Tastes just like...............

I'm finally learning that I should show you pictures of our seasonal specials before we end the season :) Here are the lovely 'Candycane' cupcakes that flew right out the door as soon as they were frosted. These cupcakes were the perfect addition to the Holiday festivities- I personally love being able to enjoy the best parts of eating a candycane without having to pick all the gooey pieces of sticky candy from your teeth or flossing for 2 hours. And of course you gotta love the frosting that turned out just the way I hoped- Red & White and pepperminty! I hope you enjoy the rest of 2010 and of course, we have a lot of fun filled surprises for all you cupcake connoisseurs out there... Thanks for a great 2010 and stay tuned for 2011!

Sweet 18

Who says 16 is sweeter than 18? This picture was sent from a customer on her daughter's 18th birthday. Looking at her made me want to redo my 18th birthday ( how cool would it be to have a tower full of cupcakes?!!). And the long candles are the perfect touch~

Oakland Sailboat House

Last week we catered a birthday party at the Lake Merritt Sail Boat House.

It's so awesome to deliver our cupcakes to locations that have always struck my curiosity.
I only remember seeing the outside of this building while in route to rent a paddle boat. The view from the inside was amazing and perfect for celebrating big birthday's, this one being a special 70th birthday bash~

Until Next Year......(boo!)

We were so nuts that I totally forgot to show you what our Halloween edition actually looks like. The theme was totally cooler than I expected ( considering this was the first year doing a Halloween theme). I really got into the spirit while decorating all the dozens of orange & black goodies. Of course now that Halloween is already over I'm already thinking of next year's theme!

~Haunted Boardwalk, Candycorn, Pumpkin~

Lake Merritt Wedding

We catered a wedding at the Lake Merritt Hotel last weekend. Let me tell you, it's just gorgeous! It's been wonderful catering weddings in lovely places like this that I have never previously come across. I like the simplicity and elegance of the room that the cupcakes were served. A very classic touch~

Cupcakes at the Duinsmur

We catered an event at the Dunsmuir Estate over Labor day weekend. This place is truly a hidden jewel, definitely not your average mansion. Of course I could not really capture how lush and gorgeous it was as I was working. As I was setting up I realized this was my last strawberry cupcake order of the year- but no tears, I know those berries were the perfect touch. But the season is changing. That means pumpkins will soon be entering my kitchen again, yummy. Stay tuned for our fall seasonal specials and enjoy these last beautiful sunny days of summer~

Who takes the cake?

If you like cupcakes, and I mean really like cupcakes enough to read about them, become fans of cupcakeries nationwide, then you must know about 'Cupcakes Take the Cake'. Why, this is literally the online encyclopedia for cupcake businesses. Well, I was sipping my coffee on morning and clicked on their site to find yours truly, an article on James and The Giant Cupcake.
~Take a look here~
I'm super happy to be represented on this site that I love so much!

Wedding at Muir Beach

This past weekend was spent catering a wedding at the Pelican Inn, which is located at Muir Beach. Anybody who's been there knows that it's absolutely charming. And you cant beat being 10 minutes away from one of the many gorgeous beaches in Northern California. The bride and groom chose Sea Salt Caramel, Red Velvet and Strawberry as their flavors. If you're wondering what the lavender cupcakes are- just our traditionalRed Velvet cupcakes with the requested lavender frosting, a lovely touch~
