A Sweet Anniversary

A friend of mine and one of my loyal customers just celebrated she and her husband's 2-year wedding anniversary last week. I am so happy for them and I wanted to make something sweet for them to show that how much I care about her in person and her business to me.  She is such a freindly person and on top of it; she is very creative and organized too.  Becase of these gifts, she decided to open her own wedding planning business, On the Dot Event Planning. I am sure she could help the bride (and the groom) to take away a lot of stressful moments for preparing their perfect wedding.

I know she likes pink (that's the theme color at her wedding) and girly stuffs, so I designed and created a white cake pops and oreo cake pops dipped in pink candy melt (they are a heart shape cake pops) and dark chocolate as their anniversary gift.  Want to see how they celebrated their anniversary, please check out her blog, here.

Note:  If you are interested in ordering cake pops, please contact me for inforamtion=)

Nurse Appreciation Cupcakes

I made some cupcakes for a friend of mine and her sister this weekend.  Her sister is a nurse and I wanted to say thank you and also tell her sister and her fellow nurses at the hospital how I appreciate their hard work and service.

We always think of nursing as giving medicines on time, checking an X-ray to see if the doctor needs to be called, or taking an admission at 2:00am, with a smile on their faces.  Too often, we forget all the other things that nurses also provide, which are caring and having desire to make a difference.

Here are some meaningful quotes from real nurses I found online, they are good reminders to remind ourselves to appreciate others, who take care of us when we are in need:

"Our job as nurses is to cushion the sorrow and celebrate the joy, everyday, while we are 'just doing our jobs.'"
- Christine Belle, RN, BSN


"…although the days are busy and the workload is always growing, there are still those special moments when someone says or does something and you know you’ve made a difference in someone’s life. That’s why I became a nurse."
- Diane McKenty, Renal Health Nurse (RN)


"Nursing is an art:  and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation, as any painter's or sculptor's work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God's spirit?  It is one of the Fine Arts:  I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts."  
- Florence Nightingale

Alice in Wonderland Themed Cupcakes

There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger!

Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter.

---from the Mad Hatter in 2010 Alice in Wonderland's Movie.
Over the weekend, I made a set of Alice in Wonderland themed cupcakes.  They are just too cute to look at.  I recalled when I was a little kid, one of my uncles always called me Alice...I did seriously think about changing my name to Alice in the past, but well, I think my name suits me better though! 

Tell us what your favourite characters are and we might do a set of themed cupcakes and post it here just for you and your "eyes" to look at!
