Small Business Saturday

If you are participating in Small Business Saturday, the day after Black Friday, please think about giving the gift of cupcakes!

Also, just in time for the Holidays, we are offering gift boxes of truffles.

Don't come empty handed to Holiday parties, bring the host or hostess a box of truffles.  For a limited time,  order 12 chocolate truffles (your choice of flavors) for $18.  Much cheaper than Godiva plus they are handmade!

Nautical Baby Shower Cupcakes

This weekend I made nautical cupcakes for a baby shower.  The little boy's room is decorated in sailboats so I made coordinating cupcakes.

Nautical cupcakes for a boy's baby shower: anchor, seashell & sailboat.

Contact us at charlottecupcakecousins@gmail.com to order.

Note:  We will be closed until Dec 1.  Please place your Holiday orders soon as we are almost full!

The other half of the birthday cupcake order from this weekend was a red velvet cupcake with cream cheese icing, a purple chocolate flower and green chocolate leaves.

Halloween cupcakes

We had fun decorating various cupcakes for Halloween.

Cars birthday cake

Last weekend I made a cars movie cake for a second birthday.

Bowling for cupcakes

Here are cupcakes I made for a bowling birthday party.

It's hard to see in the picture, but there are chocolate chips on the bowling balls that are the holes were your fingers go.

Pumpkin & fall cupcakes

Last week I had an order for mini pumpkin cupcakes and fall themed cupcakes.  The pumpkins are mini cupcakes topped with donut holes.  They were delish, even if I do say so myself!

Mini pumpkin cupcakes plus coconut cupcakes.

Birthday cupcakes

Last week I had an order for birthday cupcakes for a work birthday party. Their only request was chocolate so I figured I would add a little turquoise since that's what I do.

Jungle birthday party

Last weekend was our friend William's first birthday. It was a jungle theme so we made a giraffe smash cake and lion, tiger, monkey and zebra cupcakes.

Garden cupcakes

As part of the Elizabeth home tour, I made these mini garden cupcakes for a dinner on Saturday night.

Hydrangea cupcakes

As part of the Elizabeth home tour, I made hydrangea for one of the houses. When I heard this house had turquoise bar stools, I knew I needed to do something turquoise.

Here are the Eliz bumper sticker cupcakes I made for one of the houses on the Elizabeth home tour.

Graduation cupcakes

Yesterday, I made cupcakes for a graduation party. Congrats to Brad for getting his MBA.

Black & White Cupcakes and Cake Pops

Whew, what a weekend!  Thanks to Jen from Soiree Charlotte, we had our largest order to date: 150 cupcakes and 200 cake pops.  It was for a bar mitzvah for twin boys.  The theme was black & white so my cupcakes and cake pops were made accordingly.
