Thanks to Caitlin for my new label/tag design for Cupcakes2Delite! Now I can surprise my customers with a custom addressed label for special occasions. Caitlin’s company is Design Symmetry and she specialises in design and print, www.designsymmetry.co.za. I used the label/tag design here to wish Jess a Happy Birthday and below to wish Ashleigh a Speedy Recovery.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
19,000 people fit into the new Barclays Center to see Jay-Z perform. This blog was viewed about 73,000 times in 2012. If it were a concert at the Barclays Center, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
Mini Cupcake Mint Tins
Had to blog these 2 cute mini cupcake mint tins. Again these 2 friends know me too well and chose the perfect gift for a cupcake lover. Thanks Wendy for the cute pink and blue tin with its mini mints that really taste like cupcake icing, I love that you brought this back all the way from America for me and now I can have the flavour of frosting as the Americans say without eating a whole cupcake – just love them! Thanks Tracy for the minty surprise of these tiny mints last night and after a week of semi-madness I needed the thought on this tin….Stay Calm and Eat a Cupcake!

Creative Calligraphy Hands
Instead of squiggles on cupcakes, today I am spending some time on my sqiggles on paper. My calligraphy skills have been a little neglected over the last few months so today I am spending some ME time with Gill, Lisa and my pens. Gill has been blessed with having the most exquisite writing whether she is doing calligraphy or just writing and I was inspired by her writing to do a course with her and try and learn this beautiful art. I love it but have a long way to go and loads to practise! Thank you Gill for being so patient, so generous with your knowledge and such a peaceful and special person to be around………. Back to cupcakes tomorrow.
Chocolate Roses for an Irish Rose
I couldn’t resist trying out my new chocolate moulding skills on the cupcakes I made for Catherine’s birthday. She loves chocolate and the roses and butterflies looked really pretty on the chocolate cupcake with coffee icing. The coffee iced cupcakes are wonderful as a gift because as you open the box you get the most wonderful coffee aroma from the cupcakes just perfect to delight all the senses. Happy Birthday Catherine.
Winter Market Day Cupcakes
The weather warmed up just a few degrees for us on Saturday and the sun came out and it was a lovely day for us all at Second Cup. Thanks to Ed and Teigh, who were my cupcake scivvies for the morning, I had a beautiful cupcake display and sold out of cupcakes. Everyone loved them and I had one gentleman come back to me and say that his cupcake was the best he had ever tasted so that completely made my day. Thanks to all my friends who supported me and to all the Second Cupppers who worked so hard to make the day such a success.
