NYE 2010

These are Champagne Cupcakes which I made for a New Years party but these would be perfect for a wedding as well. There is champagne in the batter and then after they were baked, I brushed champagne on top. Champagne was also added to the buttercream. They are pure white through and through! I added edible glitter and silver dragees for a celebratory feel. These have become my new favorite. They are so light because of the egg whites (instead of whole eggs in the "classic vanilla") and the slight (very slight) acidic touch of the champagne added to the sweetness is an added surprise. Fondant accents: Clock strikes 12, hat, blower, a few squiggles, edible glitter and some silver dragees.....

Superhero cake and cupcakes-Garner

Class cupcakes

One fondant Optimus Prime

This was a mini cake

For my son's 5th birthday he wanted just about every superhero and then some. His cupcakes had cupcake toppers that I purchased online with his name on them and then just one with a fondant Optimus Prime on top for him. His cake had the first layer for Superman (cape off the side), Batman (cape off the side), Spiderman, Hulk's fist and then topped with Luke and Darth Vader (plastic figures whose light sabers actually light up when you push the button on their backs). The cake itself is chocolate and all the accents are marshmallow fondant.

Candy

These cupcakes were done for a little girl named Josie who was turning 2 and just loves candy. Her invitations had swirled lollipops on them so I made fondant toppers that looked like swirled lollipops, ribbon candy and hard candies with sprinkles. There was a mini cake shaped like a large lollipop with her name on it! Happy 2nd Birthday Josie!

Mouse and cheese

For one of my son's teachers birthday, I found out that she loves all animals and loves cheese. So I thought about a little mouse holding a cheese wedge and then sitting on top of a hoop of "cheese" cake (vanilla cake inside). She was very surprised. Happy Birthday Ms. Naomi!

Christmas-1st Birthday

Gingerbread House Cake.

Cupcakes with trees, elves, reindeer and Santa.

Ella Grace had her 1st Birthday during the month of December. Her cupcakes matcher her invitation with reindeer, trees, elves and santas. On top of her smash cake was a little elfin baby with packages all around. She cried when it was taken away so I guess that is a good sign she liked it:-) Happy Birthday Ella Grace!
