Snow flake cupcakes :)

I have been having fun with snow flakes! The mini cupcakes I made for the nursery workers are church and the regular ones for a holiday dinner with friends :) Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla icing and chocolate cupcakes with chocolate peppermint icing. The snow flakes are fondant painted with pearl dusts

Chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter icing. Perfect for teacher gifts or hostess gifts for holiday parties :)

Red and Blue Flowers: Kate's cupcakes

I have known Kate for 6 years now and have gotten to do some fun cakes for her. This year she had a party that included a cake at the Skate rink, so her mom ordered a dozen cupcakes to just celebrate at home. Pumpkin cupcakes with vanilla butter cream. Fondant toppers and gum paste flowers. This was a fun color scheme I hadn't used before :)

Go Diego Go first birthday cake

Fun first birthday theme! I got to make a variety of treats for this party: Cake, smash cake and cupcakes. 

The tiered cake was marble cake with vanilla butter cream, the cupcakes and smash cake were vanilla/vanilla.

Butterfly2nd birthday

I had a lot of fun with this cake and cupcakes! I love how the butterflies came out. The cake is chocolate with peanut butter butter cream and the cupcakes are half chocolate and half vanilla. Hope the birthday girl likes them :)

Daisy babyshow mini cupcakes :)

I LOVE these little mini cupcakes! Daisies are one of my favorite flowers,so I was very happy to get to do them. Four dozen cupcakes, 2 chocolate, 2 vanilla all with cream cheese icing and gumpaste flowers. The icing color is restoration hardware blue sage :)

Pretty gumpaste flowers cupcakes

I have been enjoyed playing with these flower cutter! So, I made this for fun to brighten up Monday. Buttermilk cupcake with vanilla butter cream icing .

Puppy cupcakes!

 I don't usually take last minute orders, but as I had some time yesterday I decided to take on this one. The dad sent me a message around noon yesterday asking if I could please make some cupcakes for the last minute party he was putting together for his daughter today.

 

 Dozen vanilla, dozen chocolate, all with vanilla buttercream and fondant toppers. I had a lot of fun making the little puppies! I love how cute and bright they are :)

hello kitty cupcakes

These were done for a little girl's 4th birthday. Chocolate cupcakes with vanilla butter cream and fondant toppers. I am not a girly girl, but I really liked these :)

Rocket cupcakes

I really enjoyed making these cupcakes! Yes, I realize I say that about pretty much every project! These were made for Luca's 7th birthday. One of the first cakes I ever made, while I was taking Wilton Classes, was a start tip lighting McQueen for Luca's 3rd birthday.

 I have improved a littler since then, lol. Chocolate cupcakes with buttercream icing, fondant details.

 They were going to Duke Gardens to play with model rockets. 

Turtle themed first birthday

I have had the pleasure of making this cake and cupcakes for a friend's little boy. Chocolate cake with vanilla/almond icing and buttermilk cupcakes with vanilla/almond butter cream, fondant details.

Olympic & Brazil cupcakes

Every year, my little brother asks for an ice cream cake. To my surprise, he requested Brazilian/olympic themed cupcakes this time. I decided to do the olympic rings and Brazilian flags. Chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing and Buttermilk cupcakes with chocolate icing. Fondant details.

Yellow flower birthday cupcakes :)

Playing around with the black, grey and yellow color theme again :)

80s themed cupcakes

These were so much fun to make!! They are going to be given away tonight's game night  (Tomato Jake's at Southpoint @9pm) and were made to promote the 80s prom coming up. 

Buttermilk cupcakes with vanilla/almond icing 

Ruffle flowers cake

 I am far from girly, the only pink you will find in my closet is the pink in my Dr. Seuss's converses. But, I love DIY projects and anything crafty! I am also a huge fan of black and grey. For this project I decided to play around with the idea of fabric flowers. I love the colors! I am thinking I may do a tiered version of this and add more yellow :) 

The cake is actually a styrofoam dummy, so I made cupcakes too:

 

I am a huge fan of chocolate, caramel and pecans. So, that's what I played around with for these cupcakes and mini cupcakes. They are a deep chocolate cupcake with pecans mixed in through out and pieces of caramel. Pretty yummy! Very brownie like :)

Marvel superhero cupcakes :)

The original plan was to do a 3 tier cake, unfortunately, we all got sick this past week and didn't have the time/energy to do a big cake. Friday night I was felling a little better so I decided to adjust the design into cupcakes (with the birthday boy's help). Justin decided you cannot mix DC and Marvel characters, so he picked Wolverine, Spiderman and Ironman. 

                                 Fondant details, Ironman's gold was sprayed with Wilton's gold spray, the blue 

reactor piece was covered in silver/blue pearl dust.

I am hoping next year to get to do the 3 tier super hero cake, or I may wait till his 30th birthday.
