Chaminade Julienne HS STEM Fair Cupcake Display

I am so proud of my Alma Mater for developing a STEM program and sharing various STEM opportunities with the community! Being an engineer myself I wish that more kids, especially young ladies, would pursue STEM fields so I was all about the opportunity to get the name of Alexandria's Creations out while promoting an excellent cause! I was asked to provide 150 cupcakes for the event and the proceeds of the sales went to 'Cupcakes for Congo' mission through the school. Win for everyone, people enjoyed the cupcakes and it was all for a great cause!

Let Alexandria's Creations set up a cupcake or sweets bar at your next event!

Cupcakes and Lettuce Wraps



I have been neglecting you all but Alexandria's Creations has had a busy weekend {yay}!!! Saturday started off with 20 chocolate covered strawberries infused with peach vodka, 20 regular chocolate covered strawberries and lettuce wraps for a group of 20 (sorry no pictures, I think you saw enough around sweetest day)! Both items were crowd favorites! 
The evening ended with 2 dozen red velvet cupcakes and 2 dozen French vanilla cupcakes for an adult birthday party!
Blame the hubby for taking the camera so I had to get these shots with my cell phone camera (not great quality)...
Enjoy!!! Sunday was busy too so hang tight and you will see tomorrow (I have to keep you coming back)!

I'm ready for my close up

Soccer Goodies

Yay for soccer and the goodies that come along with them! I had the pleasure to make 3 dozen cupcakes for a local high school soccer team and from what I hear they were a hit, I know... go figure!!!  Red velvet, Oreo and hot chocolate (for all of those cold days on the soccer field, parents know exactly what I mean).

Contact Alexandria's Creations for all of your special events!!!

Oreo cupcakes with real Oreo pieces baked into the cupcake


One beautiful dozen

One dozen red velvet 

Sugar crystals really make for a classy cupcake

As do candy pearls (in a dressed up classy way)

Soccer!!!

I associate most things I love with food/drink so why not pay tribute to those cold times out on the field with a nice hot chocolate cupcake topped with marshmallows

And the soccer balls... gotta have the soccer balls

3 dozen of Alexandria's Creations ready for delivery

Love it! Contact Alexandria's Creations for your upcoming events

Cupcake Craze -- Pineapple Upside Down and Peach Cobbler Cupcakes

Alexandria's appreciates the 'traditional' cupcake but lets face it the more wild the more appealing! Pineapple upside down cake is a classic favorite so why not make it into a cupcake! What can I say about peach cobbler... {currently salivating} this is a wonderful down home treat with the right touch of spices and fresh peaches!

Why stick with the 'traditional' pies for the holidays??? Contact Alexandria's Creations to place an order; if you can dream it, Alexandria's can develop it!

Cupcake Kits are also available!

Peach cobbler cupcake served warm topped with French vanilla ice cream






Yummy pineapple



Surf and Turf Dinner




The turf... strip steak with red wine sauteed peppers and onions, smashed potatoes and steamed broccoli 


We now drink our water from a wine bottle (thanks to our recent trip to Paris)


Yummy

Two pounds of Cajun steamed snow crab legs

Love the up close shots

Fried Tilapia

I try to have fish a few nights a week but the only problem is that when I have it I pretty much always want it fried, there goes the healthy thoughts out the window. So this night was no different... lemon pepper southern fried tilapia it was really good though, that has to count for something!
