Pink Champagne Mimosa Cupcakes
I was able to combine two of my favorite things: cupcakes and mimosas! This idea all started because I recently heard of a new type of pink champagne I wanted to try and I’ve also been meaning to try my hand at making champagne cupcakes. Then I decided that I may as well go that…
Sexy Valentine’s Day Cupcakes
Looking for something quick and easy for Valentine’s Day? Here are four ideas to dazzle your loved one’s sweet tooth!
Shark Bite Cupcakes
Sharks! Theses were a request from someone who was looking for something different for her son’s birthday. I wasn’t quiet sure how this shark cupcake idea would work out, but I’m very happy with the results. I started out by frosting the cupcakes with light blue frosting and adding white details for sea foam. I…
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…
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…
Valentine Dinosaur Cupcakes
Dinosaur cupcakes, all dressed up for Valentine’s Day! These dinosaurs are the same as in my previous dragon cupcake post, only with hearts added instead of wings. In making these cupcakes you could use a variety of colors such as hot pink, purple, light blue, yellow, and light pink. These dinosaurs can also easily be…
Christmas Tree CupCake
‘Tis the season! Time to start decorating the house, and cakes, for the holidays! To make this cupcake cake I arranged twelve cupcakes in the shape of a Christmas tree. To give the tree ‘pine needles’ I used a #22 star tip and worked from the bottom row up to give it a layered look….
Turkey CupCake
A CupCake turkey for Thanksgiving! This pull-apart cupcake is made with twelve cupcakes, both chocolate and yellow. The cupcakes are ‘glued’ to the cake board with frosting to keep them from moving. First, the feathers are formed by using a large rose tip. Next, the body, head, and wings of the turkey are added with…
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…
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…
Monkey Cake
This cake always makes me giggle. For some reason it just always comes out looking goofy. Another egg-shaped cake, this time frosted in chocolate buttercream. After smoothing out the frosting I make the ears, adding pink for the inside of the ear. Next, I use yellow buttercream frosting to make the mouth area. On top…
