When Cool Kids Get Married: Sara & Mike

dark chocolate gluten free vegan wedding cupcakes!



Sara contacted me a few months ago with hopes that I could possibly make some delicious gluten free, dairy free cupcakes for her and her man for their wedding day. After a trial run of 1 dozen (it was my first attempt at gluten free cupcakes! I used white rice flour and a bit of xantham gum), Sara thought they were delicious and secured Coco Cake for her and Mike's wedding. Sara sent me their wedding website with some tough and cool engagement photos by Sakura Photography! as seen above! I dig that puddle photo. Cool eh?

I just love doing weddings. It really feels like an honour to be a part of someone's special day. I know I say this a lot but it's a really great feeling!! I'm happy I've found a career (so far-- those who know me know I have job A.D.D.) that I can be stoked on: creativity, FOOD, and working with people... pretty dreamy. Another dream job I had like ten years ago was to be a lipstick namer. That seems like it would be really fun. Cherry Overcast Day, Malibu Peach Bikini, Purple Moon...

The last picture is of the cupcakes on their fancy white stand, all decked out, set up and ready to be chomped in a wedding-happy fervor. Happy happy wedding times Sara and Mike! All the best to you!

Party! Panda Party!








My friend Helen sent me this hilarious link to the game "Pizza Party". Doesn't that look like the worst game ever? So boring!!! What a catchy song can do for marketing, I tell ya... but admittedly a pizza party is my favourite kind of party because I loooove pizza!

Happy Happy Birthday dear Rita! I hope you loved the panda bears... and that their eyes were far enough apart to be extra extra cute for you!!!

Little Avah's Birthday-- Pink Party Time!






I love these kawaii pink color-themed cuteness for Peach Mei's sweet little niece Avah! Berry Good cupcakes topped with vanilla buttercream and little fondant fanciness. I love people who have fruit as their names. I jokingly (only half-jokingly?) thought Lemon would be a cute name for a little girl. Maybe for three seconds only. Though then I thought, maybe people would think SHE was a lemon, like a car can be a lemon (ie, a crappy car.) But Lemon is so bright and cheerful and such a fresh and lovely sounding name! Kind of reminds me of how this girl thought my name was Sun, because when she met me I had been wearing a bright yellow dress. Color association! Well, and that my last name is Sung, and "Sun" could be a Chinesey-ish name, non? How the mind works in mysterious ways!

Lemon Sung! Cute, right?

Ahhh, I'll just stick to naming cupcakes for now...
