Tractor Cupcakes
The design for these began when someone asked for a tractor cupcake cake. She wanted a red tractor, resembling an International tractor. I thought about it and thought individual cupcakes with tractors would be fun. So I came up with these designs. First, I did some research and drew up two different templates. I then…
Karate Cupcakes
Here are some cupcakes I made for a karate theme birthday party. The party was to take place at the dojo, and cupcakes were a less messy option than a cake. The only request given was that the karate uniforms on the cupcakes match the birthday boy’s uniform, which was black with red.
Mint Chocolate Chip Cake with Cupcakes
A mint chocolate chip cake is quick and easy to make, and I am very pleased with how tasty it looks too! While mixing the batter I added in some chocolate chips. After putting the batter into the cake pan, and cupcake papers, I added a few more chocolate chips on top. While everything was…
Sweet Sixteen Cake
I made this cake in honor my niece’s for her sweet sixteenth birthday party. She likes all colors, which suited me just fine! I wanted to make her a three tier cake since it was a special occasion. The top tier was just for her to keep and take home. The bottom tier was yellow,…
Lizards of Many Colors
I’m always looking for new animal designs to put on cupcakes, so I really enjoyed making these lizards! Since lizards can change their colors I had an excuse to make these as colorful as I wanted! I first made a heavy glaze and dipped the tops of the cupcakes in it to produce a smooth…
Painted Turtle Cake
This cake was made for a friend who loves turtles and bright colors. I had previously made the Spring Frog Cake for her and I wanted to continue that theme. To make this cake a little different I decided to use a square shape. I used yellow cake and put a strawberry filling between layers….
Football Cupcake
Football cupcakes in honor of the Super Bowl! I made yellow and chocolate cupcakes and decorated with buttercream frosting. I used a large sized grass tip to pipe grass all over the top of the cupcake. Next, I used a #8 round tip to pipe a football on top of the grass. I then outlined…
Faerie and Mermaid Cake
Here is a cake that was a lot of fun to do. This idea all started out in the imagination of my eight year old niece. She wanted a faerie and a mermaid on her cake. I wanted to do a two tier cake and decorate each according to the mythical creature that would be…
Hot Chocolate Cupcakes
One of my favorite cold weather cupcakes! The third cupcake in my gourmet series. I started out with an extra chocolaty cupcakes and topped them with chocolate whipped topping to give the cupcakes a creamy texture on top. Next, I drizzled chocolate syrup over all of them. Hot fudge could also be used as a…
Mario Block Cake
This is one of my latest fondant cakes. I made this as a birthday cake for a couple of my family members who really enjoy playing Mario. I piled together yellow cake and made sure it was a perfect cube, then the whole cake was covered in gold fondant. Next, I cut a piece of…
Sea Creatures Critter Cupcakes
I made these cupcakes per request for a pool party. In total there were around fifty cupcakes. I had four different designs; starfish, octopus, crab, and fish. My personal favorite is the starfish. Although, everyone else has their own favorite as well. I used bright colors for summer. The white wavy lines are there to…
Topsy Turvy Cake
Another fondant cake. This time I was experimenting with the ‘mad hatter’ style. The layers are cut diagonally and stacked together to achieve an unbalanced look. I put a filling in the cake. This probably wasn’t the best idea as the layers wanted to slide. It was a very interesting experience trying to get the…
Dragon Critter Cupcakes
These dragons are one of my favorite designs. Instead of having a direct forward profile like my dog, cat, and frog critter cupcakes, I decided to try laying them on their side. I’m really happy with how they turned out. To make the body and head I use a #8 round tip. The legs, tail,…
Tree Frog Critter Cupcakes
I made these tree frog cupcakes for a birthday party. These are a bit more difficult than the previous critter cupcakes I have made. After frosting the cupcakes I started decorating them by piping two large leaves with blue/green buttercream. Next, I used a #8 round tip to pipe the body and head of the…
Hamburger Cakes
This cake is not my original design, there are many hamburger style cakes out there. I have however taken the original idea and given it my own twist. The bottom and top ‘bun’ are yellow cake. The middle ‘burger’ is a chocolate cake sliced in half. To get a somewhat accurate ‘bun’ color I mix…
CupCake Flower
A CupCake flower. The design can be modified by changing the color of the petals and flower center. I like putting a face on the flower, but sometimes I go without. The butterflies can be left off as well. I think the butterflies and the face give it a more child friendly flair. As in…
Frog CupCake
A popular design for Spring; the frog CupCake. What I like about this design is how the frog looks at the fly like he is contemplating lunch. I have made this kupcake using a darker green frosting as the basis and using a lighter green for the outline. I prefer the lighter green with dark…
Turtle CupCake
Another CupCake, this time a turtle! The turtle is one of my more popular designs. I sometimes use different colors for the shell depending on what people prefer. As with all the CupCake designs, I tint the board with food coloring to compliment the frosting colors I use.
Lion CupCake
Here is a lion CupCake design I came up with. A CupCake is a group of cupcakes arranged in a shape and then frosted together as one cake. In all the CupCakes I make there are twelve cupcakes, usually half yellow and half chocolate. As with all the CupCake designs, I tint the board with…
