Have a Fun Idea for a themed party, just give us a call or email and we will give it a go!
A client emailed and asked if we did Sesame Street themed cupcakes, so we looked up some pictures and here’s how the first practice batch turned out…

In late-January, Classy Cups Cupcakes received a call from Irwin Union Bank in Clayton asking for information on Baby Shower Cupcakes, as they were having a baby shower for two of their employees, who are both are having boys.
We suggested our It’s-A-Boy Cupcakes. The Cupcakes are a mix of vanilla and chocolate and are topped with blue, yellow, and green vanilla icings; and brown icing is milk-chocolate. The cupcakes are decorated with stripes, dots, and swirls of bright boyish colors.

Cupcakes as Gifts
A mom & dad from out of state purchased a box of cupcakes for their daugther Deirdre, who attends SLU. So we baked, decorated, and delivered them to SLU Campus as the parents requested. They wanted the cupcakes to be bright colors and have a birthday look to them. So, that’s exactly what we did. The solid colors are vanilla cupcake with vanilla icing. The cupcakes with writting are chocolate with chocolate drops in the center topped with vanilla icing and the words were piped on with chocolate icing colored black.

SAMPLE BOX
In mid January, Classy Cups Cupcakes prepared our Cup-Tini Sample Box filled with chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry cupcakes. Our bride and groom shared their ideas with us prior to the consualtation, and that their colors and theme would be pink and black; they wanted fun and classy. So, for our soon to be newlyweds, Classy Cups Cupcakes decorated the Sample Box with shades of pinks, black, and white; and decorated them with swirls, stripes, and dots.

MUSEUM OF TRANSPORTATION
The birthday cupcakes were for twin, 5 year old boys who had their party at the Museum of Transportation in Des Peres, Missouri. Their mother contacted us weeks before and requestd that the cupcakes not contain eggs, as the boys are allergic. So Classy Cups Cupcakes did just that, we used an egg replacement powder in place of eggs. The boys picked out their favorite road signs, and we decorated all the cupcakes to their request.

SAMPLE BOX
Classy Cups Cupcakes prepared a Sample Box of chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla Cup-Tinis for our client in January. The client was asked in advance what their colors and theme would be, since the wedding would be held at Busch Satdium, they wanted to continue with the Baseball Theme with red and tan colors. So we decorated in red as strawberry icing, tan as chocolate icing, and white as vanilla icing.

These cupcakes were purchased by Ruth from Chicago. They were a gift to Tom who lives in Oakville just outside of St. Louis. The solid colors are vanilla with vanilla icing and the decorated cupcakes are chocolate with chocolate icing.

RCIG celebrated with our Seasonal Candy Cane Cups mixed with our Snowflake Cups, as seen above. Our red velvet cupcakes are filled with a chocolaty center, and then are topped with snow-flake white icing, but don’t let it fool you, it is actually our zippy peppermint icing. And this treat would not be complete without being sprinkled with chunks of crushed candy cane!
RCIG also requested cupcakes with their company logo, as seen above. They are vanilla cupcakes with vanilla icing.

AT&T donated the Christmas Cupcakes for the Holiday Party at Boulder Springs Condos in Maryland Heigths this past year. The client Tracey, requested they be a Christmas theme, so we decorated them as Christmas Trees, Poinsettas, Snowflakes, and HoHoHo on them!

This is our small cupcake tree, which can hold up to 60 cupcakes. As seen above, a small topper can decorate the top tier along with a few cupcakes. The topteir can hold seven cupcakes, a topper weighting 5 pounds, or a seven inch round cake.
