My First Big Gig

I am pleased to announce that I have successfully survived my first big cupcake gig. I was hired by my job to make 250 cupcakes for our one year anniversary in our new building. Holy cupcakes, is what you are probably thinking. I will admit this was a very daunting task, how was I to make 250 cupcakes in my kitchen while my 20 month year old is still awake, thank goodness for the baby gate :)

I decided to make four different flavors, vanilla with vanilla bean buttercream, chocolate with chocolate fudge frosting, red velvet with mascarpone cream cheese frosting and lemon with luscious lemon frosting. I also decided to top each of the cupcakes with a cupcake topper that I made with my new cricut machine that I purchased which I absolutely love. I even bought the cake mini so stay tuned for some fun decorate cupcakes. The cupcake toppers were designed to mesh with our CPI theme that our job is highly invested in. For those of you that don't know what CPI is, it stands for Continuous Process Improvement.

I will admit that everything worked out perfectly despite the fact that I only got 1 and 1/2 hours of sleep, it was well worth it. I even booked two weddings out of the deal, you can't beat that. It's really exciting to know that possibly a dream can become a reality.

Hope everyone that had my cupcakes enjoyed the event.
