More monkey cupcakes and cupcake baby rattles

Here are some monkey cupcakes I did a while back as practice. This was the original colors and monkey for the baby shower I just did (posted somewhere below) but the colors and monkey face changed before the actual day arrived months later. When they asked for a monkey I knew I would practice because I hadn't done those before. I just wanted to see if I could make it look like a monkey. I said no (I am my worst critic) and everyone else said yes. This was also around the same time I was trying out the baby rattles and turned these into rattles too. I think the rattle idea is adorable. Not just with these but with any design you want. I have a different design on them I posted a while back. I just think it is a super cute idea for baby showers. So here are some more monkey cupcakes...

Baseball cupcakes x 23 dozen

I was asked a while ago to do a baseball themed cupcake to which I immediately said yes and did a practice batch (you've seen those on here in a past post). Then a few weeks ago I was asked if I could up the amount to 23 dozen to which I immediately started sucking my thumb while curled into the fetal position (just kidding!!). I had never done that many in one set before so I was wondering how it would go and where I would go with that many cupcakes in the kitchen. So with a little nervousness I started baking. I found a system right away that kept it running smooth and it ended up working out perfectly.
Here are some pictures I took while I was decorating...

loading them up to deliver

After I get done baking I always ALWAYS take a picture of the set of cupcakes to put on here. I have a picture of every set of finished cupcakes I have ever made. I was so upset the day I delivered them because I realized I did not take a picture of the finished cupcakes all together. The only ones I had were the couple of cellphone pictures I had taken to send my cousin and a couple of me making the baseballs (all the pictures above). After I told them this the wonderful ladies sent me a couple of pictures for me to see how they looked when they were set up on the table. I was so happy to be able to see this. I thought the whole thing turned out so cute and they did a great job with the theme AND I got a picture to put on here. YAY!!

Flower Cluster Cupcakes

One of my favorite (and I think one of the prettiest) designs to do on the cupcakes is this one. I think it is one of those that always turn out pretty no matter what colors you are using. I call it a flower cluster because that is what it reminds me of. Others might not think so but it is what I see when looking at it :)

Fun bullseye cupcakes

Lions, Frogs, and Monkey cupcakes!!

Baby shower time!! Some friends of mine asked me to do the cupcakes for a baby shower of one of our friends. She is having a precious baby boy in May. Today was the big day. I wish I had a picture of how they decorated the hall. It was so cute and the cupcakes ending up matching their decorations great!

A caterpillar cake for my baby

I tried to do something fun for my sons 3rd birthday and thought this turned out adorable!! The kids really loved it.

Cupcake bouquet for a special lady

My mother in law asked me to make something for one of her best friends who is turning 80 years old tomorrow. She is such a sweet and funny lady that I have grown to adore since meeting my husband so I was excited to do this for her. I pretty much could do what I wanted so I decided to make her a bouquet of birthday flowers that she and her friends could enjoy :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TINY!!!

Ready for summer cupcakes

I sat here forever trying to decide what path I wanted to go in with these cupcakes. I love when people say "just whatever you want to do" when they order. One it makes me feel great that they trust that I will come up with something good and two it gives me a little freedom to play around with colors and design. So after I got started I knew I wanted to do the orange and white. It reminds me of creamsicle and I think it is a pretty combo. After that I was stumped on what would go good with that. So I ended up going with the colors of sherbet and I loved how they turned out. The design is one of my favorites to do. I think it always turns out pretty. So I loved these. They make me think of summer and if there is one thing I like thinking about right now it is warm weather!! I am ready for it!

Hydrangea cupcakes in different colors.

Love this flower!

Having fun with my mother in laws cake

For my mother in laws birthday I decided to make a cupcake cake. I didn't have much time to put it all together and didn't remember to take the picture until I was loading it into the box so it isn't a very pretty picture but wanted to throw it on here anyway.
Can you tell what one of her main interests is? :)

Finally some cupcakes!

An order from last week
Something about chocolate, lots of icing, and oreos all together makes me very happy.

Last of the love bugs for now :)
