Welcome to elevencupcakes! We are so glad you stopped by. We are two girls from the Midwest who met as nannies in New York and bonded over a love of crafting & creativity. Now we are working together to bring back the home-based party. We try to come with fun, cost effective ideas that anyone can do at home. We now offer party guides in our etsy shop. These complete party guides include everything you need to throw your very own party at home.

Holly is originally from Minnesota and has been planning parties for as long as she can remember. She launched elevencupcakes in 2009 while in desperate need for a creative outlet. She loves designing and executing unique ideas, and can always find an excuse to throw a party.

Erin moved back to her home state of Illinois in 2010 after 3 years on the East Coast.  She has loved to entertain and many home movies and family anecdotes can prove that.   She was so excited when Holly asked her to be part of  elevencupcakes in 2011. When there isn’t a party to be planned (or attended) Erin spends her time baking, reading, crafting, and coming up with new ideas for future celebrations.
