Hi all, it took me a good 15 minutes to drag my butt out of bed this morning. I was up late last night making some last minute Christmas cupfakes. I think that brings my total of Christmas cupfakes and items to about 20. Should have made more? I thought about it but I really want holiday cupfakes to be truly limited and special so I didn't make dozens of them this year.
It has been a busy season so far, got much of my shopping done so I am ahead on that front. However, the Christmas tree has yet to make its appearance.
I also have to spend some time thinking about where exactly I want to take The Cakery Fakery for 2012. Goals goals goals is the idea people. One of them is to contribute more to this blog but I have said that a dozen times at least! But next year I'll make it happen, I swear.
I have been seeing more and more folks making "cupfakes" so I am going to concentrate on making mine truly unique as far as themes go. My cupfakes are collectible and I want the design to reflect that. So stay tuned and keep checking the shop to see what comes alive in 2012.
We are scheduled to close on a new home in December, hopefully that will go smoothly. I am also hoping that somewhere in that new house I will find some studio space. So 2012 will also be about organization for me. I am sure if I were more organized I could create on a much faster level. My head swims..........
OK so thats it for now. Be sure to check out my shop today and this week for new items!

Happy Thanksgiving!
OK, one major holiday done, next on the list!!!
Thanksgiving always puts me in the Christmas mood. We had a wonderful and filling Thanksgiving yesterday at my aunts home in the great state of New Jersey! The kids had a blast and the food was great! The cannolis were unusually HUGE (which is always a good thing....) and the weather was great for travel.
But now I am back home, taking the latest photos of new cupfake Christmas tree ornaments. How cute will your tree look with these sweet little cakes hanging all over your tree? I make my most ornaments extra sparkly to catch the lights from your tree. Different ornament themes will be available. But unfortunately I cannot do custom ornaments this year, there just is not enough time this year.
I'd like to note that these ornaments are lightweight and come with a thin metal loop on top for you to insert your ornament hook. Some have gold ribbon on top for hanging. Whichever you choose, they will look great on any tree or centerpiece on a holiday table? You could even hang them from ornament hangers if you prefer to keep your tree more traditional (as my cupfake ornaments are not your standard tree ornament!)
The Cakery Fakery has had quite a year. So many cupfakes made (and sold!) lots of custom orders, lots of creativity, and we were able to make donations to St. Jude's Childrens Hospital. Not as much as I would have liked, but every little bit helps and I have to thank the customers for that!

Ahhhhh.....cupcakes
OK, so The Cakery Fakery was very busy the last few weeks creating some special custom orders for a photographer and a baby showwer. I was thrilled to be asked to create the baby shower order because the host informed me she was having a "Candyland" themed baby shower for her daughter in law. I have always dreamed of a Candyland themed party and hopefully will be doing that for my daughters next birthday party!
Anyway, here are some pics of the candyland cupcakes!
How cute are the actual board game and game piece miniatures????
Each of them also serve as photo holders!
Come on by my Etsy shop and see all of my other creations, which are available now. Or perhaps you want something custom?????? Just drop me a line via the Etsy site!

Hi Folks! Once again it has been way too long since I have posted! But here I am.
The winner of my "choose your favorite cupfake" giveaway was Clair Bove! She chose and received my Autumn Butterfly cupfake creation! She is a huge fan of Autumn decor and her dining room is decorated with Fall splendor all year long, so I know my cupfake has found a good home with her!
Things at the Cakery Fakery have been busy! I am expanding my Etsy shop to include NEW faux food items such as life sized prop cakes, ice cream sundae's and milkshakes! Take a look around! I'll post some pics at the end of this posting for ya!
I'd also like to promote a great group of Etsy artists, a link to their creations will also be included here today so show them some hand made love!
