Customers!

I like to think I have so pretty awesome customers. I especially love when they include my work on their blogs and photos are always a plus! 

Here is my Heathers necklace modeled by Tavi from thestylerookie.com.

Check out my shop for your own necklace!

Mothers Day


Since my mom lives about 3 hours away from me, I couldn't be with her today for Mothers Day. I sent her some nice gifts and we chatted on the phone for a bit. I don't have any children of my own but my dog, Cooper, counts in my mind.

So I stayed in today and made some yummy cupcakes. I made my banana cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Purple frosting and matching sprinkles. They are delicious!


And since it is Mothers Days, I found this cute book a few weeks ago at work and felt it was a good time to share. My Mom, Style Icon has adorable photos of moms from years past and their fashionable (or not so fashionable!) outfits. This would have made a great Mothers Day gift!

New Flower Hairpieces

I've been working on some new items for the shop. Here are my flower hairpieces. Some have feathers, some have netting, but they are all one of a kind. I kinda want to keep all of them...hope you like them!

Burlesque Festival!

This past weekend, I took Flamingo Cupcake Studios to the Jim Thorpe Burlesque Festival. I was a vendor at the Burlesque Bizarre among some pretty amazing ladies.

There were burlesque performances on Friday and Saturday night at the lovely opera house. Watching the ladies perform was so inspiring. They had some great acts, lots of funny moments and even an on stage proposal! 

I sold lots of stuff and met some awesome new people. I'm missing Jim Thorpe already and I can't wait til next year!

I probably won't get a chance to write on here as much right now being that the Burlesque Festival is coming up and I have so much last minute stuff to do! I am super excited and nervous especially about the weather...we're almost in April and we are still seeing a threat of snow??!!! I want some Spring weather already! 

For the time being, I will leave you with photos of some cupcakes I recently made for a friend who just had a little baby boy. They are very blue!

Style Rookie

Its always nice to hear how customers of mine find out about Flamingo Cupcake. I mean, I don't have the money to do advertising so word of mouth is really all I've got. A recent customer of mine said, 'Oh btw, I found out about you from Tavi on Style Rookie.' Honestly, I had no idea what she was talking about so of course I googled it and was pleasantly surprised. It turns out Tavi is one of my customers, too. She's a cute little thing who blogs about fashion, music, and one of my personal favs, Courtney Love. Here is a photo of her wearing one of my necklaces!


You need to check out her blog!
