This Is "Major" ...

In July we were contacted by Carrie Hasson of Carrie Hasson Photography to create a special order of cupcakes for her husband's big promotion!  Captain Matt Hasson of the US Army was being promoted to Major Hasson!  To celebrate this special event we made a cupcake tree of our Cool Lemon cupcakes to be shared at his swearing in ceremony.  Each cupcake was topped with the clover insignia symbolizing the rank of Major.  

Congratulations Major Hasson!

In-Action Photo Shoot

A couple weeks ago I did a fun photo shoot with my friend Athena of Athena Plichta Photography.  I first connected with Athena when she shot a birthday party for little Chole's Abby Cadabby theme 2nd birthday.  We got to work together again when she shot the Cupcakes & Aprons feature for Military Spouse Magazine and I'm excited to work together again on a beautiful wedding in the fall!  Athena's lifestyle photography is bright & fun and she does a great job at capturing the moment.  Check out her latest keiki, ohana & in-love sessions on her blog.  

For our photo shoot we made our popular Red Velvet cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing while Athena shot and documented every step along the way.  In addition to our Red Velvet's we put together several other yummy varieties: Yellow Butter Cupcakes filled with Fresh Strawberry Cream and topped with handmade sugar flower hydrangea's, a summery sunflower cupcake and Devils Food Cupcakes filled with Vanilla Cream and topped with sugar sand & seashells! =)  We hope you enjoy the pics! 

Aloha!

Janel & Andrew's Cherry Blossom Wedding Cake

July continued on with our busy wedding season and each cake we made was unique as different from the last.  Last month we featured Elizabeth & Don's North Shore Estate wedding and today we take you to the Royal Hawaiian Hotel for Janel & Andrew's wedding.

Janel & Andrew celebrated their Hawaii destination wedding with this modern and chic Cherry Blossom theme wedding cake.  Their 3 tiered cake was adorned with cascading and climbing soft pink sugar flower cherry blossoms.  I love the clean, simple elegance of the delicate flowers and buds.  The cake flavors they selected were our Yellow Butter Cake with Fresh Strawberry Cream filling and Coconut Cake with Coconut Cream filling.  Along with their wedding cake we provided a small cupcake tree with Devils Food Chocolate Cupcakes filled with Cookies N Cream for their dessert candy buffet.

For more shots of their special day, check out Kai Photos blog.  The Royal Hawaiian is nicknamed the Pink Palace and their pics show how the hotel got is name!
