Cupdaes

Everyone was in DIRE need of something sweet! Although ice cream was on MY mind, I made cupcakes for my niece. She thought it would be cute if the cupcakes looked like "little ice creams" so we made them sprinkled with a cherry on top =]

Cupcakes A La Bella

My 3.5yr old niece LOVES when I bake. She hates waiting for me to finish making my bittercream, as I often save that for last, so made sure my mom bought her a small can of frosting. She opened the can while I made my buttercream and frosted half of the cupcakes. Her's are cutely decorated with an M&M "cherry" up top.

Strawberry Crumb

Fresh strawberries make the BEST filling! French vanilla cake filled with a light vanilla buttercream and strawberry.

Badtz-Maru

Badtz-Maru is a friend's favorite character as well as black and yellow being her favorite colors. She's partial to trying too many exotic flavors so I did a chocolate cake marbeled with french vanilla. The filling is a simple strawberry filling and I made my delicious vanilla buttercream for the dam and crumb coat.

"red Bottom Heels"

A friend just received a pair of Louboutins for her anniversary and has been talking about them for weeks. Her birthday was coming up and I figured out the perfect cake to make for her. This was a little hard as it was my first time trying to make a shoe and shoe box cake. I'm not 110% satisfied, but It's amazing for my first try at not only making a shoe, but using pastillage as well. The shoe is made of fondant and pastillage, ruffles are fondant, letters on "ruffles" are pastillage. The shoe box is a doctored 3 layer red velvet box cake with CC frosting from scratch. The logo on the "shoe box" started out as a chocolate transfer and ended up being written in ganache. Sorry there's no picture of what the inside looks like.

Gaga Oh La Laaa

Lady Gaga-esque cupcake toppers for my god brother's birthday. Mind you he just turned 29! lol - he's a huge fan. He was having a really bad weekend and I finally had a FULL weekend to myself, no work. Just decided it was time for me to do something new and to actually make more cakes; he was the perfect candidate, and what better way to accomplish something and make someone feel better on top of that!? The cupcake toppers were all made out of my homemade marshmallow fondant flavored with almond oil, except for anything black which was Satin Ice. The idea was to recreate his most blogged about Gaga moments and thanks to Facebook I was able to do exactly that! So the moments include: her VMA red lace outfit, the "Alejandro" look with black hat, the famous lightning bolt, simple "GAGA" lettering, "The Fame" glasses, yellow "Telephone" hair, the "Alejandro"/"Paparazzi" flip top glasses, the pink haired Gaga, a telephone, normal "everyday" Gaga with shades, and bubbles reminiscent of the famous bubble dress. They were put on top of some rainbow cupcakes that I posted prior.

Strawberry Delight

My mom just wanted me to make a cake- she's been dying for something sweet. She got tired of waiting for me to bake her a cake, so she went out and bought two very large containers of strawberry. It was the the perfect thing to add to the cake! I was lazy and used the only boxed cake mix we had in the house- funfetti. So it's a 4 layer funfetti cake with dyed royal icing (a mixture of pink and no taste red for a vibrant SHOCKING pink color) filled with fresh strawberries and kept moist with a strawberry simple syrup. Didn't want to use fondant, so I gave the icing texture to make it visually pleasing.

Orange Meets Chocolate

Orange chocolate chip cupcakes with orange zested almond oil frosting with candied orange peels. Used a star tip (found in the Wilton basic tip set) to pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes. My sister left them on top of the stove forgetting it was on so the frosting started to melt.

My Niece's Pink Cake

My 3yr old niece recently told me that I make the best cakes and she wanted a small pink cake with hearts- she was fascinated with the heart cookie cutter. I baked the cake and we played around making it. Two layer Strawberry cake with ice-cream filling, vanilla frosting and red MM fondant (colors are off). Light pink and pink hearts along the outside of the cake with a white heart atop the middle.

San Valentin

My first MM fondant cake. Made it right before valentine's dinner so it was rushed (my fault). 3 layer strawberry cake with kiwi strawberry whipped cream center with a lemon/vanilla frosting. Covered in pink and "red" Xs and Os along with a few marbled hearts.
