Throwback Thursday: Chocolate-Covered Strawberry

In the spirit of #throwbackthursday, I thought I would share some of my past creations!

These chocolate-covered strawberry cupcakes were perfect for another mid-summer party (it's seems as though most of my cupcakes end up at mid-summer events!) and they tasted oh-so yummy!

All I did was make chocolate cupcakes and topped them strawberry jam buttercream and a fresh strawberry - so good!

If you like what you see and want them for your event, look no further than my Flavour List! 

Yes - these made the list!

Throwback Thursday: Pink Lemonade, Anyone?

In the spirit of #throwbackthursday, I thought I would share some of my past creations!

These Pink Lemonade cupcakes were one of my first cupcake baking adventures - I made them for a mid-summer puppy party a few years ago and they were a hit! 

How cute are the straws?! I really love these ones!

Although they were terribly simple to make, they were delicious! This was before I tried my hand at buttercream icing and now that I have gained buttercream confidence, I can't wait to try these again and make them even better!

I've got a few more throwback posts coming up so stay tuned!

Boy or Girl?!

This past weekend was spent celebrating my hubby's childhood best friend (and his best man at our wedding!) and his wife as they gear up to welcome their first little keiki (child in Hawaiian) in January!

Since they live in Ontario,  we unfortunately don't get to see them as often we would like but fortunately (for them and definitely for us!), Lucas works for WestJet so they can get over here relatively easily*!

Lucas' mom arranged Claire's baby shower and a BBQ for their friends and family and I was dying to bake! They won't be finding out what they are having so I used this as the perfect excuse to make two different kinds of cupcakes - cherry chip with almond icing for my "girl" flavour and chocolate coconut with coconut icing for my "boy" flavour.

Check them out!

How perfect are these in mini size too?!

We had such a great time with everyone and 

we couldn't be more thrilled for the arrival of the new little babe!

See you in a couple days for Aloha Friday!

*Being a child of an airline pilot, I use the phrase "relatively easily" very loosely. Flying standby ain't no joke, people... 

Aloha Friday - Very Pinteresting...

It's Aloha Friday once again! *imaginary high-five!*

This week, I thought I would share some of my favorite/recent pins!
