Booze and cupcakes go GREAT together!

On Monday we drove up to Wisconsin to check out Iron Cupcake Milwaukee. 31 cupcake entries and lots of booze. I was super impressed by all the bakers and their cupcake creations. Sandy, Chef Jeff and volunteers did an amazing job in hosting the biggest challenge ever! I was thrilled to be part of such an awesome event.

Ruthie was the guest of honor. Her cupcake hat and apron were a killer. Check out Ruthie's Shop cute stuff!

The hubby, the girlie's and I had a great time. We hope to be back... SOON!

My personal favorite of the night AMARETTO SOUR CUPCAKE.

Cupcake greeting card!

Super cute cupcake birthday card... serves a window cling.

Cupcake toppers!

When visiting Wisconsin Dells found these cute sugar figurines.

They would make great cupcake toppers!

Couldn't help taking pictures of this YUMMY candy case.


No cupcakes in the Dells.... but found a great deal on a KitchenAid mixer. And I LOVE IT!
