Cupcakes – Cake & Cupboard

Dainty Dogwood Cupcakes

One of my favorite trees is the Dogwood tree. They have the most beautiful delicate blossoms and I love seeing them in bloom. Even though the gorgeous blossoms will only last for so long, you can enjoy these dainty Dogwood cupcakes year round! These little chocolate Dogwood blossoms are the perfect size for topping a cupcake, and floral decorations work for so many different occasions. I think these would be lovely with white frosting for a rustic wedding cupcake tower. As always I am a big fan of making chocolate decorations because they are tasty and can be made in advance, so on the days leading up to to your event all you have to worry about is perfecting your cupcake recipe and frosting.

Pink and Black Dessert Table

Dessert bars are so much fun, I knew I couldn’t resist when my friend, Amanda, told me she wanted one for her 30th birthday. I was completely sold on it once she told me the colors were hot pink and black! This was the first dessert table I had ever done, so I put a lot of time into baking and planning.
