I have been living in California for about a month now and I haven't had the opportunity to meet very many people. I decided to solve that problem and spread some love, so I baked mini Valentine's Day cupcakes for everyone in my apartment complex and delivered them door to door.
I baked two flavors of mini cupcakes, rose & red velvet. I wasn't impressed with the rose flavor. Everyone rants and raves about them on the internet, but I don't agree. I personally think that floral nodes should stay in soaps. I was very happy with the red velvet. I chose red velvet because it's Valentine's day, I love cream cheese frosting and well, who doesn't love red velvet?
I topped each cupcake with a little rose that I made out of fondant. If the rose flavored cupcakes were any good, it would have been a clever theme!
Then I placed each cupcake into a tiny white box. The mini cupcakes fit perfect. I tied a pink ribbon around each box and attached my business card. I was very pleased with the result!
My friend, Lisa, created my logo and business cards. She is amazing! I am so happy with the way they turned out. Lisa is very talented. You should check out her blog! She designs wedding invitations, baby announcements, etc. http://www.lisanicholedesigns.com/index.html
Harrison and I headed out to meet the neighbors and wish all of them a Happy Valentine's Day! We didn't make it through the entire complex because Harrison is heavy, but we will finish up tomorrow.
All in all, it was a good day and I accomplished my goal. I met some of my neighbors, I got my name out there and hopefully I will get to have an excuse to bake and design more cakes soon! I hope everyone enjoys the tasty treats!
