Peach Bellini Cupcakes

I found this recipe on Pinterest a while back and vowed that I would make these one night for wine night. It's the May 24 weekend also known as Lindsay's birthday weekend. So, I figured we'd start the weekend celebration off with these.

I followed the recipe that came from the blog Sing For Your Supper pretty much to the letter. I did add some extra Peach Schnapps to the icing though. They were quite yummy and I will make them again. Next time I would probably use two peaches, and definitely Ontario grown ones. The icing recipe barely covers the two dozen cupcakes. I topped these ones off with some silver flakes. Also, next time I go to Milestones and order a Bellini, I'm going to see if I can get some extra plastic animals that they always put on top of their drinks for the cupcakes. This time I wasn't organised enough and only thought of that yesterday.

80th Birthday Cake and Cupcakes

For this 80th birthday I was asked to make 6" cake and 8 dozen cupcakes. I was told that the birthday girl liked flowers so that's what I went with for the decorating. I absolutely love how this cake turned out. It was a two layer 6" cookies n' cream (this time I didn't forget any ingredients!) cake. I covered it in pale blue fondant, with soft pink and white flowers. I made a large three layer rose the night before with some leaves so they would have enough time to dry out. For "80", I cut out two of each number out so I could hide the cocktail stick between the two layers. I had just enough of the soft pink ribbon to go around the bottom of the cake to finish it off. Now, for the cupcakes I did raspberry cupcake with raspberry mascarpone icing, lemon cupcake with lemon cream cheese icing, caramel cupcake with salted caramel icing topped with caramel sauce and cookies n' cream cupcake with buttercream icing. Two dozen of each went t...

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.

WWE Birthday Cake

To decorate this cake I covered it in vanilla buttercream. The sides I covered in black fondant. To hide the uneven edge of the fondant I added a red border around the top. For the corners of the ring I used red bubble tea straws I had on hand wrapper with some DMC black floss and topped with black fondant. Happy Birthday I cut out with fondant. The WWE logo I printed off and backed it with a laminated piece of red card stock. Tommy was cut out using my Cricut machine. Cake: 10" chocolate layer and vanilla layer with vanilla pudding filling.
