Finding "The One" - Yummy Cake & a great time!

"The One" Wedding Showcase was a huge success this past weekend! Brides and grooms alike got to sample delicious food from wedding caterers, sample wine, talk with photographers, and get to enjoy some of my yummy cupcakes!


It was a great event in all. I got to share a table with Lavender Valley Farm, located in Seattle, WA. They had lotions, soaps, lavender sachets, and lots of other things that are absolutely perfect for brides to pamper themselves, use as wedding favors, or give out as gifts for their wedding party!

I also got to represent Bella Cupcake Couture at the event - their gorgeous wrappers on my cupcakes just brought it all together! Check them out here.

On a personal note, I loved getting to chat with the other vendors there! It was great to see so much talent under one roof.

I had the opportunity to get to know brides at all stages of wedding planning, and for those that chose me as their cake decorator I just want to say THANK YOU and I cannot wait to make your delicious and beautiful cakes!


If you were a bride, groom, or a friend at the event, I'd love to hear what you thought of it! For more information about my cakes, visit my website here!

CupcakeCamp Seattle!

*drum roll please*

Captivating Creations placed 2nd in CupcakeCamp Seattle's Best Seattle Themed Competition!


CupcakeCamp Seattle was a great experience - it all came together and so much support was shown from the public! About 800 people from around the Seattle area showed up and enjoyed cupcakes! There was cupcakes galore - over 5,000 donated! Not to mention all the proceeds went to The Hope Heart Institute - a non-profit that researches/provides info about heart disease! I also heard that over $5,000 was raised - $1 for each cupcake!

I was able to take a lot of pictures, which you can see below! For more pictures, check out my facebook fan page.




Shout out to this "cupcake" (above) that was entered into the Best Seattle Theme - seriously!? Best.idea.ever. I love it. In case you can't read it, the caption reads: "The unhappy hipster cupcake did not enter himself into the competition. He thinks cupcakes are SO three years ago. He left about twenty minutes ago to listen to She and Him on vinyl."

Let me know if any of you guys made it out to the event! If you did, let me know what you think :)
