Go Hannah! Go Hannah!

A request for a duplicate design of one of my previous Hannah Montana cakes. This is what 1 dozen cupcakes look like.

Bridal Shower Cupcake Tower- Carolina blue & dark brown color theme

This was for a bridal shower I did recently. All went really smoothly and turned out nice. Everything is edible fondant, except for the ribbon. Some of the cupcakes I covered in fondant per the request of the customer. I like that look!
I bought these cupcake liners (black) from Viking Imports and they are horrible!! This is my second time using them and both times they pull away from the cupcake as the cake cools. Why in the world would you make and sell a cupcake liner that doesn't attach to the cupcake? I just sat the cupcake down in to another liner and it was alright. I'm just going to use my plain old white ones from now on. They never fail AND they're bigger!

(This is 3 dozen cupcakes on my square tower)

Princess Castle Cupcake/Cake Tower

OK, so this cake was iced with cream cheese icing. I've never piped icing decorations on to a cream cheese iced cake. After the 40 minutes it was out and then to the party, the poor icing was melting. I've got to research if there is a certain type of icing that will stay stable on cream cheese icing. This was a fun one though except for that one glitch. The castle top is all made from edible fondant. The Sleeping Beauty figurine on top was added by the customer. The princesses along the side were pics I printed out. The upclose pic of the cake if prior to delivery.

Mardi Gras!

This is an order for 100 cupcakes with a 2-tier cake. Mardi Gras Sweet 16 B-Day Party! How cool! I used cutters and molds for the mardi gras beads and masks for the cupcakes. I used a mold from Michael's to mask the fondant mask. I hand painted everything with luster dusts in various colors. My first time painting with them. Everything is edible! Even the glittery 16 on top! The best part about making cakes and cupcakes is the excitement when the customer sees them. They were sooooo happy!

The cake tower with the feathers was my inspiration cake.

Luau Theme Cupcake/Cake Tower

This one was so much fun! I loved the colors. I went with an aqua blue color and a deep yellow color. I think it went well with the decorations and Leann, the Mom of the birthday girl, Kennedy, did a fantastic job with the decorations and the whole theme of this party.

Jonas Brothers Cupcake Tower

So this was a challenging order. I had to remake the cake because the original one was TOO MOIST! Once again, another learning experience. It turned out ok. I wanted a few more shooting stars and I wanted them to be higher, but I did not use a strong enough gauge wire. I will from now on and won't have that problem again. The customer asked for the Jonas Brothers picture to be on top of the cake. I laminated it and attached toothpicks to the back and just stuck it in. The little girl was turning 6 and her name was Kharin.

Hannah Montana Cupcake Tower

This was a small order, only 1 dozen cupcakes with matching cake. This was fun. I did learn, however, that my cakes are too moist. Is that possible you say? Yes, because the small stars on top were supposed to be on wires and shooting out the top. I had five total made to put up there. Because my cake was too moist, it wouldn't hold them in. I had to cut the wire off and just stick them in the cake itself. When I did this with my fondant cake, it was fine because the fondant is more firm and held it in with no problems. It's all a learning process!!

My first fondant cake!

This was for a little girl's 5-year birthday party. The theme was Bratz/Diva. The Mom wanted the Bratz cupcake picks in each cupcake. I designed the cake. I had a blast making it, although my nerves were rattled a couple of times! I think it turned out nicely.
