Maria's Wedding Cupcake Tower

I made this last year for her wedding and didn't have a nice clear picture to post. So now I am finally posting it after she sent me these nice photos. I made chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese butter cream icing. The flowers on the small cake are fresh flowers but the spray on the side are silk, I was able to match them pretty close so the blended well. So here it is hope you like it.

Dinsey Princess cupcakes

Another cupcake order, but these were just simple princess cupcakes nothing fancy. I didn't get a picture of the pink ones but each princess color coordinated with the whipped cream topping. I had already forgotten all the princesses I've been in la-la land, I thought it was Ariel, Cinderella, Snow White and Jasmin, but looks like there are more. As for flavors they were chocolate and vanilla and this time no butter cream instead whipped cream (my favorite). Tomorrow I will be posting another 60th birthday cake with gum paste roses that I made for the first time. Well, tomorrow you be the judge of that.

Cupcake liners

Looks like cupcakes are really in, so what did I do.....buy cupcake liners? I went cupcake crazy stopped by the store and saw all the cute liners they had and couldn't resist but to spend on more cake stuff. You know I'm going to make a little suggestion only because it happen to me recently, before you go out trying to find the right cupcake liner on ebay or other sites....try your local cake store or craft store like Michael's. I just ordered a few online and spent a little to much on a pack of liners and went on over to Michael's and found the same darn thing for 1/4 of the price. So I was pretty ticked when I found them there but relieved because now I know where to, for what I need. Anyhow I will be making cupcakes to give you guys ideas and try to do something that matches each of these liners....eventually no rush okay.

Damask Daisy Cupcake Tower

So I finally did it.......150 + cupcakes on this stand. This was a cupcake tower I did for a family member's First Communion. She wanted a damask print to match invitations but she also wanted daisies involved, so this is what I came up with. Made the styrofoam stand (4 tiers), top cake is a huge cupcake followed by 150 + cupcakes varying from vanilla, chocolate, carrot and lemon topped with butter cream and a gum paste daisy on each cupcake. Used silk flowers for decoration on the stand. It was a success I was very happy with the turnout and most importantly she was too. So next month looks like I'll be pretty busy with cakes I have 2 wedding cakes some graduation stuff and also birthdays. If I can get around to posting pictures as soon as I'm done then you"ll get to see what I've been up to. Thanks again and keep posted.

Mario & Luigi cake & cupcakes

These were time consuming little things because all the cutting is freehand, but I like the bright colors. I made 36 cupcakes and a 10" cake. It was for my husbands cousins two little boys she decided to celebrate both her boys birthdays in one. So we made Mario & Luigi. The characters were made with fondant and a little tylose, I can never get the gum paste to do wonders for me. It dries out and then cracks. I tried Sweetex for the first time and I'm so happy. It so much easier to smooth onto cake, I really love it. I figured my last cake was made of fondant but not everyone likes fondant, so I settled on butter cream and it worked! Well not much more to say about the cakes. Thanks for looking!

Kayla's cupcake tower

Made this for my daughter's 8th birthday, ok so it's not a cake but a huge cupcake and a tower of cupcakes. I made the stand from scrap paper and it wasn't that hard to make. Just wish I could've made it a little bigger to fit more cupcakes. I made different flavors like, chocolate hazelnut, vanilla chocolate chip, lemon, confetti all with whipped topping in different flavors. They were a hit and pleased everyones sweet tooth. It looked so nice and colorful, no one wanted to believe the cupcakes were real. I didn't even want take it apart, but you had to eat them. Real fun thing to make I wish everything I made can be cupcakes from now on. LOL

Cupcakes in a box

Well maybe it's just me but I like these. It actually fits 2 cupcakes and I stamped a little heart and added a red stripe to top front and bottom of box, made a tag and tied it with ribbon. Simple, but cute. Inside are red velvet cupcakes which by the way it's only because they are red that I used them, and cream cheese frosting with a little fondant heart on them and a red few sugar sprinkles. I didn't eat them because I had to take these pictures but now that I'm done I will indulge. You know this diet thing isn't for me I guess I should just start next month.

Here cupcake....

Who said cupcakes? These are normal still a bit small for me but they are supposed to be a normal cupcake size. Ha They are covered in marshmallow fondant and embossed with a rubber stamp. These so happen to be rubber stamps I have from my huge collection of, Stampin Up.The wrapper is also scrap paper I cut out and added a little organdy bow. So easy to do and cute too. I really thought that the fondant would stick to stamp but with the help of a little Crisco on the stamp it didn't. Ideas are endless if you want to emboss because there are so many stamps to choose from and you can wash them or rinse them when your done. These were new sets I hadn't used by the way on paper so I'll just set them aside for this purpose. Now the only one that I didn't emboss with a stamp was the multiple hearts with a red and pink heart that's just a small heart fondant cutter. I still like the other effect. I will post a how-to do this after this post to give you an idea. Thanks for looking.

Prego cake....

This was one of my projects for this busy week. It's a Tuesday shower and she's having a girl, so that's what daddy to be said. This one is a bit different from the other preggy cake I made, with some glitches here and there but I guess it's going to work for now. I only have 20 other orders to go for rolls and cakes.

These are the cupcake favors that go with the cake. The flowers are exactly the same so they compliment each other good. They were in a small clear box wrapped in a organdy ribbon and the tag read, "Bun in the oven." Hope you like them.

K loves M

Just made these cupcakes. They didn't last too long my kids devoured them. I'm glad someone likes my stuff. lol I've been wanting to try writing in chocolate and adding as a cupcake topper. Can't remember where I saw it but I liked it. Paper is scrapbooking paper from (Stampin Up) and just added a grosgrain ribbon and... there you have it! Ok, so if I was asked to marry someone with a cupcake in their hand I would probably eat the cupcake first then say, "Yes!"
