Today was one of my then co-worker, now friend's going away party. She got promoted and now moving to LA. I'v worked with her for almost 5 years and 3 of those years, we've grown closer and have become good friends. She and her husband are like a big sister and big brother to me so it's really a big deal that they're leaving. I look up to both of them so much, their absence will most definitely be felt.
She and I exchange baking stories and she introduced me to Yolanda Gampp, a baker from Toronto that makes incredible cakes - you should check out her YouTube channel --> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvM1hVcRJmVWDtATYarC0KA -- since then, her and I always have baking stories to tell each other.
It is just appropriate that I make her a cupcake bouquet as a going away present. Sure, she cannot take it with her to LA but we will always have baking wherever we are.
I made lemon cupcakes with raspberry buttercream frosting. I got the idea of the whole cupcake bouquet from Pinterest - the ideas you can get from this site are just brilliant!
I thought I'd share the outcome. Taaaaa-daaaaa!
I only used a ziploc bag to frost but still, isn't it adorable? It's also very tasty! two thumbs up
Great idea for a gift!
