Bridal Shower Cupcakes

While my kitchen is still under constructions Krumbs was kind enough to lend me their kitchen to use to do my baking. It was like being a kid in a candy store. Except I didn't know where anything was. Thankfully while they were out catering a party Kendall was on hand to show me where everything was and to learn how to decorate the cupcakes.

We baked almost 7 dozen cupcakes in the oven in 15 minutes. It was crazy fast! Kendall was an amazing help as the kitchen is huge compared to my little galley kitchen and she was doing the dishes as went. Awesome!

The kitchen got hot pretty quickly which made icing the cakes super easy to do but you had to work quickly. Kendall did the dress cake which turned out amazing. We just put a bit of icing on the bottom of each cupcake so that they didn't move on the cake board.

To make the claws on the "ring" I used the same tip, 1M, and did a few swirls.

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.
