Jadon turns 3 with Wall E Cupcakes!!

Wall E is all the rage :)

Jadon, one of the cutest little guys I have ever met, just turned 3 years old!! For the birthday bash, Wall E cupcakes were needed!!

Being in love with everything Disney and all Pixar/Disney movies, it was a ton of fun to make these cupcakes!

The flavors ordered were:

Guava with Cream Cheese Frosting
Coconut with Coconut Buttercream
Signature Chocolate (Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Bean Buttercream)
Strawberry with Vanilla Bean Buttercream

Each flavor had a different colored frosting (Wall E themed, of course!) The colors were matched to Wall E's body, Eve's eyes, etc.!

I am really pleased with how they came out and especially to hear how much Jadon and the birthday party goers enjoyed them :)









Have a great day!

Fletcher/Brown Wedding Cupcakes!

Hey Everyone!

We were recently hired to cater a wedding being held at Cypress Grove Park in Orlando, FL!

Stacy ordered three different flavors;
Carrot Cake with Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Frosting
Red Velvet Cake with Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Frosting
Yellow Cake with Vanilla Bean Buttercream

She also wanted to put a frosting rose on top of each of the cupcakes and we decided to match the colors of her bouquet (Orange, Red, and Fuschia)! We designated a flavor with a specific color of rose; Carrot Cake had the orange roses while Red Velvet had red and Yellow had Fuschia!

In order to go along with tradition, we created a "cutting cake" for them to cut and feed each other at the reception!

Here are some pictures of the cakes! Enjoy :)









As I mentioned before, it was such a blast working on these cupcakes and I was honored to be a part of their special day!

Congratulations Stacy and Mario :)

Read All About It!

Hey everyone!

Happy Friday :) Recently, Confetti Cupcakery has been mentioned and written about on two separate occassions by two websites I read on a daily basis!

The first is with the amazing all things cupcake blog, Cupcakes Take The Cake



The post is in regards to our Guava/Cream Cheese and Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes being offered as a dessert item at El Coqui Mexicano!

You can read it here!



The second and most recent comes from Metromix Orlando

Metromix Orlando describes themselves as the following:

"your one-stop local entertainment guide on where to go and what to do in Orlando, from the hottest restaurants and bars, to the latest in events, music, movies, style, and TV."

The article, which talks about the Lake Eola Farmers Market (Downtown Orlando), also gives a shout out to Confetti Cupcakery and the variety of flavors we offer every Sunday!

You can check it out here!!

Unfortunately, due to the Spring Festival in Downtown Orlando, the market will be closed, but have a great weekend and we'll see you soon!

Our Newest Business Venture!

Hey!

I would like to announce that our cupcakes are now being offered at El Coqui Mexicano on the corner of Bumby and Washington in Downtown Orlando, FL!

For those who are unfamiliar with this place, it is a newly opened restaurant by our friends Rico and Evelyn Martinez. They are our neighbors at the Farmers Market and have done so well there over the past few years, they have opened up their own restaurant. The menu includes authentic Mexican and Puerto Rican foods (You won't find Burritos here!)

For dessert, they are now offering our popular Guava and Cream Cheese Cupcakes as well as our Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes!

Guava and Cream Cheese Cupcakes:

Moist Vanilla Cake infused with pieces of Guava paste and sweetened slightly with a home made guava syrup! The cake is topped off with a Vanilla Cream Cheese frosting and a small piece of guava! It really is heaven!



Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes:

Dark chocolate cake flavored with Ancho Chile Powder, Chipotle Chili Powder, and Cinnamon! The Cake is frosted with a Dark Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting and topped with Mexican Chocolate pieces and a dash of Chiptole Chili Powder!









Both cupcakes are the perfect way to end a meal at El Coqui Mexicano!! They are also available for take home and custom orders with their private parties!

Have a great day!

A Year In Pictures!

Hey everyone!

So it turns out that one of our most unusual flavors; Chocolate and Bacon, has actually turned into one of our most popular! They are always the first to sell out at the farmers market! I mean, whats not to love about combining two of America's favorite flavors together: Pork and Dark Chocolate??

Our Chocolate and Bacon cupcakes are described as follows:

A rich, moist Chocolate Cake with finely chopped salted-hickory smoked bacon baked in, all frosted with a Deep Dark Chocolate Buttercream! To top it off, we add a small strip of chocolate covered bacon!

I must say, Joseph (pictured below) took his love for the Chocolate and Bacon cupcake to a whole new level! Here he is, standing in front of the Beer and Wine Garden at the market, taking a self portrait with his newly purchased cupcake!

After he ate the cupcake, he explained that he was doing a year of his life in pictures and a Chocolate and Bacon cupcake was worthy of recognition! :)



Everyone come by for a taste of some great and *unique* flavors!!

Upgrade :)

So it was just three weeks ago when I was thinking that I needed a car to place the awesome cupcake license plate on! My 97 Honda Accord just wasn't doing it for me anymore! Besides, it really was time to move on!

Chris and I looked around and decided on the Saturn Vue!



Doesn't the license plate look perfectly displayed now?

It's Finally Here!

Hey Everyone!

First of all, I have a ton of pictures from a few birthday party orders and a post about our newest business venture, so I should be putting those up within the next few days! :)

Second, I just had to post this great picture because I'm so excited about it! I finally bit the bullett and ordered a personalized license plate last month! I was informed that it would take around three months to get, but I was pleasantly surprised when it showed up on Saturday only a month later

Not only do I have my first Florida license plate, but it displays...CUPCAKE!!



Happy Tuesday and check back soon for more posts!
