Happy 8 Years!

I've been a little slow in posting pictures lately. I am sorry. Things have been a little chaotic. Anyway, Samantha contacted me recently and asked me to "surprise" her with some anniversary cupcakes. She was non specific about what she wanted. Which believe it or not, is very scary and exciting for me. I always worry that what I think is nice, might not always be carried over to the customer. The only real direction Samantha gave me was, "Can I go with chocolate ones please, with some different decorations, hearts and such, it's our 8 year anniversary". Her excitement over the arrival of these cakes was amazing and I knew I had to do something special for her. This was the end result. Can I say when I finished making these, I was so excited with the end result, I was dancing round the kitchen!! I just love these. And luckily so did Samantha. Happy 8 years Samantha & Aaron.

Thank you Shari

A couple of weeks ago Happy Cakes was featured in the wedding edition of the Townsville Eye. Well I just wanted to say thanks again to Shari, and what better way to do that then with some yummy happy cakes. Now I have previously mentioned that these are my most favourite happy cake of all time, yep The Cosmopolitan. I do hope you enjoy them Shari. THANK YOU.

She ruined her sister's cupcakes.....

A little while ago I created some cakes for Renee. Actually I made some cakes for Renee's sister, but you could have been mistaken for thinking they were for her. I've previously mentioned that she is my most fussy, decisive, funny, lovely, gorgeous customer, who I now just adore. This now brings me to Kylie. Kylie phoned me a couple of weeks and ago and basically said she could outdo Renee. Game on I thought!! When we first spoke, she told me that all she has ever wanted was cupcakes for her birthday. No pressure I thought. Like Renee, she was very specific about what she wanted. Pretty, girly, cute, short black hair, "poo" swirl, pink, white, maltese shitzu, grey ears, black eyes, and so on. I think the thing that scared me the most was during one of our conversations, she said to me that, now I can't remember her age at the time (quite young though), it was her sister's birthday and she had a caterpiller for a cake, it was one that was made out of cupcakes. She went on to say that she got jealous of her sister having had cupcakes and not her, so she squashed them all!! By now I'm thinking I have a princess on my hands!! But just like Renee, she was nice, funny, gorgous and lovely. Another customer who I think I totally adore!
I received this e-mail from her this afternoon, I hope you don't mind me posting it Kylie??!! It's just nice to hear lovely things said about my little happy cakes. I'm just so happy that they were loved.
