The Cupcake Lady

My passion for creating cupcakes began in 2012 when  “Oreo Cupcakes,” was the answer to the yearly question, What kind of cake do you want for your birthday?”

My daughter’s request for “Oreo Cupcakes” on her birthday was a new request, so I thought I should do some research and made my way to the local cupcake shop.  The moment I walked in, I was in awe - a bakery case filled with beautiful cupcakes! As I inched closer, I saw it – a chocolate cupcake piled high with cookies and cream buttercream, adorned with a single oreo on top. Right then, I had an idea… and I walked right out. I can still remember the jingle of the bells on the door, the sugar high smell, and the giddiness of my idea! That was my “origin story" moment. I walked out knowing I could make that cupcake myself which meant it would be even more special for my daughter. This also honored my mother and the tradition I wanted to continue. It was with that attitude, that I made the most incredible Oreo Cupcakes for my daughter’s party.

My defining moment came when I became a Registered Cottage Food Producer.  This license enabled me to provide cupcakes for my daughter’s wedding reception. It was after creating delicious cupcakes and a spectacular tablescape to show them off that I gained the confidence I needed to start my own business and to start offering my creations to others.
