 or email classycupcakes@comcast.net . Delivery on Saturday, April 11th . Sorry, I don't ship cupcakes yet!

Down the Rabbit Hole... Cookies n Cream Cupcakes

I wish I was a better photographer... I made only one of these for a picture... I am going to decorate the other three tomorrow and post them so I will be able to send out an email to offer Easter orders!!! I could not find white circus peanuts so the feet are just butter cream and the pad is a jelly bean half and the toes are mini chocolate chips!

Easter Cupcakes are Coming Soon...

Yes, I am going to offer Easter cupcakes... I will have four different flavors for the holiday... Chocolate with a Bunny... Rich chocolate cake with mini chocolate chips throughout and thick chocolate frosting surrounding a delicious cadbury chocolate bunny standing in the middle of the cupcake with a sweet little flower for a pop of color! Carrot Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese... Real carrots, chopped walnuts, chewey raisins and just the right spices make a unforgetable cupcake... top it with cinnamon cream cheese frosting and decorated with a bright orange carrot! Banana Pecan Cupcake with three speckled robins eggs malt candies nestled in a toasted coconut nest in cream cheese frosting.... and finally Down the Rabbit Hole... a hilariously decorated Cookies & Cream cupcake with buttercream frosting and crushed cookies atop (dirt) and green grass all around... all you see of the rabbit is the bottoms of his feet and his cute little cotton tail!

I promise to make samples in the next couple days and send out emails for orders. I will accept orders for four or more... you can have a mixed box of four or special order your favorites in any quanity. I will take orders till Thursday, April 9th for delivery on Saturday April 11th.

So much to do...

Things are going well so far with the plans for Classy Cupcakes new location! I have been shopping for all of the equipment that I will need... I have found some great deals too! I am so sorry to say that I found quite a few things at a business in Stuart that is having to close...I feel so bad for them that it didn't work. At the same time, I am very thankful to find great equipment for a great price!

Dawn is working with me on the lease... she is the office manager for the landlord. She is so nice to work with! And Laura, Chris and Percy from Bella Hair Design (my new neighbors) are so nice too! I know this is the right decision and I can't wait to get started...

The electric will hopefully be turned on tomorrow. The city made the landlord get a permit and inspection before they would turn it back on... because it's been so long. The space has been vacant for two years. I am working with Al Stien the electrician. He is very nice (sorry for the lack of adjectives tonight).

Still waiting to find a plumber that says the right price... I don't really know what the right price is, but I know 5 grand is not the right price!

Then there is finding the rest of the equipment that I need, ordering a new sign, finding the rest of the counters and cabinets for the front room, ordering the glass shield for the cupcake counter, painting the old dresser and other furniture that I want to paint for the space, installing the new floor, putting a big hole in the wall for the new opening, new trim, painting the walls, possibly wall paper a section, and on and on and on...

Classy Cupcakes Finds a New Home by Miracle Mile

OMG I am so excited that I can't stand it... I am about to sign the lease on a space for Classy Cupcakes!!! Wow, it is soooo much work that is ahead for me and this business it makes my head spin to think about it! But, if I wasn't doing this what would I be doing? I am having such a great time planning and visualizing... I will definately be blogging all about it. This is a picture of the store front now. It is located at 712 21st St. in Vero Beach in Frasier Park Plaza. It is in between PennyHill Subs and Bella Hair Design. The space is about 630 square feet. No time to write anymore right now...sorry.

Happy Birthday Tammy O...

Tammy was my best friend from age 5 till I moved at age 15. We were neighbors in Illinois... Today is her birthday and I hope she had a great day! We talk on the phone every few months or so... and I didn't get a chance to call today... so... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAMMY!!!

Fiasco Brother's 11th Annual Poker Run...

Biker's love cupcakes!!! That's what I found out this past Sunday anyway... I set up a cupcake booth at the event that was a benefit for the Homeless Family Center in Vero Beach. There were soooo many bikers there it was amazing! I had a great time hanging out with the staff from HFS... Marie was so funny. By the end of the day, she was wearing a skull cap and really getting into it! I had waited until 7pm the night before to decide to come to the event... I made 7 dozen cupcakes... 3 dozen Banana Pecan - some with more buttercream, some with a little buttercream, and some with creamcheese, toasted coconut and a candied pineapple chunk... 2 dozen Peanut Butter Fantasy... and 2 dozen Cinnamon Crumb! I sold over 50 cupcakes! Which was great because I had donated a dozen cupcakes gift certificate to the raffle and the prize winner took her cupcakes on the spot!!!
