Recently I was asked to make unicorn goodies for a bachelor party, as the bachelor in question is a big fan of unicorns. Initially I was just asked to make cupcakes, but when I mentioned I’d seen a video on how to make unicorn cookies that poop sprinkles and had […]
Oink, oink! One of the orders I’ve done in the last few months was a super-cute one: pink piggies! These were for a little girl’s 4th birthday. The request was, “She is obsessed with anything pink, and dislikes anything not pink….do you get the theme there? Extra points if it is […]
*Bunneh Test Kitchen* Last year, I made some baby Groot cupcakes just for kicks, because I saw some online and was inspired. This Halloween, I had some friends who were dressing up as Starlord and Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy, and dressing their baby as Rocket Raccoon. They asked […]

I have a coworkerfriend (that is a word, I promise) who is obsessed with chiffon cupcakes. He’d never had them before, but saw them on The Food Network, and asked me for months to make them. He’s now… even more obsessed. Turns out, they’re pretty good. The cake is lighter and […]
