A Green & Brown Giant Cupcake

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Here’s another big cupcake for you all to enjoy…this time in green and brown.  The “liner” on the cupcake is a chocolate shell – yum!  The base cake is a 10″ round…this time chocolate cake with chocolate ganache ;-)   Boy were Dave’s co workers lucky this month! :)



American Girl

Friday, August 21st, 2009

This was a birthday cake for 2 wonderful little girls turning 7 who love American Girl.  The standup/cutout in the middle is gumpaste and based on the old American Girl logo (see image below cake).  Cupcakes and stars on the cake were in colors to match the different girls.

More cupcakes and a big cake

Here is a sheet cake and 65 cupcakes I made for a grand opening of Marian’s new Appleton location.  The cupcake colors represent the schools logo color of royal blue and the team color of burgundy.   The seal on the cake is made from gumpaste to replicate the seal from their website (see below).  I then hand drew on the lettering and flame/torch design.  Letters on cake are fondant cut outs and all the flowers on the cupcakes are fondant cut outs.


This is the seal that I replicated from

This was a birthday cake for my dad – his request of a harley jumping out of the cake with flames :)   So here you have it!  The harley, flames, letters and skulls are out of gumpate then painted after they dry.
