Pinecone Jb Cupcake
Cupcake submitted to the Jelly Belly $10K Cupcake Contest. None of my entries made it to the finals but it was fun to create them all. Covered with white MMF then topped with half of chocolate egg shape. Chocolate frosting was applied to egg shape then sliced jelly beans to make pine cone. Needles are dyed green cellophane noodles. Chocolate fondant branch is under the needles but not shown well in this view.

Clowns On Ferris Wheel
Mini french vanilla cupcakes with raspberry filling. Clown heads are gummy suckers with almond buttercream frosting collars and confetti sprinkles. About 75 clown mini cupcakes disappeared at the office that day. Just wanted to fill the ferris wheel that I found in an antique store with something cute.

M&m Ladybug On Leaf Cupcake Topper
Regular sized M&M with edible black marker spots & RI head. Edible lacquer applied to head after RI dried for shine. Learned later that there are other products to do this like possibly color flow. Leaf is fondant textured with mold. The look reminds me of a painted rock but these are way better tasting!

Martini Cookies
Martini shaped sugar cookies with 1/2 candy chocolate almond olive (from Casa de Fruita in CA) over plastic sword. Clear piping gel over white chocolate. Looks like the baker had already had a few too many! Or maybe was on a sugar rush from sampling the product? What a mess but you get the intent.
