If you're Lucky............

Guinness & Bailey's cupcakes are available year round, but I start to really crave them around St Patrick's Day. I did a little experimenting and filled the Chocolate Guinness cupcakes with a chocolate ganache flavored with Jameson's whiskey. The result was amazing. To make it perfect- a pint of Guinenss Draught or a hot Irish coffee.

1st Birthday

A couple from Oakland ordered cupcakes for their son's 1st birthday.
It was fun to make these cupcakes, given some the flavor choices were Birthday and Bubblegum. The cake featured in the photo is homemade, provided by the couple, looks amazing. I think they look great together!

What great photos!! But I can't take credit for them. They were taken by the father of the birthday boy. His name is Gani Pinero and he's an amazing photographer.

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet my new frosting assistant Parisa. Not only does she love cupcakes just as much as I do, but she can frost them beautifully as well!
