Cupcake Birthday Cake

One of my first cakes I made for Miss E was using a heavy duty cupcake shaped pan. That was over 10 years ago. I used the pan once and several years later I donated it to Value Village. Fast forward 10 years, I have a request for a cupcake cake. I contemplated ordering a silicon pan but decided I would make one from the pans I already had and use on a regular basis.

For this vanilla cake I used three 6" pans for the base and half of the baseball Wilton pan to form the top. The cake was assembled with salted caramel icing, The bottom had no dye and top I dyed it teal.

To top off the cake I added some edible decorations topped with a "cherry". For the lettering on the board, it was cut out of vinyl using the Cricut Explore Air.

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.
