Cupcake resin jewelry pendants

I'm excited to show you some new scrabble tile resin pendants I have finished.  These cupcake pendants are available at Yum Cupcakery, Gainesville, Florida. 

Claire and Stephanie Browning of Yum Cupcakery were wonderful in allowing me to only describe my idea to them and saying yes to the new line of jewelry.

I dropped the pendants off a couple of days ago and got these pictures before I left.

The digitally enhanced cupcake images are adhered to the back of a scrabble tile and finished with a dome of resin on top.








There are many styles and colors of cupcakes.  The silver tone bail allows many sizes of chain, cord or ribbon to pass through.  The pendants come on a 24 inch silver tone ball chain.









I had a great time making them.  The process fits well with making the other resin bracelets that I've been blogging about as well.







Claire and Stephanie said a lot of their patrons are "die-hard" cupcake enthusiasts.  I hope they like to wear them as well.  *smile*













We talked in the future about expanding the cupcake resin jewelry line based upon customer feedback.











I love how I was able to photograph this cupcake with its "inspiration".











They are very light to wear.  They are water resistant, but not water proof. 

These pendants retail for $12.  

While I don't have individual pictures right now, if you have a particular interest in one you see here, or want to inquire about color patterns, please email me.  Otherwise, be checking the KMS Designs website for pictures in the next couple of weeks.

A visit to a local bakery

So who doesn't love a good cupcake?  I read an article in the Gainesville Sun and the Florida Alligator featuring a new cupcake bakery, Yum Cupcakery,  that had opened in town.  It was started by recent University of Florida graduates Claire and Stephanie Browning.  I sent them a note of congratulations and they invited me by for a visit.







I was immediately struck by all the cupcake choices they had!  Pick your cake, then a filling and a frosting,  Finish it off with your favorite topping.

They were, of course, filling orders while I was there.  (That's Stephanie behind the counter.)  I couldn't possibly leave without a few cupcakes.  (Especially since my little peeps were mad they weren't going with me.)














This one's for me.  :) Carrot cake with a cream cheese icing.  It was just as good as it looks.

This is is strawberry cake with a chocolate filling and icing.  Stephanie is drizzling a fruit glaze on top.

There are two large trays of topping possibilities.

My order is partially finished.  The one in the front with the sprinkles is just a simple vanilla cake and vanilla icing.

Here are Stephanie (left) and Claire (right) with my finished order.  The family just loved them!

While I was there, Claire and Stephanie asked if I could come up with some "cupcake jewelry" for their store.  Wow!  I am thrilled to be asked!  As it so has it, there are a few things on the design table that I think will be a good fit.
