Easter Cupcakes - Birds Nests

I made these Birds Nest Cupcakes for the Easter brunch at work this year. I have fond memories of my mom making these or in a  cake version for my birthday as a kid, since Easter falls on or around it. All you need for these is sweetened shredded coconut, which you dip your iced cupcakes into, then add 3 mini eggs in the middle! You can also add some green food colour to the coconut to give it a grassy look. 

Quick and easy and looks so pretty!!

Baby Boy Shower Cupcakes

I did 40 cupcakes recently for a clients daughter's baby shower. I made some little circles out of fondant and wrote out the letters to say 'welcome baby boy' with dark chocolate, and added some blue glitter and pearls. Simple yet cute!

Baby Bum Shower Cake - take 2

If you remember, I did my first baby bum cake earlier last year, but last week I showed a client a photo of that cake and she wanted it for her daughters baby shower. The cake colours are gender neutral in a soft green and yellow. I added fondant circles around the cake to match the blanket over the baby bum. I just love making those cute little fondant feet :) The cake flavour was vanilla with lemon curd filling and Swiss meringue buttercream, definitely a fave with the ladies at the shower.

SHARKNADO Cupcakes!!!

Ok so I'm sure you have at least heard of Sharknado the movie, which has become a huge cult hit! I know it's a ridiculous idea of a movie, and the acting is horrible, but it's supposed to be like that! It makes the movies even better!! Anyways,  my chef is a little obsessed with the movie, and when the sequel came out this summer, that's all we talked about at work. His birthday was this past week, and I had the idea to make him Sharknado cupcakes for a surprise. They were a hit, especially with his kids!

The tornado is made from sugar cones with white chocolate drizzled around, and gummy sharks flying through the air. Blue butter cream as water on top of my decadent chocolate cake!

I think Wayne was happy! lol

The night before Kadie and I decorated his office with balloons and streamers and I told him a sharknado must have hit his office last night...

Retirement Party

I recently was asked to do a slab cake for a retirement party along with 10 dozen cupcakes. I did Red Velvet and Vanilla cupcakes, and chocolate with salted caramel filling for the slab.

I used the redvelvet crumbs around the outside of the cake to match with the cupcakes. The company's colours are red and white, so it went together nicely. I added some crispy chocolate pearls on the cake as well as on the vanilla cupcakes.

Red Velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting!
