Fondant Rose Cupcakes - March 2015

My mom asked me if I could make some fondant rose cupcakes for a party she was having for the ladies that attend her stamping/card making events each month.

I really loved the way the cupcakes turned out, and my mom and the other ladies loved them as well!

Most Everyone's Mad Here... About Cake! - March 2015

I made these Alice in Wonderland themed teacup cakes and this Cheshire Cat teapot cake for my sister Casandra for her birthday.  She was having a Mad Hatter Tea Party for her birthday party and had requested these for her cake.  She had seen a Cheshire Cat teapot pin and thought it would make a cute cake.  She also asked for some teacup cakes decorated however I thought would be cute, and these are what I came up with.

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas Cupcake - December 2014

I made these chocolate and peppermint holly berry cupcakes for my husband to give to his employees for a Christmas treat.  

All boxed and ready to go!

I had some batter left so I made some for us to have at home and share with family.  I used some poinsettia cupcake liners that my sister Valerie had bought me, and I played around with some different decorations for these.

More details to come... :)

Heart Cupcakes - October 2014

These heart cupcakes went to two different places.  Some were given to one of my son's classmates and her family because her grandfather passed away, and some were given to my aunt and uncle because my aunt's mother passed away.

I baked regular sized cupcakes and mini cupcakes.  After they cooled I piped the white buttercream icing on them.  For the regular sized ones I kept the icing pretty much flat against the cupcake, but for the mini ones I built the icing up higher.  After that I used some strawberry buttercream icing to pipe on the hearts.  I don't remember what tips I used for the icing.  The hearts may have been done with a #4 or #6 round tip.

Abstract Art Cupcakes - June 2014

After I made the cakes for my daughter's teachers (see this post) I had some of the green fondant strips leftover as well as some cupcakes I had made with the extra batter.  So, I decided to have some fun and make some abstract art cupcakes for my family to enjoy.  :)

Powdered Sugar Topped Chocolate Cupcakes - June 2014

I honestly don't remember why I made these cupcakes.  I was taking or sending them somewhere...  Maybe with one of the kids.?  Anyway, I don't remember.  :)

I baked the chocolate cupcakes, and let them cool.  Then, I sifted some powdered sugar on top of them and finished them off with some chocolate shavings.

Easy, pretty, yummy.  :)

(Below is a picture before I put the chocolate shaving on them, in case you like that look better.)

Rock Candy Baby Shower Cake - March 2014

I made this cake for my sister Valerie and her husband Josh for a baby shower in honor of their 2nd baby.  I also made some gluten free cupcakes (regular and mini) that matched the cake for some of her friends who have a gluten allergy.

My sister had seen the basic rock candy cake design in a picture.  She wanted to change the colors of the candy to go with their baby theme colors and wanted to add a personalized fondant topper to announce the baby's name.  I ended up making homemade rock candy for the cake.

Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes - March 2014

These are chocolate raspberry cupcakes.  After I made the Switchfoot themed cupcakes (you can see the post here) I had extra chocolate ganache and raspberry sauce leftover.  So, a few days later I made another batch of chocolate cupcakes so my family and friends could have some to enjoy.

I made mini cupcakes and regular cupcakes.

Switchfoot Themed Cupcakes - March 2014

These are cupcakes that I made for the band members of Switchfoot and their crew as part of the Switchfoot Baking Club.  I brought them to a concert that my friend and I went to in March.  

For the top set I made chocolate toppers of their 'logo', some music notes, and SF for Switchfoot. The bottom set have fondant toppers with the songs from their Fading West album (the new one at the time) written across them.  In the 'background' of each topper I wrote lyrics from that particular song.
