Fondant Letters

2009-07-22T08:46:00.000-07:00

How's this for personalization?!!! How adorable are these flowers made from fondant with letters engraved in them? You can request them in any color you'd like to match your party decorations. Write a message such as Happy B day, Get Well, Congrats...or why not the initial of each guests' 1st name? I bet they'd feel really special (and best of all, no one will fight over them!). You can even place one at each place setting instead of those paper place cards. Sweeet! A place card that's edible...now that's a party worth talking about. ;)

Just remember, you are limited to 12 characters per box if you want the dozen to spell out something (24 characters for miniature cupcakes). Miniature cupcakes are shown in the picture to the right.

Eco-friendly Couture

2009-07-06T16:42:00.000-07:00

Bella Cupcake Couture offers posh and chic textile-inspired cupcake wrappers. A neat feature is that each design is printed with soy inks on recycled paper, so you know they are not harmful to our planet.

Bella Cupcake Couture were kind enough to send us samples for us to test out and share with our readers. These wrappers are unlike anything we've seen before. They have the ability to offer a sophisticated elegance to any special occasion. The designs come in a variety of styles including floral, swirls and damask. In case you were wondering, you do not bake in them. You simply attach them to the cupcakes after they've been baked, and in our case decorated.

Simply buy your favorite frosted cupcakes (Hint: like Sweetkups) and set them inside these wrappers for an elegant finish. View our slideshow on the left for more pictures of Bella Cupcake Couture wrappers taken by Sweetkups.

How sweet it is to be the birthday girl...

2009-07-03T11:10:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to share with you a cupcake delivery we just made yesterday for someone's birthday.

Aside from our lovely fuchsia box with a window pane and those wonderful cupcake separators that keep the cupcakes from touching each other (we all want our frosting to stay beautiful), we can also add a ribbon, card and candle for just $1. So why not personalize your delivery and make it special!

What? Free champagne!!!

2009-07-01T10:10:00.000-07:00

Well, not exactly. You see, Royal Cascades is offering during the month of July a FREE beverage fountain rental with the rental of a chocolate fountain. What a deal! Imagine a waterfall of delicious milk, dark or white chocolate flowing down a 3-tiered fountain as you dip your favorite treats such as fruits, cookies, cakes or how about miniature Sweetkups cupcakes! And then, the best part of all, you get to wash down these delicious goodies with champagne served from streams from one of Royal Cascades' elegant beverage fountains. Now how does that sound? All you need to do is mention the Coupon Code: FreeFountain when you call 305.546.8834. Hurry, offer expires 7/31/09.

4th of July Cupcakes

2009-06-30T10:09:00.001-07:00

Independence Day is a national holiday marked by patriotic displays. Similar to other summer-themed events, Independence Day celebrations often take place outdoors. Families often celebrate Independence Day by hosting or attending a picnic or barbecue and take advantage of the day off and, in some years, long weekend to gather with relatives. Decorations (e.g., streamers, balloons, and clothing) are generally colored red, white, and blue, the colors of the American flag. Parades often are in the morning, while fireworks displays occur in the evening at such places as parks, fairgrounds, or town squares.

Why not bring themed Sweetkups cupcakes with you to these festive events. They would be the perfect addition to a picnic or barbecue. After all, no cutlery is needed and they are portable. They are large enough to be satisfying but small enough to be guilt-free.

Eventos Magazine featuring Sweetkups

Eventos Magazine, a local Miami magazine, featured Sweetkups.com in an article for their April 2008 issue.

ReThink+ReUse

2009-06-10T23:14:00.000-07:00

Sweetkups provided the desserts for this lavish event hosted by the ReThink + ReUse Center. Let's Make a Play Date was the theme, which took place on April 24, 2009 at 7:30pm at COVERINGS ETC SHOWROOM on 7610 NE 4th Court Miami, FL 33138. While tire swings & palm trees decorated the showroom, I think it was the lemonade stands, cotton candy & popcorn machines that brought out eveyones inner child. Guests enjoyed samples from well known restaurants such as Perricones & Pacific Time. And a silent auction & raffle provided entertainment. But I think it was Sweetkups' cupcakes that was the big hit! Just like the good-ol'-days in mom's kitchen, Sweetkups cupcakes are baked fresh with every order.
