You are the icing on my cupcake!

May 26, 2009, a warm and sunny beautiful day after a Memorial Day weekend, Mr. G and I both took a day off after the long weekend. This day, we went to a very special place in Santa Ana - a place that is going to change our lives forever.

It was an exciting day to both of us; I got to admit that I even got butterflies in my stomach.  We got there around 11 in the morning; we got called not for so long and walked in to the office for signing some paper works. We then entered in to a peaceful and quiet room after signing the paper works.  A guy came in to the room and started talking.  I paid close attention to every single word he said; I closed my eyes and realized tears were forming in my eyes - There is no fancy flower arrangements, no beautiful and expensive grown, no six bride mates marching down the aisle with me, no 100+ guests cheering for us...the only one person I saw was the one holding my hands, who was also standing in front of me.  The peaceful and quiet environment made me hear and understand all the words clearly and dearly.

I was slowly but carefully following every words "the guy" said:  I, take you Mr. G, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part. I looked into Chris’s eyes and noticed that tear drops were rolling down from his eyes too. Sooner than we realized, we were announced as Husband and Wife.

Dear Mr. G,

It's hard to believe three years have passed by ridiculously fast.  During these amazing three years, we got to know each other a little better each day; and we get used to each other's all the good and bad habbits.  We might be different in many ways, but we are like two pieces in a jigsaw puzzle because we fit together perfectly.  I just want to let you know how much I love you and will continue loving you till the day we leave the world. 

You are the icing on my cupcake!  Without you, I will be one "naked" cupcake=) 

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=)

Louis Vuitton Inspired Cupcake Toppers

This post is ways overdue...thanks for understanding my busy schedule and allow me to update my post a little bits later than I originally planned.  One of my favorite customers had ordered some Louis Vuitton (LV) cupcakes from me.  I was beyond excited; first of all, Louis Vuitton is girl's best friend (Diamond too).  Secondly, I have never done a challenging project like this in the past.  These are the perfect reasons for me to practice my skills and use my creativity to step on the road of perfection of an ultimate cupcake decorator and baker!

At first, my customer wanted all bags in 3-D.  So I did spend quite a good amount of time of molding each purses (4 different styles [see pictures below] were her original idea). Few days later, my customer told me that she found some very cute LV key chains and they will look great on the cupcakes.  I took a look at the website she sent me...O MY!  They are even cuter than the purses.  The combinations of the colors of each key chains made them really POPPED!!!  After my customer and I talked, we decided making six 3D bags and six 2D toppers.

After about a week and a half of crafting, I could finally deliver to my customer and put a big smile on her face.  It's a great idea to give your girlfriend, your wife or your date these cute LV cupcakes.  Admit that LV bags or even their key chains ($ 450.00 per key chain) are quite pricy, these are more affordable=)
