Minion Cupcakes

On Thursday I get a message at work from a coworker asking if I could do an order for this weekend.  I laughed out loud and wrote back that I was already over booked.  Not even for cupcakes, she asks?  Now I'm already doing a gazillion for my Grandma's 90th birthday party on Sunday, so what was adding a few more dozen at this point?  Then she mentioned that it was a Minion theme.  I can't resist doing anything with Minions!  Damn her!  So of course I agreed to do it.  Again, thank goodness I was off on Friday!



This is what I spent most of Friday doing!  34 minion heads, half girls and half boys. At first I was stressed at doing so many little bows; I wasn't sure how i was going to get them all uniform looking.  Then I saw on YouTube to take two hearts and a circle to make a bow.  Ingenious!  


For the birthday boy and girl, I did their own special cupcake.  Even though these took me most of the day, I really had fun doing them.  It was so relaxing.


These vanilla and chocolate cupcakes were picked up this morning.  I was so glad I got to do them.

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.
