Foodie Friday—Cupcakes!

Yes! It’s Friday; and, I’m happy to post about the latest cupcakes I’ve made. I absolutely love making cupcakes (even though I didn’t get to eat any of these). Making cupcakes is so much fun for me; and I love everything about making cupcakes—from using different color cupcake wrappers, choosing the frosting color, and lastly, using them for my cupcake topper photo-shoots.

While I was planning how I was going to make this cupcakes I thought, perhaps some people would love to see how I go about making them and here’s how I do it!

First, I flip through one of my favorite magazines, The FoodNetwork Magazine, and decide which color I’d like to use. I have a special issue that has a list of icing colors and the amount of food coloring drops needed to acquire the color I may desire; and, for this project I wanted to use the color Jordan Almond—which is listed at 12 drops of blue food coloring with 1 drop of red food coloring per 1 cup of icing. 

Second, I add two cups of store bought (non-creamy icing) to a bowl, add 24 blue food coloring drops and 2 red food coloring drops then mix. 

Third, I grab my wonderful collection of assorted cupcakes, and choosing my favorite ones. 

Lastly, I pipe the cupcakes and get them ready for their photo-shoot! I made new cupcake toppers using a cloud shaped craft punch, and hand stamped, hand cut toppers using my favorite stamps by Lawn Fawn. Aren't they super cute?

Photo-shoot days are always fun but adding cupcakes to the mix makes them even more exciting and I’m glad I was able to share this with you. If you'd like to purchase some of these adorable cupcake toppers they'll be available in my shop very soon. I hope you have a perfect Friday! Enjoy your weekend :-D 

New Items for My Shop and Upcoming Projects

Hello everyone! Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve written in my virtual pages. I’ve been so busy with large orders, new ideas, holidays, and birthdays—and when I did have any down time I’d spend it catching up on sleep. My shop has been growing a lot this month, and for that I am very thankful. My shop has turned from a part-time job into a full time job, and I’m trying to get adjusted to it all. I have new ideas for D.I.Y. projects for the upcoming holidays, and I wish I could just share them with you all right now, but I have to wait! For now, I thought I’d just show you some of my new items, and things that have been keeping me busy.

First is my new purse design. As I’ve mentioned a time or two before, I used to own another shop that was dedicated to purses only. I used to make messengers, totes, oversized bags, clutches, and cosmetic bags until I made my new shop Unify that would be a collaboration of everything that I enjoy making. One of the new projects that have been keeping me busy is designing new purses, and this is one of them.

Next,are a few new items in my shop.

Here is a project I’ve been working on—it’s one of my new cupcake boxes that can hold 4 cupcakes! I’m also in the process of building a new set of cupcake boxes that will be perfect for parties and holidays, I can’t wait to show you the entire finished product.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my new ideas and new shop items. Stay tuned for more things to come! I can’t wait to show you!
