S'mores Thank You Cupcakes

K, the lovely bride whose wedding I baked for last month, contacted me about sending some thank you cupcakes to her favorite vendor - Wilson Photography.

I was happy to put together this gift box with a note and ribbons in her wedding colors.







S'mores Cupcakes - chocolate cake stuffed with marshmallow and topped with a fluffy marshmallow frosting, graham cracker crumbles and a mini hersey bar ($2.25/cupcake; minimum order one dozen).

NEW: Frosted Cookies!

These adorable frosted sugar cookies are going to make wonderful favors for the holiday party for which they were ordered.

Each sweet cookie measures from 3-4" and is decorated with glossy royal icing. They just about melt in your mouth and are almost too pretty to eat. (prices start at $2.00/cookie; minimum order one dozen. Contact me at jennifer@redvelvetarmadillobakeshop.com to discuss favor bags and giftwrap options).
