DIY cupcake party ideas

When it comes to cupcakes and parties, it's a trusted LP theory that the more choices people have, the happier the party is!

Need a little guidance?

Make a batch of chocolate and a batch of vanilla cupcakes, and mix the frostings. Rim the sides with different sprinkles, crunched cookies, cereal or candy. Fruity Pebbles or Cocoa Krispies would be an awesome cupcake addition!

Easy 4th of July Dessert

When we welcome summer, we also welcome berry season. Blueberries, strawberrys, raspberries abound. The 4th of July is a perfect holiday to celebrate the Earth's sweet bounty and create patriotic desserts for those you love.

You may even luck out and find mini brownie bites already baked and packaged for you in the bakery department of your grocery store! Even if that is not the case, and you want to whip up a batch of brownies or mini cupcakes for your 4th of July bbq, be sure to grab a pint of strawberries and blueberries to add a festive touch without the red and blue mouths (from food coloring). That being said, we were eager to share our ideas and be a part of Karina Lopez's summer soiree spread in this month's Buffalo Magazine.

Pick up your edition of this month's

Buffalo Magazine today!

Cheers! Have a safe and happy 4th of July! xo

Italian Meringue Buttercream Recipe

Frosting a cake is a breeze with Italian meringue buttercream. It’s light texture is a great frosting for wedding cakes. You can add preserves to give it a different flavor and color for your special event. Make sure the butter is at room temperature before you begin!

This is a great recipe from local cakery, Creative Creations Cakery!

Wedding Planning - Buffalo Style!

Leave it to the KC You There and Winging It Buffalo Style teams to have the crazy idea to plan a wedding in less than 2 weeks! When they asked if we wanted to be a part of it, we did not hesitate to agree to be on board with providing the dessert for such an event.

When it comes to planning a wedding, one of the most fun elements (especially from our point of view) is planning the cake! We're teaming up with our favorite, Creative Creations Cakery, to design a one-of-a-kind wedding dessert experience.

Lately, brides have been opting for a dessert table feel for their wedding. However, you don't have to go crazy with different desserts. Depending on the size of your reception, you can pair a smaller tiered cake with levels of cupcakes to give it dimension and your guests choices.

We will be sharing the planning process as we prepare for the wedding Friday, LIVE on CW23 at 8am - On Twitter, follow Team LP @lolapearlbakes and KC @kcyouthere!
