Cake Central Spotlight

We are so proud to be featured in the first issue of Cake Central magazine. AND we were on two pages. Look how pretty it was...see below. They did a fun activity of asking people to take a picture with their Cake Central magazine when they received it and to post it on their site. These were the photos of me. I was so excited!


Recently Jackie Shaffer was one of our judges at our CupcakeCamp Seattle.
She is pictured below with me and the other fabulous judges in the bottom row on the right side. She is an absolutely a sweetheart AND knows a bit of something about cakes!

Style Your Wedding Cake with Cupcakes

How cute is this idea? The Sugar Rush Baking company recently used our cupcake wrappers in a unique way.

Sugar Rush created a base design for a wedding cake by using our standard size wrappers for a decoration and then had cupcake wrappers to match. But they didn't stop there.....they also decorated the cake to match the design so it all tied in so sweetly. We like their style!!

Red Box Pictures shared all these fabulous photos from this special day. Thanks Red Box and Sugar Rush for making our Bella Cupcake Couture look so sweet!

What makes you happy?

It was so sweet of Mary Beth of Pink Happy Thoughts to ask me just that.

1. Spending time relaxing with my husband and our dog Baxter.
2. Creating special moments through food and celebrations with friends and family.
3. Thinking outside the box and developing something unique.
4. I love to joke around and make people smile/laugh.
5. I enjoy random acts of kindness.

Read the whole blogpost HERE. I didn't mention cupcakes in my top 5 but assumed that was a given. ;)

I also thought it would be fun to ask all my readers....what makes you the happiest? I'd love to see your thoughts in the comments below.
