A modest start...

I live to be creative. I love arts, crafts, photography, diy home projects, anything really that requires a creative edge and detailed eye. Once I began applying this to cupcakes I was hooked! Making delicious, cupcakey treats for any (and every) occasion became intensely satisfying. Several things lead to my discovery of this passion, beginning with my bff A. A, one of the most crafty people I know, and I were put forth with the task of designing the groom's cake for her wedding. A knew she wanted it to be Harry Potter themed, Dr. Pepper flavored and decked out in fondant. Needless to say, we made that happen and the outcome was quite fabulous. This gave me my first experience ever with working with fondant, and I was pleased to find how fun and easy it was! Another contributor was my love of a theme. Themes please me immensely. And parties. A party with a theme? Perfection. My best gals in the Big D and I were having a sleepover... and being a lover of themes and parties, I made cupcakes. Decorated cupcakes. With boxed icing. Boxed cake. And a gel decorating pen. And thus began my modest start....

I began this blog at the instance of a close friend, whose determination far surpasses my own. Welcome to the chronicling of my cupcake adventures... enjoy!
