Serendipity Cupcakes

If you don’t try you will never know and always wonder, what if……

My philosophy is “If you don’t try you will never know and always wonder, what if”. I told myself I would give myself one year in the cupcake world and if its not working, then I would have to go out a find a job. Its coming up close to a year that I started Serendipity Cupcakes and I believe I am on the right path, so I will keep plugging along. I am going to attach a picture of an event I participated in this past Saturday. My friend Lori Hartwell founder of Renal Support Network co-hosted a celebrity poker tournament along with Leyna Nguyen from Love Across The Ocean. Lori asked if I would like to do a display of cupcakes and of course I said “YES”. The best part of baking cupcakes is how to decorate them. Since this was a poker event, I went with a poker theme. I purchased a 5 tier cupcake stand, spray painted it white to give it a nice finished look and bought a ribbon that I thought resembled a spade and placed it around the raw edges. I found a little table cloth that was poker themed to place under the stand and then found poker themed cupcake liners, along with red and black riboon to drape down the tiers. I was lucky enough to find a mold of aces, hearts, spades and diamonds and made red and chocolate pieces. One thing I do not recommend is trying to write a name on a small cupcake. There were close to 60 celebrities and I wrote a celebrity name on each cupcake. I hope you like my poker display and the pictures I attach of Jack Black and myself with his Serendipity Cupcake.
