Heat Wave Inspiration

Yes it is still February.

Yes it isn't truly a heat wave.

But it's February! And it's been in the 50 degree range! And this is western Washington! That counts as a heat wave in my opinion.

As for the inspiration, the weather is tricking me into thinking that it is already Spring (my fav season for many a reason.... I won't even dignify that with a comment about how it rhymes...)

Anyway, I created some Spring-themed cupcakes/cakes and couldn't help but share them with the world! Enjoy :)

Captivating Creations!

Welcome!

It is Official - Captivating Creations is Underway! Now for a little bit about us:

Captivating Creations

Captivating Creations comes from the idea that each celebration, each moment, should captivate your senses. Enjoying your first moments as husband and wife, welcoming a beautiful new person into the world, celebrating a joyous birthday, looking back over 15, 25, 50 years of marriage, and so on.

My desire is to captivate you with your custom made cakes - that they would be the "icing on the cake", so to speak, on your special day. People have always come together over food, so why not treasure your special occasions over dessert?

Melynda O'Brien

I have spent most of my life in Washington state and have grown to love it's natural beauty. It is here that I learned how to be creative, to use my skills to create joy in the life of myself and others. I love working with people, learning other's stories, and discovering more about the journey that we are all on.

I earned my degree in Public Relations, with a minor in Religious Studies, from Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA. While I was there I had the opportunity to discover myself and learn to use the skills God has given me, for my strength comes from Him alone. So, after many-a-night spent studying while watching Food Network shows like "Ace of Cakes", I decided that I too would like to be a cake decorator.

After graduating, I began taking cake decorating class and am trained through Wilton. I currently live in Bellevue, WA with my husband, Tim. It is my hope that I could be a part of your special day, whether it be a first birthday or a 25th wedding anniversary, and use my skills to captivate you by my cakes and cupcakes.
