Bridal Shower Cupcakes! (Kitchen Theme)

I created these for a bridal shower that was given over the past weekend. It was themed around getting gifts to stock up on kitchen stuff! (I LOVE that idea!) The bride's colors for her wedding in early Septmeber are pale blue and cream. Pretty!

Happy Birthday,Old Buzzard!

I created these little gems for a Surprise 50th birthday party which will be held at the Wine Thief bar in the new Omni hotel located in Downtown Fort Worth. (Hence the red wine bottles included in the theme.)

I tried to position the cupcakes where the buzzards were gathered around the tombstones.

Both the buzzards and the tombstones were made from 100% gumpaste. This was the first time I have worked with gumpaste and I must say, this stuff is incredible! It dries rock hard so you dont have to worry about any softening going on if they get warm, unlike fondant.

These accents were made from fondant. It's hard to see in this picture, but I brushed the 5 and the 0 with pearlized shimmer dust to make it look more silver and give it some sparkle!

I had to special order these from a bakery all the way out in Orange County, CA. It was just love at first sight. :)

This was added just incase the client didn't get why there were huge buzzards on the cupcakes. Plus, it's just plain funny.

Happy Birthday Robert! Lucky for you, 50 is the new 30! I hope your surprise party was just wonderful. :) Cheers!

Baby 'Girl' Shower Cupcakes!

I love how these turned out! They kind of have a retro look to them which is what I was aiming for. I think hot pink may now be my favorite color. :)

The first batch. (All accents are made from fondant)

Second batch. I love including inserts to a theme because it gives the customer something they can remember the cupcake by, even after it is looooooong gone. ;) (They are great for memory books too!)

I had an order this weekend where the client wanted cupcake for a strawberry theme. I also got the opportunity to use 2 new jumbo icing tips that I found at a restaurant supply company. Needless to say, I LOVE them! :)

Father's Day Cupcakes!

Happy Father's Day to all you dad's out there! I got the sports ball idea out of my brand new Martha Stewart's Cupcakes book. :) If you have an interest in baking, and want to learn some new ideas and techniques (not to mention KILLER recipes) you should go pick up a copy from your local bookstore. It's such a great book!

:)

Tennis, Baseball, and Basketballs, Oh my!

More "Thank-You" Cupcakes!

The last time I made these custom inserts, I got alot of positive feedback from the customers- so much so that one client ordered them special! The last time I made the inserts I paired them with chocolate Monarch butterflies. To switch it up a bit, I made these daisy flowers out of fondant and I really like how they turned out. Very summery! :)
Do you have anyone in your life that you'd like to send a special "Thank You" to? ;)

Angel Food Cupcakes!

These are a wonderful option if you are on a diet. Angel Food is naturally 100% fat free and I topped the cupcakes with Lite Cool Whip and fresh strawberries. Each cupcake is less than 100 calories!

Graduation Cupcakes!

I made these this past weekend for a client who was throwing a graduation party for her friend who just graduated from Brewer High School in Fort Worth. (Go Bears!)

The bottom of the caps were miniature Reeses cups (with the paper still on) and the tops were made out of black dyed fondant and blue piping.

One more view :)

I custom made the 2009 cupcake toppers. You can't really tell from the pictures but the stickers were very glittery. These are double chocolate gooey browines with a ganache topping and white piping.
