THOUGHTS FROM KRISTY - CUPCAKES VS TRADITIONAL WEDDING CAKE
Here are a couple of reasons to go with cupcakes versus a wedding cake. 1. You have to purchase a cake, then on top of that many venues will charge a cake cutting fee that ranges from $2.50-$3.00 per person. 2. With cupcakes you can select several different flavors and your guests will have several options. 3. You still have the option for a topper when going with cupcakes, by selecting either 2 larger size cupcakes for the top or a 6 inch cake topper and they freeze great! |

UP-CLOSE & PERSONAL WITH KRISTY WOELFEL:
I started baking when I was a kid. My first oven was a chest of drawers that my mother painted white and black burners on top of and then used wooden thread spools for knobs. I eventually graduated to an Easy Bake oven. I always wanted to start a cupcake business, but was working a full time corporate job and financially could not take a risk. In 2010 I married the love of my life and moved from Ohio to California. My company in Ohio allowed me to telecommute, which was great, but after a year of doing this, I really wanted to take a chance and try my hand at a cupcake business. I asked my husband Jay, if I could quit my job of 22 years and open Serendipity Cupcakes and he said YES! My first event was in December 2011, the same weekend we had a horrible wind storm and hardly anyone showed up for this outdoor food event, except for the vendors friends and families. This wasn’t the best way to start. Thankfully, each year the business has grown. Serendipity Cupcakes is an online cupcakery and I specialize in custom orders. I work with my customers and their requests for their special events. I have over 25 different flavors on my web page. I offer free delivery to Burbank, Glendale, La Canada, Pasadena and the surrounding area. I do need several days notice when placing orders and more time for larger events. Keep me in mind for your special day! PHOTO: Kristy with filmmaker husband Jay (aka Mr. Cupcake) & Tucker. |

This wedding and reception were held outdoors at The Los Angeles River Center.
The theme was rustic and the groom made the cupcake stand out of trees. The were other wooden pieces throughout the area and I am guessing he did those pieces too. They went with Tres Leche, Sea Salt Carmel and Smores Cupcakes. They gave their guests a plastic square box with graham crackers, marshmallows and Hersey Chocolate as their gift to take home to go along with the themed Smores Cupcake. Their cake to cut into was a small vanilla cake with strawberry cream as a filling and they choose a topper that resembled them including the groom in his dress blues. |

SPRING WEDDING!
This couple designed and built this beautiful rustic stand for their CUPCAKE WEDDING CAKE.
The flavors they chose were Tres Leche, Rose, Red Velvet and Sea Salt Carmel.
The top was rose flavored and it has a rose hip filling.
As it was a rustic theme, Kristy used the chalk board labels you see on the right side of the photo
to write the flavors down for their guests.
