Petals & Cupcakes

M.I.A.

2009-04-20T15:29:00.000-07:00

Stopping in to say hello! Celebration and wedding season us upon us and I have been s.w.a.m.p.e.d. with cupcake and custom hair flower orders. I will not be posting my custom Hair Petals pieces on Etsy because I simply cannot find the time. What else is new ;)

Rest assured, I am still breathing!!! You know where to find me if you need me.

Enjoy these sunny days.....

Happy Birthday Jasmin!

2009-03-03T09:40:00.000-08:00

I flew to Oregon last week to celebrate the birthday of my gorgeous sister Jasmin. We had a fabulous time that consisted of exploring, feeding chickens & horses, mimosas, bowling, movies, cooking and shopping!

She took me to my favorite deco stores so I could stock up on the most wonderful cupcake supplies. One benefit of shopping in Oregon is: NO TAX! Gotta love it :)

♥ Custom Color Creations ♥

2009-03-02T13:07:00.000-08:00

I have been playing with color tints lately and am pleased with the results. Here are a few custom flowers that I've recently completed. Each of these blooms were hand tinted and crafted by hand for some very lovely ladies. I do have to admit that the purple one is for me. It's rare that I create something especially for me.

Clearly Canadian

2009-02-23T21:29:00.000-08:00

Celine's husband/manager Renee generously gave us VIP tickets to her Taking Chances show at the HP Pavilion here in San Jose. My father and boyfriend were to join my colleague and I, but last minute they were unable to attend. Knowing that I had two extra VIP tickets that would be unused, I decided to *pay it forward* to a mother and daughter that were standing behind me as I entered the arena. They were so excited as they had nosebleed seats wayyyyy at the top. We sat a stones throw away from the stage in the Friends and Family section. Our location was perfect for photo ops! FABULOUS view!

I can honestly say that I really didn't think I knew any of Celine's music. When she started singing I was blown away! This little firecracker was insanely good! She had so much energy and her voice was amazing. Celine's show was incredible and I can honestly say that I enjoyed every minute of it. I definitely was proud to be Canadian! Bravo!

La Vie en Rose

2009-02-19T11:52:00.000-08:00

Life has been sweet in 2009! Despite the terrible economy, people are still treating themselves with delicious sweet treats. Thank you to all for your continued support.

My mom sent me the cutest handmade card for Valentines Day. Isn't it gorgeous??

Revamped Vintage

2009-01-29T14:51:00.000-08:00

A couple of months ago, I introduced a new style of Hair Petals to my shop. Using vintage jewels, fabrics and findings, I thought the only way to describe them is Revamped Vintage. Perfect!!!

Sifting through sparkly jewels in antique stores is a guilty pleasure of mine. I love anything nostalgic and vintage. I'm providing new life to these once worn treasures for you and I to enjoy!

Cupids Kiss - Revamped Vintage

Midnight Moon - Revamped Vintage

Scarlet - Revamped Vintage

On the baking front, things are starting to pick up where the New Year left off. I was out of town for business at the beginning of January only to arrive home with a full calendar of cupcake orders for February. I love my clients, thank you!!!!

2008 was a insanely busy cupcake year for me. I could not seem to juggle my gym time and baking. This year I am trying to balance both and have come to the conclusion that I MUST invest in an elliptical trainer. I am a huge fan of multitasking and can see myself baking while getting my cardio on. To be continued!

New Treasury!

2009-01-24T20:25:00.000-08:00

A warm *Thank You* to Jen of Polestar Jewelry for featuring my Midnight Moon Hair Petals piece in her FABULOUS treasury - Midnight!

Jen is a fellow Estian that designs gorgeous jewelry spun with beauty and charm. Check out her Etsy shop PoleStar Jewelry here!

Saturday Surprise....

2009-01-10T20:31:00.000-08:00

A couple months ago, I noticed that there were Gulf Fritillary Caterpillars feeding on my Passion Vine. Apparently, they only feed on the Passion Vine and in time they will become a chrysalis. Lucky me! Three caterpillars became a chrysalis and I have been checking on them everyday to see their progression.

Today was an usually warm day for mid-January. This morning I went to check on my little friends and noticed that I could see the detailing of a wing through one of the chrysalis. I mentioned this to my BF and he assured me that they still had a long way to go as Spring is a couple months away.

I went about my day and returned to my backyard later in the afternoon only to find the very same chrysalis is now a BEAUTIFUL butterfly. I was stunned! This is January! It's still below 40 degrees at night. How on earth is this beautiful creation going to survive?!? Is this birth a sign of Global Warming? I am floored.

If you would like to see a larger photo of these beauties, just click on the image :)

Here is the beauty herself. Isn't she pretty?

The remaining two chrysalis.....

A Gulf Fritillary Caterpillar feeding on my Passion Vine....

Happy Weekend all!

New Creation

2009-01-04T15:41:00.000-08:00

I just completed the fourth and final piece for a lovely wedding party. This was my first attempt creating a headband piece for a flower girl and I must say I LOVE how it turned out. It has a sweet vintage feel - love it!

Creation Inspirations

2008-12-29T18:43:00.000-08:00

Whether it's baking or creating something pretty I cannot sit still. Ever. It's SUPER rare for me to sit through a movie at home or just simply chill out. Yes, I'm currently on vacation, however that does not mean that I'm just vegging out :)

This week I am working on cupcakes and hair pieces for a New Years Eve event and a few upcoming weddings. How nice is it to provide cupcakes and accessories for one event = fabulous!!

Earlier this year, I started collecting vintage jewelry to use in my Hair Petals pieces. Because my cupcake biz has kept me so busy, I haven't had the time to dedicate to my accessories. I'd like to introduce my Revamped Vintage line from Hair Petals. Here are a few photos of a recent creation.....

In addition to the pieces above, I just completed flowers for a bridal party.

I'm working on an adorable flower girl head piece that should be completed by the weekend. Stay tuned!

A New Year

2008-12-29T08:42:00.000-08:00

I hope that everyone is having a fabulous holiday! It's so nice to have some much needed and well deserved time off. I'm looking forward kicking back and creating some FANTASTIC new Hair Petals pieces. I just completed three custom pieces for a February wedding. Will post photos soon!

Thank you to Happiknits for including my Spice Hair Petals piece in her lovely treasury. I love the pieces that she included. Check out Happiknits Etsy shop for beautiful handknit art! Click here!

Best wishes for a happy and successful 2009! Cheers xoxo

Random Fact

2008-12-11T13:13:00.000-08:00

As of January 2008, I have sold 1,729 cupcakes. That's a whole lot of baking in my itty bitty kitchen.

Happy Holidays!!

2008-12-03T11:29:00.000-08:00

I wanted to check in as I have been M.I.A. for quite sometime. My main PC has crashed and I've been so busy baking and creating that I just haven't had the time to blog.

Last month I finally launched my Mira Cakes menu page. It's been a long time coming, but finally made the time to create it. Click HERE to be transported to cupcake bliss.

With the holidays soon approaching I'm not sure how often I'll be here, but will pop in as much as possible. Happy Holidays to you and yours and best wishes from me to you! Big hugs xoxox

Happy Birthday to my beautiful friend & creative soul~sister Christina! Our girls came together last night to celebrate the life of this lovely lady. These are photos of her special birthday cupcakes that reflected one of her many passions = sunflowers!

I baked my signature Red Velvet cupcakes because my girls love them. The white & dark chocolate sunflowers are handmade by me and dusted with a shimmery luster dust to really bring out the petals. The cupcakes look super elegant and reflect my sweet Christina perfectly.

Dreaming of Dahlias

2008-09-03T00:20:00.000-07:00

A few new Hair Petals in the shop tonight. Dahlias are one of my all time FAVORITE flowers. Today, a gal in my office had a vase of the most STUNNING dark reddish~purple Dahlias. They were so dark that they we almost black. She said that the got them at Trader Joe's of all places. Must make a trip there tomorrow. For now, here are some Dahlias that keep on giving.....

Happy Weekend!

2008-08-31T13:06:00.000-07:00

I finally revamped my Hair Petals shop! My studio setup made such a difference with the product photography. I listed 10 new pieces today and have a LOT of new creations in the works. Here are some photos of my new listed petals.....

Now that's done I have a handful of new cupcake orders to bake for new Willow Glen clients. Us Willow Glen peeps LOVE cuppies. Happy Labor Day everyone.

Enjoy :)

Checking In

2008-08-22T12:25:00.000-07:00

We returned from our lovely vacation less than a week ago and have been in hiding ever since :) Sean and I loved every minute of our adventure and look forward to returning again in 2009. Pura Vida!

In the next few weeks I will be revamping my Hair Petals Etsy shop. Be on the lookout for my new look and beautiful new hair pieces. I have over 20 new Hair Petals that I was unable to post prior to our departure. Now it's back to business!

Late September, I will be selling Mira Cakes for my dear friend Giselle's Team in Training fundraiser at Nirvana Salon in Los Gatos. She will be hosting a Day of Beauty to raise funds for her upcoming TNT marathon. The date is to be determined and I will share all of the details as they come in!

NEWSFLASH ~ I have an opportunity to sell Mira Cakes at a very popular South Bay restaurant. Had a great conversation yesterday with one of the owners of this eatery and this could be BIG. Once things firm up I will share all of the details. :)

On a side note, the thought of the upcoming fall weather has my brain in *holiday mode*. I look forward to decorating my mini *year round tree* ....which will probably be fulled decorated for Halloween in mid - September. I know. I'm bad, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE to deco.

Eight Eight Oh Eight

2008-08-04T07:50:00.000-07:00

Bon Voyage everyone! Sean and I are finally departing for our long awaited get-away. While in paradise, we will be celebrating our 5 year anniversary on 08/08/08. Here's to us, goals accomplished and dreams that came true. Love to love!

Brides & Birthdays

2008-08-03T15:46:00.000-07:00

One final baking session before some well deserved rest and relaxation! Now that my mixer is back on it's shelf I can finally pack my suitcase. NOW I'm getting excited.

Below are cupcakes for two beautiful brides that are getting married here in the Bay Area. Their wedding colors are pear green and brown, one of my favorite color combinations. They chose my signature Red Velvet and Lemon Poppy Seed for the shower today. Congratulations!

By request, I have been making more cakes for close friends and referrals. I am not good at cake writing whatsoever! Here is a Red Velvet layer cake w/Vanilla Cream Buttercream and chocolate chip sides. Happy Birthday to my friend Derek's Dad "Willie"!

Midsummer Days

2008-07-29T21:26:00.000-07:00

The Sfetsy Trunk show was a success! A big thanks to Linda from LindaDavisDesigns for hosting and all the team members who showcased their creative goods! My highlights from the show....

Having numerous friends come by to show their support. Love you all!

Seeing fellow SFetsy members once again and meeting new ones :)

Assisting lovely Kim with her friends bridal shower cupcakes while helping her choose a Hair Petals piece for the wedding.

Meeting a lovely Yelper named Jane who came just for the cuppies :)

Assisting a soon-to-be bride with cupcakes for her rehersal dinner in September.

Turning around only to find your closest South Torrance classmate from 3rd to 5th grade for the first time in over 20 years. Random, but heartwarming!

Taking a photo with your long lost friend to remember this moment.

My boyfriend Sean trying to reformat my new digital camera, but instead erases every single photo taken at the show. Including the one of my friend and I. Booooo!

A warm hug to Christina of Christina Williams Designs for gifting me these beautiful handmade cards in my favorite color.

I have been playing with a new technique using wire wrapped beads and crystals. Fellow SFEtsy member Linda Davis was my true inspiration as I fell in love with all of her wired wrapped hair combs and head pieces. I have about 20 new Hair Petals pieces to post in my shop, but I am unsure if I will have time before we leave for tropical paradise.

We are very excited for our little getaway to celebrate our 5 year anniversary and visit with my best friend in her new home in CR. I am making some tropical themed Hair Petals that she will be selling in her shop Urban Eclectic in Tamarindo. Five more days and counting. Lots to do!

Trunk Show - Reminder

2008-07-08T14:15:00.001-07:00

My Personal Garden of Eden

2008-06-16T20:25:00.000-07:00

~My first Dahlia of the season~

I'm a former L.A. girl that has fallen absolutely head over heels for the Bay Area. I love everything about it. The bay, beautiful green trees, mountains full of Redwoods, stunning beaches and mi casita! Sean and I live in a charming little English Tudor home that was built in the 1920's. We are beyond blessed to have such an incredible backyard that provides many delicious edibles.

~Nectarines~

~Oranges~

~Peaches~

~Apricots~

~Apples~

~Passion Vine & Bougainvillea~

~Kings of the Castle~

All of the fruit is delicious as well! The apples are the biggest I've ever seen in my life! They are so large that it only takes me two of them to make a pie. The apricots should be ready early July, with the nectarines following shortly thereafter. Oh my are they sweet! You can expect cobbler, pie and jam blogs from me this summer!

Save the Date ~ SFEtsy Handcrafters Fair July 26th

2008-06-07T10:29:00.000-07:00

I have been M.I.A. on the Hair Petals front as Mira Cakes has kept me so busy. Yesterday I found some BEAUTIFUL new flowers that I will be working with this evening. Think jewel tones ~ purple, ruby, amber, wine. I am looking forward to working something other than my Kitchenaid and pastry bag tonight.

Handcrafters FairSaturday, July 26th ~11:00am - 3:00pm ~
17301 E. Vineland Ave., Los Gatos

Handmade Items from the Heart

Please join the San Francisco Bay Area Etsy Team (SFEtsy) for a local handcrafter's fair taking place at a private home in Los Gatos. There will be a number of different talented artists selling a variety of items.

I will be selling Hair Petals and Mira Cakes and be giving away FREE BROWNIE BITES to anyone who stops by to say hello!

Sean captured this photo for me yesterday. Have a GREAT weekend!

Girly Cakes

2008-06-07T09:47:00.000-07:00

I had a fun filled deco night that ended early this morning. Here are some photos of what I came up with :)

For my friend Tisha's sisters baby shower I did Red Velvet's and Double Strawberry cupcakes. I love how the daisy's came out. I colored the fondant light pink and dusted each flower with a gorgeous iridescent luster dust.

Think PINK! For Shauna's 30th Birthday.

These fun cupcakes are for Amanda's Sex and the City movie night!

Not so girly, but oh so good! Cookies and Cream cupcakes and Double Chocolate. Got milk?

Holy Cupcake!

2008-06-04T19:30:00.000-07:00

I thought I'd never say this but I am cupcaked out! When you're out of school and not surrounded by children, you tend to forget that May and June bring graduations and celebrations. I have twelve cupcake orders in the next week and a half as well as my first cake order. I told myself that I'd never sell my cakes, especially my ice cream cakes, because I like to save them for special occasions, birthdays, etc. My boyfriend Sean has been pressuring me (in a good way) to market my cakes, so when I got a call from a very sweet repeat customer I could not say no.

The baking of Mira Cakes happens AFTER I get home from my aviation job which leaves no ~Miranda~ time :) I am smitten that my cupcake creations are loved....Thank you to all who support this little hobby of mine. Who knows, one day I may just have my own cupcakery here in Willow Glen. For now, jet fuel by day ~ cupcake diva by night.

I have a sweet little order with a fabulous story, but I'll have to wait until next week to share. It's a surprise from one coast to the other and it has to do with l-o-v-e! Hopefully I'll have a photo or two!

The photos shown are some of this weeks orders. Time to go as I have 80 cupcakes that need some Mira deco. Have a fabulous evening!

Domestic Goddess

2008-05-23T21:00:00.000-07:00

This is going to sound very *house~wifey*, but I LOVE kitchenware. Le Creuset, Chicago Metallic, All-Clad, Emile Henry....I would gladly accept you in my home over a new pair of kick ass heels ANYTIME. Oh my, I must be growing up?! Look ma :)

Anyways, I was running errands during my lunch break and stumbled upon a little treasure called The Cupcake Courier. It was the last one in stock so I am assuming it is pretty popular. This case has three removable trays and will hold a total of 36 cupcakes. It's perfect for transporting cupcakes place to place while holding them steady. The ONLY thing that I don't like about it is the handle is pretty wide and not ergonomically friendly. When you have the case fully loaded with cupcakes it's VERY heavy and difficult to carry for a long period of time. Perhaps I should develop my own line of cases. Hmmmmmm!

Today I delivered my 18th cupcake order (Thanks Yelp) to a sweet girl named Rosa. The sweet treats were a surprise for her brother and sister-in-law's 10th wedding anniversary and she requested a l-o-v-e theme. Congrats to Hilda & Juan!!!!

Say a little prayer for those affected by the Santa Cruz Mountian fires. We have had crazy weather up here the last couple of days and it looks like it may shower tomorrow. Hopefully the wind will die down and the firefighters will be able to contain the blaze.

Enjoy your Memorial Weekend everyone. I am going to chill out and reeeeeeelax. XOXO

Candy Cuppies

2008-05-11T09:10:00.000-07:00

This weekend I made a fun batch of cuppies for a sweet girl named Elaine who was celebrating her 18th birthday. She knew exactly what she wanted and was kind enough to share her vision with me by emailing me the photo below.

Based on the information that I received, this is what I came up with. She also requested the chocolate squares with her name and new age of 18. I had a lot of fun making these colorful cuppies. What do you think?

Happy Mother's Day!

2008-05-09T15:00:00.000-07:00

Happy Mother's Day to my talented Mom, Brenda. She lives in Washington so we will not be spending this special day together. However, she will be coming to visit next month and I am BEYOND excited!

My Mom makes the most beautiful baked goods. She made these gorgeous cupcakes for my brother Jake's class for Teacher Appreciation Day. Aren't these cuppies lovely?

Cuppycake

2008-04-30T18:51:00.001-07:00

This has to be one of the cutest videos on You Tube. I ADORE HER!

Spring Fling

2008-04-27T20:07:00.000-07:00

It has been an action packed weekend full of cupcakes, Westies and sugar cookies! Sean and I took Dino and Frankie to the Spring Fling Westie event at Vasona Park. The event is hosted by The San Francisco Westie Club and they feature Westies that have been rescued and adopted. Our boys had a wonderful time even though they had to wear their leash that day. Darn rules :)

I recently met a fellow cupcake lover named Mara on Yelp. Coincidently she too has a lovely Westie named Portia. I had to post a photo of her below as she's too cute! We were finally able to schedule some creative deco time and introduce our little ones. While our little rascals played, we decorated spring themed sugar cookies. I flavored the royal icing with a touch of almond oil. The icing turned out perfectly smooth and glossy. I'm really happy with the end result.

Due to numerous cupcakes orders this week, I have been unable to dedicate any time to Hair Petals. I'm hoping this week will allow some creative time as I picked up some FABULOUS new blooms in my favorite color = purple!

New Petals

2008-04-13T17:51:00.000-07:00

It's 6pm here in San Jose and it's 90 degrees! If this weather is a sign of what's to come, it's going to be a HOT summer.

I kept myself cool today by staying indoor and making some new hair pieces in honor of some VERY important people in my life. Check out my Etsy shop for all the details. I hope that you like them as much as I enjoyed making them.

Red Velvet Madness

2008-04-13T10:17:00.000-07:00

For the past three years, my baking as become more than a *hobby* for me. I recently was reviewed on Yelp and since then I have been averaging at least 3 requests a week. Because I work a regular 9-5, sadly I am unable to accommodate every order. When I am able to help my fellow cupcakes lovers, 99% of the time the cupcake flavor request is Red Velvet.

Yesterday, I made the most PERFECT batch of cupcakes EVER. I think I discovered the technique for the best *muffin top*. While I would love to share this secret, I think that some things are best left unsaid. :)

I topped the cupcakes with a delicious Vanilla Buttercream and fondant flowers dusted with edible sparkle. Too bad you don't have a *taste button* on your keyboard.

Check me out on Yelp:

Cupcake Love

2008-04-13T09:54:00.001-07:00

My mother Brenda is the most creative person that I know. She is a full time mommy, floral designer, cake artist, quilter, weaver, professional scrapbooker and card maker. Last week Mom sent me the cutest cupcake cards that she handmade especially for me. I LOVE THEM! She has graciously offered to make me personalized Thank You cards for my cupcakes orders.

Mom, if you're reading this, you should open up you own Etsy shop! You would be VERY successful.

Welcome to Petals & Cupcakes

2008-04-11T12:40:00.000-07:00

Happy Spring everyone!

Welcome to Petals & Cupcakes, a special place where I can share all of my sweet creations. Enjoy and stay awhile.

I'm Miranda. Very nice to meet you :)
