Wedding Cupcakes

I did a wedding recently where the bride wanted cupcakes because she had to travel w/ her wedding party to their destination- plus she really liked cupcakes! I did two flavors- Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting and Vanilla w/ a Raspberry filling and Vanilla Buttercream frosting. The bride and groom still wanted the traditional "cutting of the cake" so I made one giant cupcake for them to slice into:

The giant cupcake has a hole on the top b/c the cake topper (which is the bride and groom's initials in monogram style) wouldn't be inserted until they arrive at the wedding. Once I get a picture from the bride of the completed look, I will post it.
The flower decoration on the cupcakes are candy melts in a mold.
This is how the cupcakes travelled- only the best for these little babies!

black and white cupcakes


These cupcakes were for a black and white themed birthday party. The cupcakes were pumpkin cake w/ cream cheese frosting (the white) and chocolate cake w/ dark chocolate frosting (the black). To decorate, I used large pearl sprinkles and an edible glitter black gel frosting. These cupcakes went fast!

Three of these tiers are chocolate raspberry and the 4th tier is vanilla/ lemon. White fondant and purple satin ribbon enrobe each layer while royal icing pearl dots create a delicate border.

Disco Party!

These 3 disco balls are chocolate cake that were made for a disco-themed birthday party! The cakes are frosted w/ buttercream and then "tiled" w/ squares of fondant and then painted w/ a silver edible shimmer and the letters are wafer chocolate. The pictures don't do it justice.

pearly dot cake



This wedding cake was for 200+ guests and all of the cake is vanilla but the bottom, middle and top tier are filled w/ the french vanilla custard and the other 2 tiers are filled w/ lemon custard. This was my first lemon filling and it turned out really well!

Box of Presents Wedding Cake



The bride wanted the cake to look like a box of presents and she wanted the cakes to sit on top of each other in a topsy turvy way. The cake was all chocolate raspberry w/ fondant. The blue ribbon and bow is fondant in periwinkle blue w/ a painted edible shimmer and the silver flowers are gum paste w/ a painted edible silver shimmer.

misc. cakes

The ribbon is fondant and the roses are made of gum paste. 
I love the basket weave design on this cake. 
This was a graduation cake and purple and black were the school colors.

More Bridal Shower cakes

This is a chocolate raspberry cake with a faux engagement ring around the raspberry, indicating the bride's piece.

This cake was supposed to be more elaborate but the color, mistakenly, turned too dark, therefore, the design had to be simple. I do love the monogram initials on the cake though.
