Yellowbird's Is In Business

So, since losing my job several months ago,
the idea of me starting
a cupcake/bakery business
has been thrown around.

And yesterday,
I got my first official order!

I am SOOO excited!

I went home and tested a recipe
and
the flower design.

Here it is:


Vanilla Cupcakes
w/ a Super Yummy Buttercream Frosting
AND...Marshmallow Flowers (which I will be perfecting over the next 2 weeks)

  2. awwww The flower is so precious! Paul likes to call anything that is made of marshmellow "mallows" and while he doesn't eat them, he loves them? He's a weird kid.. I'm kind of rambling here aren't I? haha!

    I had to give up my job to move here with the hubs and I'm STILL trying to get back up on my feet with my purpose -- I'm so flipping stoked you found out what you would LOVE to do and are doing it! Whoohooo! Congrats on your first order! and Bake your buns off darling! <3

  9. So exciting!! I've tossed the idea around for awhile too and last year it really took off from word of mouth and FB! I actually got too many orders and burnt out, but I'm slowly starting to get back into it again! I've posted some of my cakes if you wanted to take a look but I have a lot more I have to get up yet! Great job on your cupcakes! http://aturtleslifeforme.blogspot.com/
