Vintage Inspired Birthday Cake

I just completed this cake this morning, and I'm slowly starting to enjoy getting more practice on making birthday cakes. It can be quite scary because it's a lot more effort and details then cupcakes, but hey, all a good learning experience!

My customer requested a 9 inch vintage inspired cake for her daughter's birthday, and she showed me a photo for reference. She requested rosettes in different colours with green leaves, and glazed strawberries on a stick. 

Only thing was I didn't have leaf tip on me, so I had to use my tiny round tip to create the leaf effect. 

I also used Instagram to create a "vintage" look for the pictures. ;) 

Flavour of the cake was vanilla, and the centre was filled with fresh cream and macerated strawberries. The icing was a simple delicious vanilla buttercream.

The colours are so cheery, bright and beautiful!

This has got to be one of my favourite orders to date! I've been wanting to do rainbow colored cupcakes for ages (topping wise). I've made rainbow cake bases before but these colors really take the cake!

My friend works for "Skinc", the company that specializes in 7 different customized skin serums, all based on each colour of the rainbow. She requested those colours for the cupcakes and to have a topper with "Skinc" inscribed on it. 

I was so in love with the result, hence I've uploaded so many pics of the cupcakes on this post. The flavor was lemon cake with vanilla buttercream.

I hope you smile reading this post. Have a rainbow-licious day! 

11 Chocolate Cupcakes and 1 Pink "Willy"

A friend of mine ordered these cupcakes as a fun birthday treat for her friend. ;) The flavor was chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream.

A Chocolatey Happy Birthday

My lovely cupcake supporter of a few years, Kerri, ordered my "Chocolate Tango" flavor as birthday cupcakes for her hubby. 

Simple chocolate goodness. 

"Cars" Themed Birthday Minis!

These super fun minis were made for a "Cars" themed birthday party. The mummy of the lucky little boy was so well organized (thanks to Dawn for the first two photos).

She provided the cake bases which she lovingly attached the race track and checker pictures. She also printed and cut out the toppers for me, which I attached to toothpicks, so most of the work was sorted. It was time consuming to put everything together but it all turned out well in the end.

The flavors were:

• Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache and Chocolate Buttercream
• Chocolate Cake with Strawberry Buttercream
• Vanilla Cake with Strawberry Buttercream
• Sugee Cake with Vanilla Buttercream
• Coffee Cake with Mocha Buttercream
• Coffee Cake with Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting

Phew! ;)

More Baby Boy Mini Cupcakes

I made similar looking minis a few months ago, and the customer requested a similar thing for her son's Stefan's 1 month party.

Flavour was chocolate with vanilla buttercream. 

Mini Size Treats - Delectable Close Up!

These baby goodies were made for a birthday treat, and double up as tasting samplers. I took super close up shots which only elevated their delicious factor.

Flavours were coffee cake with mocha buttercream, my "Original Sin", and "Dark Decadence".

I love how the chocolate ganache looks so beautifully shiny.
