Brae Howard Photography

Brae is a talented photographer that shot Kendra & Alex's wedding, for which I made the cake and cupcakes. She was kind enough to pass along some shots that included the treats!

Turtle cupcakes!

These things are killing it. I swear I find a new favorite every month. My friend and aerial student Nyssa wanted to order a treat for her Mom, who loved turtle candies. We came up with this concoction - chocolate cake filled with caramel. The clincher for this is the frosting. I candied pecans and used them to top the 'cakes, along with finely chopping them up and adding them to that browned butter cream cheese frosting I love so much. Unreal.

Oh and some chocolate shavings and caramel on top too. of course. 

Fall Baby Shower

One of my dear friends, Kelly, was arranging a baby shower for her cousin and wanted to include some fall themed cupcakes. They decided on pumpkin with browned butter cream cheese frosting and vanilla with spiced frosting - great choices! That browned butter frosting is my absolute favorite thing right now! I matched the green/blue/brown color scheme and Kelly made the acorns out of Hershey kisses and mini Nutter Butters (my sister originally saw this great idea on Pinterest - thank you!)

The Junior League of Philadelphia - Taste of Fall Event 2012

I was honored to be a part of the Taste of Fall Event this October which benefitted the Junior League's efforts to bring food education throughout the city. That handsome man above is Billy, my boyfriend, who happily stayed to represent Nutmeg when I had to leave for work. The event seemed to be a succes, both for the Junior League and Nutmeg! Not a cupcake was left in sight (we should have brought more) and many people had their first Nutmeg treat. Flavors included: Chocolate PB, Pumpkin Spice, Spiced Vanilla Bean and Double Chocolate - all in mini form! Angela from MainLineDish.com even included us in a great article about the day:

Milano Cake

Homemade vanilla pastry cream and Milano cookie crumbles between 

four layers of vanilla cake frosted in chocolate buttercream.

Yum.

Happy Birthday Teresa & Ange! xoxo

Wedding Dress cookies

These cookies were made as favors for a Bridal shower. Each got a final touch of gold and were individually wrapped before they headed out to surprise Lisa!

Vanilla Beans take a dip.....

I was going to start soaking my vanilla beans in Bourbon, but then I remembered

how great this Snap liquor is and how seasonally appropriate it is! In went the beans!

Snap is made with the same flavors of a gingersnap - ginger, molasses, clove, nutmeg, etc.

A Very Regal Baby Shower

Happy Birthday Piper!

Happy Wedding Kendra & Alex!

I had the pleasure of baking for the wedding of two PSCA friends that are so very in love!

Both the wedding and "Groom's" (the blue ombre shark lil guy) cake were gluten-free chocolate almond cake with raspberry filling. Her cupcake choices were Raspberry Champagne, Lemon Vanilla, Mint Oreo and Red Velvet - all displayed on the lovely cupcake tower that my brother in law made for Nutmeg! It was a great night and an honor to be a part of it! Congrats you two! xoxoxo
