Cupcakes for Spring Affairs

This week has been so busy yet so nice! It all started last weekend with a short visit from my parents. My mom even helped out at the Century City farmers market! She was so tired from all the excitement that she stayed home the next day while I visited the L.A. Zoo with my dad and the kids. But I was back to work that same day to get a head start on the next custom orders.

An event I was looking forward to was this wedding at the Santa Monica Carousel, located at the base of the pier. It was so crowded on this Saturday afternoon that the tower was hit on the way over... Luckily I had some tape on hand and puzzled it back together to create this colorful display.

The top tier has a 6 inch cutting cake, followed by 3 dozens of custom decorated cupcakes and over 120 mini cupcakes at the base.

This baby shower cupcake display was inspired by the invitation provided by the mom-to-be. The outdoor setting was the perfect background for the butterflies decorating the cupcakes.

Last but not least, a young lady was celebrating her 15th birthday in style today. The event was held downtown L.A. and the decor was fit for a queen. Feliz cumpleaños!
