Seeing Spots

This past weekend my boyfriend's sister got married in North Carolina. We drove the cakes down with us and actually survived the trip. She had a "candy bar" at the reception and wanted a cake to match, plus a Bob Marley groom's cake. I made all the candy buttons by hand and stuck them on individually. The groom's cake design was printed on my sugar printer.

Weekend at Tiffany's - sort of

There were two seperate Sweet 16's this weekend with Tiffany blue as a theme!

First one was a little wild with leopard spots hand painted and 75 Tiffany blue cupcakes to match:

And the second one:

I also had a 1st birthday with a special Phillies cupcake for the older brother with a birthday around the same time. The cupcakes were made to match the colors and theme of the paper goods the parents ordered and were three flavors: Oreo cake with a special Oreo creme icing, vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and red velvet with a cream cheese icing:

Fashion and a trip to Paris (at least as far as cupcakes go)

I was asked to make a cake that incorporated pink flowers and zebra strips and eluded to the stylings of Betsy Johnson. I think it was as success, how about you? Everything is edible and hand sculpted. I think Betsy would be proud?

I also got to make character cupcakes for a book (comic and cartoon as well) that I had never heard of, Barbapapa. It is a popular series outside of the US and I was happy to try something completely foreign to me. The client was pleased and that is was counts.
