Contest Cupcakes

Cupcakes I entered in a contest but alas I didn't win or even place. I did have fun designing and creating these however. The babies were made using a mold, and because I didn't know how to "paint" the clothes, I covered them with flowers and leaves. All the other pieces were hand made by me using my favorite trial and error technique. Thanks so much for looking.

First Time With Fondant

These are just three of the cupcakes I entered in the WD contest. My first time working with fondant. The frog and dice are fondant and the poodle was a white and pink jelly lollipop, that I sprayed with black food coloring and added black sugar accents. I must say I'm hooked on at least playing with fondant. The wrappers I designed using my paint program. Thanks for looking.

Tux Cupcake Collar

I tried to post this in the forum section, so please forgive that it's going thru the galleries. Made using a 6"x12" piece of scrapbook paper run through a paper crimper. I was able to get 2 cutouts. I made a pattern by cutting down one side of a regular cupcake liner and cutting out the bottom. I traced around this adding 1/4" to both the top and bottom curved edges, and 1/2" to both ends. AlamoSweets, dynee, and gabbycakes have all posted patterns.

Bachelor Party Cupcake Collars

Cupcake "collars" made using scrapbook tools. I forgot to tuck in the tie, and next time I'll make the holes on the corset smaller and use cording. The cupcakes which are hard to see are chocolate chip with chocolate nutella frosting. Thanks for looking.

Princess Cupcake Collar

This is a prototype for my youngest granddaughter's 1st birthday. I used scrapbooking paper, paper crimper, and an edge punch. The tutu is actually a hair tie that fits nicely around the base, and the crown is a tiny hair comb. Thanks for looking.

Bridal Cupcake Collars

Bride and Groom cupcake "collars". Made using scrapbook papers, crimper, and punches. The paper actually rests on the upper edge of the nut cup used to bake the cupcake. That way I could cut the paper straight rather than in a circle.

Spring Cookie Bouquet

Made for my niece-in-law. NFSC with RI. Hand made cookie cutters except for the white "daisy" . I wanted to have it look more like an actual arrangement, with leaves. Thanks for looking.

Banana Split Cookies

Saw the banana split cakes done by agagnier and merissa, and thought they might make a good 3D two sided cookie arrangement. This was made for one of my grand-daughter's birthday. Ran out of time so didn't get all the details done that I usually do. Hand cut no-fail cookies with RI and a chocolate dipped spoon. Thanks for looking. And thank you agagnier and merissa for the inspiration.
