Super Mario Cupcake Cake

I had a lot of fun making this cupcake cake. Three dozen cupcakes fit perfectly to make up the 7. I realized too late that I had forgotten to get red and blue food colouring for the icing and was trying to figure out what I was going to but then I surprised myself and had just enough red and blue food colouring that didn't end up using taking me very long to get the vibrancy I wanted. I was so happy that I was able to do what I had originally envisioned.

Three dozen vanilla cupcakes with sprinkles decorated with vanilla buttercream. Added some mini M&Ms, sprinkles and some gold dust. I dabbed a little icing on the bottom of each cupcake as glue to "stick" them on the cake board.

Happy Birthday Adam I cut out using my Cricut machine. All the Super Mario Characters I printed off and fussy cut each out leaving a white border. Then I had Miss E laminate them and fussy cut them out. She saved me so much time! Laminating them makes it really easy to stick into the icing and they won't get ruined.

Adam and his brother were so excited for the cake. It was so much fun to see them oohing and aahing over all the characters.

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.
