Fancy Cupcakes



I did it!! I finally got the swirl perfect on these cutie cupcakes! I asked the sister of a friend what tip she used to get the swirl so perfectly perfect, and I got a package of the tips just yesterday. :) 


 Lucious frosting...ooooohh I love my frosting.....siiiiiigh......


The cupcake is a spice cake, and I used homemade buttercream frosting on top. :)  Then I used some sprinkles from a collection of Wilton sprinkles.  My cupcake wrappers were also Wilton, and my little brother got them for me for Christmas. :)
Thanks for peeking!!!

Pumpkin Torte!

Delish!!!  This recipe was soo yummy, and quite easy too! I made it for my Papa for his birthday. :)

Pumpkin torte, with pumpkin cream cheese frosting, caramel and toasted pecans. :)  (I never actually toasted the pecans due to lack of time, but they still tasted good ;))

Welcome!

Hi everyone, welcome to the very first post for the Croissant Cafe!! I'm so excited to be starting on my journey of opening a bakery. A little background for anyone new to me.....   I discovered about a year ago what an escape baking could be.  After a while it was no longer an escape, but something I loved doing.  In August I started college to earn my degree in Business Administration.  While it is a very hard, and frustrating degree, I will be glad I went through it.  Already I have learned countless things that I know I will use when I have a bakery.  I have begun to make things already to sell in order to build a customer base, and hope to be able to open a shop when I graduate.  So come with me on my journey!  I'm not shipping any goods as of yet, mainly selling localy.  You can email me, or leave a comment though if you are very interested, and something may be able to be worked out.  Thank you!
