busy weekend

We had a jam packed weekend with some fun highlights!  On Saturday we took the cupcake trailer to the Santa Barbara Wedding Couture Show.  There were amazing vendors and lots of glamour!  I loved our funky vintage set-up in the middle of all the gorgeous glam!  Our "neighbors" were SBB Gourmet Catering.  They are wonderful, easy to connect with people!  Their food was outstanding & I was very partial to the basil lemonade.  It inspired a new cupcake flavor, so next week you'll see Strawberry Basil Lemonade Cupcakes!  Here are a couple sneek peaks of our display.  I can't wait to see the photos that Linda Chaja took!

We took the trailer to a wedding in the hills of Santa Barbara right after the event.  The trailer looked so adorable at night with the lights, especially with the bride & groom snuggled inside eating cupcakes.   I'm excited to see the photos from Ashleigh Taylor Photography (we were a bit too tired to remember to pull out our camera!).

We tried 3 new flavors this week~

It was hot this week so this refreshing flavor was perfect!  Tangerine Mint Mimosa...Chamgange cake, filled with house-made tangerine mint curd, topped with tangerine frosting and sugared tangerine zest. 

Caramel Cookie Dough...Vanilla bean cake, filled with chocolate chip cookie dough, topped with vanilla frosting, chocolate chips & house-made caramel.  

 Vanilla Honey Lavender...Vanilla cake, filled with honey lavender mousse, topped with a honey, meyer lemon frosting and lavender infused sugar.  I met with a very cool bride & groom a couple weeks ago and they requested a lavender flavor (she's going to wear a dark purple wedding dress - so fun!).  I made this flavor especially for Nancy & Joe to sample.

A special thanks to Kara for working like crazy with me in the kitchen this weekend.
