Love, Love Love these cupcakes! A friend of mine told me about this bakery when our daughter was 3. We have used it several times since. I love her work so much I drove from our new home in Rockwall to use her. If you live in the Arlington area this bakery is a must. I have seen quite a few other examples of her work including beach, zoo, Diego and Spongebob themed cupcakes. The decorating is amazing. If you need something different, we ordered a 1/2 chocolate, 1/2 white, horseshoe cake covered in red roses for our Kentucky Derby party last year. It was beautiful and delicious. Submitted by Heather
