Cakes & Cupcakes

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

Thanks everyone for your sweet comments about the Christmas cupcakes!  I love hearing from all of you! Well, work has been busy and I actually have a lot of random orders that I wanted to share with you…so here they are!  The first two cakes are ones that my friend Hannah and I designed for the holiday season. We thought we would go a little more modern with the designs.

This next order was for a Minnie Mouse Cupcake Cake.  I hadn’t ever done one of these types of cakes before and found it to be a little tricky.  I tried just using buttercream to make Minnie’s face, but didn’t like how it was turning out, so I decided to use fondant instead…overall I was pretty happy with it, but would definitely do some things different next time.

A couple weeks ago I had a cupcake order for an anniversary party.  The colors were lime green, gold, and brown…this is what I came up with!

And lastly, this next cake design my friend Hannah & Nadia collaborated on with me.  We wanted to do a modern tree and bird cake.

Thanks for taking a look!

Here is the last batch of random photos from my crazy week.  I did an order for a baby shower office party and they wanted cookies that were stars and cars.  As you can see from the photo I didn’t really do the realistic route, but made it more cartoon-like.  For that same order I also did chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream.  I colored the buttercream to match the cookie colors and then added a lime green fondant accent.  And lastly they order 24 mini key lime pies…these are definitely one of my favorites.

I also had a cupcake wedding last weekend…yes, one day before my friend’s wedding!  The bride had quite a colorful wedding and wanted 5 colors combined in the cupcake order…orange, deep pink, deep purple, turquoise, and sage green.  She sent me over a photo of with the sample colors and they looked quite pretty together…very vibrant and colorful.  I don’t have tons of photos of the order since I was so crunched for time and also since I had my assistant deliver the cupcakes for me.  However one of my friends who was at the wedding snapped a photo of the cupcakes for me, so I thought I would post it.  My brother-in-law made this cupcake tower for me and this was the first time I tried it out.  Each tier comes apart and there are actually four more tiers that could go on it if I wanted it for a bigger event.  Here is also a photo of one of the color schemes on some cupcakes.  They had purple heart fondant accents with their initials “I+M” on it.
