Cupcake Wars

So I haven't been on here to post in sometime, so much has happened over the past few months. My laptop crashed with all of my recent pictures of creations that I have completed over the last few months. I'm super bummed about that. Since I don't have any photos to show, I can only tell you about some of the amazing "sweet creations" that I made. I created some tasty chocolate/mint cupcakes for St. Patty's day and some cute Easter cupcakes with grass pipped on top with hidden eggs along with some other sweets. My lesson from this disaster was to make sure I save all my creations on my jump external drive regularly. On another note the new series "Cupcake Wars" debut tonight on the Food Network. It was interesting to see all the bakers think on there feet to impress the judges. Not too mention to see some folks get their egos crushed. Sometimes what's good to us, is not always good to other people. I think this maybe my new favorite show.

It has been a long time since I last updated this site. Soooo many things have taken place with Cara Bella Creations. I have become "legal" business license and all. I have been working my way through the event planning certification and have since completed some "Diaper Cakes”, things are well. I'm actually proud of how far I have come, since the start of this blog. I know that in due time every step I have taken will be well worth it. ~~CBC~~

Its Football Time.....

Welcome Baby Orlando

Its Football Time !!!!

A co-worker of mine request a diaper cake for a baby shower at the last minute( less than twenty -four hours notice). Thankfully I work under pressure and was able to put something toegther that I'm sure the expectant mother will be please with. I had to make a late night run to Wally World, since I was low on ribbon and a few other things. I'm so glad that I had one a friends to me company as I put everything together. I hate to tut my horn, like I am the bomb(LOL I AM !!!!), but I think I out did myself with this diaper cake.

Sweet Creations.....

 Mango Cupcakes

Cookies in Creme

My cute lil cupcakes cups.

I recently have developed this craving for Mangos and wondered what it would taste like if they were mixed in cupcakes. So I decided to try my hand at Mango Cupcakes with Mango Flavored Buttecreme. I was definitly impressed with the consistency of teh butter creme this time, it was just right not too thin. My daughter was asking for cupcakes so in the same day I dediced to make some Cookies in Creme Cupcakes. The cupcakes where a big hit at the office the next day, I have turned into the Monday Cupcake Lady. I think I'm going ot chill with the baking at least for a minute until I complete the fisrt course of the Wilton Decorating Course. I havew attended to classes since the last post, I'm ready to take the next course II.

Slow To The Race, but a Beautiful Finish....

So I completed my second diaper cake for one of my sorority sisters this past month. I strive for perfection in everything that I do. I was really impressed with the way that the finished product came out. I actually finished this diaper cake much quicker than the last cake. I look forward to creating the next diaper cake.

Sweet Sensations.....

I decided to treat my co-workers to "Chocolate Hazelnut" Cupcakes. It gave my the opportunity to use my new Cupcake Courier, that I was finally able to locate at TJ Maxx Home Store. I never made these before, so I was a little nervous about how they would come out. To my surprise the cupcakes were a hit with the office. I'm thinking about whipping up another batch for the upcoming week.

I'm Back!

There have been a lot things going since the last post TOO may to name. I'm finally back; with some new ideas and ready t take this to the next level. If you have ever met a true GEMINI you would know that we constantly change our minds. What does that mean? It means that I will not only be doing event planning, but allowing my future clients to pick A'la Carte what they would like to have in their package. I'm all about creativity and mixing things together to create that special moment or unique gift. If you would like more information about a specific service or price listing, I can be reached at the contact information below.

I just completed a baby shower, this past weekend, where I had the opportunity to showcase my skills. It was also the first time that I completed a diaper cake, it was SOOOO much fun. I look forward to completing many more in the future. If you should know of anyone interested in a diaper cake for a baby shower or first birthday let me know.
