Welcome

Hello, my name is Sarah and I love cupcakes! I have liked cupcakes my whole life but recently I have fallen in love with them. My plan for this blog is to share my cupcake creations, recipes I have come across and anything else cupcake related. I am going to try to blog everyday, so check back for updates!

First, let me start off by telling you a little about myself. I live in Wyoming with my husband of 8 years and our two wonderful children (who love trying my cupcakes). I have loved to bake since I was a little girl so I decided to attend baking school. I recently graduated from The Art Institute of Seattle with a diploma in Baking and Pastry.

Here are some of my of my recently baked cupcakes:
