Spring has Sprung

I really like when people give me the opportunity to be creative and have few requests. This order for birthday cupcakes were simple. A variety of our cupcakes, with vanilla butter cream, decorated in any way for an adult. I have really been excited about spring-esque pastries lately, and especially the idea of cupcakes looking like a bouquet of flowers. What's better than flowers, that you can eat!!?
I hope the birthday girl loves them. I know I have mentioned before, one of my favorite things about being a pastry chef is that I get to be a silent partner in the celebration of someone's special day. It also puts a lot of pressure on my shoulders, because if it isn't what the customer expects or wants, I feel like I've ruined a really special day. Wedding cakes are really scary, because I know how important they are. I have, thankfully, had nothing but good experiences with weddings though. Let's keep it that way!

Anyways, today was brutal. My feet and legs hurt so bad after work, but I still took Charlie on a really long beach walk while Doug went skating. Now I'm exhausted.

Also, excited about my friend-sushi-date tomorrow with Ainsley, who's birthday is coming up. If you don't already read her blog, you should head on over there and say hello.

That's all for now. I am going to help Doug pack for his trip, and then go to sleep, before I pass out in front of the TV.

xo,
Beca

  3. Oh yes. Oh yes I do. I think I've seen them all. but my favorite was when he made the wedding cake with the cala lillies and the bride came in and put icing all over it. And then he made a bomb cake to make her happy.
