I honestly really loved making this cake for the guests at a Christmas party to enjoy. A brown butter vanilla cake with vanilla filling and vanilla buttercream, adorned with vintage piping, hand placed sprinkles, and “Happy Birthday Jesus”, a reminder of the reason for the season.

Got a last minute request (less than 24 hours-no problem!) for these cutie cupcakes 😍. The original order was for yellow 💛 and light pink 🩷 frosted vanilla cupcakes 🧁 to match a “One Lucky Duck”🐤 theme for a 1st birthday, but I asked if I could add some decorations. I’m so happy the customer let me and loved them! 😊 I also included some chocolate covered pretzels 🥨 for mom and dad or to keep the kids away from the cupcakes until cake time! 😉
