Cupcakes in the Sky




There is a great new lounge that opened in Fall River in January. It is on the fourth floor of a historic building, right across from the Government Center. Because of it's vertical presence the owners, Josh and Scott, decided to call it Sky Lounge. It boasts great views of the city and the sunset over the Taunton River is just amazing. This is the new hot spot! So when Josh contacted me to make some gourmet cupcakes for a private function I was honored. I, once again, turned to Jeremy Leatherwood for help with the display. He has, to my delight, decided to create metal work as an extension of his current business and already had a stand in the works, twisted metal vines and copper leaves. It showcased my mini cake creations nicely. The flavor combos were dark chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and 60% cacao chocolate chunks, creme caramel cake with caramel buttercream and an espresso caramel drizzle, and Italian cream cake with lemon buttercream topped with crystallized lemon zest, vanilla bean sugar, and fresh blueberries.
