Rich chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter buttercream and half a peanut butter cup on top :) Mmm....
Simple combination of chocolate cupcake with a vanilla buttercream swirl - hard to beat the classics :)
These were just some simple chocolate cupcakes with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream swirls I made for a baby shower. My client didn't have anything for toppers, so I fashioned these little flags using toothpicks and ribbon picked up at a craft store - pretty pleased with how it all looked together! (Even better, she was thrilled!) :)
These cupcakes were made for a baby shower with a blue gingham theme. There were one dozen fresh strawberry with cream cheese icing and one dozen chocolate with vanilla buttercream icing - all with hand painted fondant toppers :)
I made these cupcakes for the sole purpose of trying my hand at Italian Meringue Buttercream - tricky, but it turned out well and just looked so lovely! My rich, chocolate espresso cupcakes for the base, with vanilla italian meringue buttercream swirls and chocolate shavings on top!
Blueberry cupcake (with fresh blueberries folded right in the batter!) with vanilla bean cream cheese frosting topped off with even more lovely fresh blueberries :)
Rich chocolate cupcake with oreo buttercream and a mini oreo topper :)
Had a blast making these! Chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream icing - half done with a grass tip and zombie hands purchased from Bake It Pretty, half decorated as brains! :)
Birthday cake for a special little princess turning 5! Bottom tier was chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling, top tier was vanilla sprinkle cake with vanilla buttercream filling, both covered with fondant. Towers were gum paste, all other details were fondant with the exception of Dora and Boots which were toys that I purchased. :)
This cake was for a little guy's First Birthday! Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream icing. (Same for the coordinating smash cake!) All the details you see are done in buttercream. Thought this was such a cute theme for a first birthday and really had fun making the beach ball smash cake!
Fun, girly design for a special girl's Birthday! Little Miss-Matched Birthday cake! Both tiers were vanilla buttermilk cake with vanilla buttercream filling covered in fondant. The curli-ques on top of the cake were gum paste, all other detailing was fondant :)
This cake was designed to match the Carter's Blue Elephant nursery bedding collection - white vanilla cake with strawberry swiss meringue buttercream filling covered in pale blue fondant. The elephants were a fondant/gum paste mixture and I used a brown Wilton food-coloring marker to make all the dotted circles surrounding the cake (mimics a design on the bedding).
This was my first attempt at a carved guitar cake - would love to have been really detailed, but they wanted to keep things pretty simple :( Oh well, maybe next time! :) Lemon pound cake with buttercream crumb coat covered in varying shades of fondant to look like the Birthday guy's guitar.
This cake was for my Niece's Birthday - she requested a Belle Birthday cake :) I used a small square cake covered in fondant for the base, then a domed cake covered in yellow folded fondant as Belle's dress. All the details on Belle's dress were fondant as well (including the bodice). Really enjoyed working on this little Princess' cake!
Cannot claim inspiration for this design - used a lovely cake by Graceful Cake Creations - hers was a four-tier square. Flavors were white vanilla, chocolate espresso and vanilla buttermilk all with vanilla buttercream filling. All covered in white fondant - all accents were fondant cutouts, buttercream piping details at the base of each tier. Topper was provided by the Bride :)
These were made to coordinate with the Little Prince First Birthday Cake I also made :) Chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream icing and a hand made, painted gum paste crown topper for each one!
This cake was for a little guy's First Birthday :) I was really frustrated with how difficult my fondant was this particular day - couldn't get it smooth to save my life! Argh! Loved the overall design of the cake though, and they were thrilled - also made matching cupcakes as well if you look in my photos. Crown was gum paste, painted with gold Americolor airbrush paint.
Mom added character toys at the party, so the overall design was kept pretty simple on this one :) Two tiers of vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream filling covered in fondant. Other than Mickey's ears and the fingers on the glove, which were a gum paste/fondant mixture all other details were fondant. I used buttercream to pipe the grass around the base of the cake. Really enjoyed working on this one!
As a lover of all things Starbucks and all things pumpkin - this was a match made in Heaven :) Coffee infused pumpkin cupcake with fresh whipped cream, a drizzle of vanilla bean caramel sauce and a sprinkling of cinnamon! If you'll visit the blog for Annie's Eats, she's posted the recipe for these AMAZING cupcakes - they're a MUST try!
Cupcakes for a Duke Blue Devils fan's Birthday! Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream icing - one half topped with white sprinkles, the other half topped with hand formed gum paste/fondant Duke "D" toppers :)
Chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream filling covered in blue fondant. Ariel's perch is also a small chocolate cake covered in textured fondant. All the details you see (starfish, seaweed, shells) were made from fondant. Ariel was a toy purchased at a local party supply store :)
Simple Birthday cake - vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream filling, covered in white fondant and black fondant zebra stripes. Used Pink and green fondant/gum paste mixture for the curled ribbons on top :)
What a challenge it was to replicate this design by Pink Cake Box! Bottom tier was chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream, top tier was vanilla buttermilk with vanilla buttercream, both covered in fondant. Thomas on top was a gum paste/fondant mixture as were the other two trains at the base. All other details were fondant.
These cupcakes were for a special little guy's Birthday (his Dad's a fireman and his party was at the station!) Vanilla buttermilk cupcakes with vanilla buttercream icing and hand formed gum paste/fondant toppers :)
Just some cupcakes I made for fun when "Deathly Hallows - Part 2" was released! Butterbeer flavored cupcakes with hand made golden snitch and broomstick toppers :)
