Southwestern Themed Cupcakes

Well, these will be the last cupcake order I will be completing before I head on out to Chicago for Pastry School.  My friend was having a southwestern themed party for a friend who is moving to New Mexico.  The invitations had avocados and green chili peppers on them, so she wanted to incorporate that into the cupcake decorations.  In the end, I took the liberty of adding the small red flower... I just thought it needed a pop of another color, other than green.  These were a lot of fun to make!  That's one reason that I love this profession so much- every order is unique and a challenge and it never gets boring :)

OC Cupcake Camp

I will be participating in the OC Cupcake Camp today.  It's a great organization- they are non-profit and all proceeds from the event are going El Pozo, an organization that works towards ending Human Trafficking in Mexico.  Many bakers, both professional and amateur, will be donating hundreds upon hundreds of cupcakes.  Praying that it will be a successful event and that numerous people will show up to donate to this great cause.

Here are a couple pictures of the cupcakes that I will be bringing.
