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!!

Ski/Golf Custom Cake

Last month I made a custom birthday cake for one of our members at the club who turned 90! What an amazing man! He still golfs and skis on a regular basis, at 90!!  So I made a chocolate cake for the ski hill, and carved it to make the hills. Then I made a Lemon Vanilla cake for the golf side. All the little details are made with fondant. I even made the little banner and pennant for the cake toppers.

Wedding Cupcake Tree

Back in October 2010, I did this cupcake tree for my brother's wedding. I made 200 cupcakes in chocolate, carrot cake, and lemon. I even made all the toothpick decorations. They had birds as part of their theme, so I hand stamped them all and punched out scallop circles and adhered them to the toothpicks.  

Tada! Here I am with the finished product!

I was so happy to be asked to make my brother's wedding 'cake'.

Woodland Animals 1st Birthday Party (Part 2)

For this Woodland Animals party I did an adult cake (shown above), as well as the smash cake for the birthday girl ( with the owl).  I wanted the cake to resemble a tree stump with the chocolate icing. I made some little fondant toadstools and party animals to go on the top. There's a deer, fox, hedgehog, squirrel and owl, all with little party hats! I used some green sprinkles as grass, and a few flower and strawberry toothpick decorations.

I made the little banner using different washi tapes on hemp twine and tied it to wood patterned paper straws.

Here's the smash cake, complete with a fondant 1.

The birthday girl enjoyed her cakes and cupcakes! The first thing she grabbed was a fondant toadstool! LOL

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!
