Daisy Cupcakes

I love doing flowers.  Any kind when it comes to decorating cakes and cupcakes.  I really love doing daisies.  They are just so happy and summery.  When a co-worker asked me to do some cupcakes for her sister's birthday as a last minute request I can never say no when I get I chance to do these.


The request was for a dozen chocolate cupcakes.  Normally, the minimum for cupcake orders is two dozen.  However, I had two cakes this weekend and both of them chocolate.  I was going to be hardly any work to scoop out 12 cupcakes worth of batter!


I cut out the daisies a few nights in advance so that they would have lots of time to harden and wouldn't go soggy absorbing all the moisture from the icing.  I also added some white gel dye into the icing to make it super white.  Otherwise it would have been very obvious that the icing was off white underneath the white fondant flowers.

My Little Pony Pull Apart Cupcake Cake

For this "cake" I made two dozen vanilla cupcakes and arranged them on the cake board in the shape of the rainbow and clouds.  To make sure the cupcakes didn't move I added a dab of icing on the bottom of each cupcake. It's not that often that I get to dye icing, or six different colours at once.  You can get a really good bicep workout, Miss E was kind enough to lend her figurines as models for the picture.  The clouds piped out perfectly.  The rainbow was a little more difficult.  Next time I would put a base coat on the cupcakes to help keep the top coat more level and easier to pipe over.

Carrot Cake for July Birthdays

To celebrate my dad and brother's birthdays this year we went up to my parents' trailer to have a campfire dinner; hotdogs over the fire with a side of corn on the cob.  So good! To finish off the celebration I made one of the family favourites, carrot cake with cream cheese icing.    This was a 3 layer six inch cake with lots of cream cheese icing.  Hopefully, it was enough for Geoff this time.

60th Jack Daniels Birthday Cake

 These types of cakes are so much fun to do.  Over the top goodness!  Especially, when the original plan  was to use airplane size bottles of Jack Daniel's instead of one 300mL bottle.  When Mr T went to the LCBO he was told that they longer sell them, at least as this location, due to high theft.  The next smallest size available was the 300mL bottle; though I doubt the birthday boy was disappointed! This was a 3 layer chocolate 8" cake with Bailey's buttercream topped off with Hershey pieces, mini chocolate chip cookies, Ferrero Rocher and Whoppers sitting on top of the chocolate ganache.
