More "Tiffany" Cupcakes!



I really loved making these Tiffany Cupcakes again! A previous customer of mine ordered these chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream for her boss, and they were having a farewell party for her.
She said that were giving her an actual Tiffany gift, so she thought why not have Tiffany cupcakes to go with it? :) Hope they enjoyed it!

My First Zoo Wedding Cupcakes







It really was quite a journey heading up for this wedding. And quite a journey getting in and out of the zoo but it was fun! I got to take the private buggy on my way in and out. :P
This wedding took place on Saturday over the weekend, and the couple ordered the cupcakes from me back in April. It was a dark pink and cream them, and they asked for sugee and coconut cupcakes as the flavours, and a small coconut cake for the cake cutting ceremony.

For the pink roses, I had to use food spray to darken the colour a little bit and it turned out quite pretty. For the cake, I used fresh roses to decorate the top.

Roses are one of the simplest but very beautiful way to decorate cake or cupcakes. The result is simply stunning, especially with the pairing of colours.

Skull Cupcakes!




I decided to go a bit edgy for these cupcakes. ;) I made these for my trip to Manila as well, as one of my very good friend's is in a rock band and he loves chocolate cupcakes. So I thought I'd get a bit creative so I made these skull heads.
I just cut out the shape and moulded it a bit to look like a skull head, and used an edible black writing pen to draw in the faces. I finished the look with a sprinkling of edible blue glitter onto the chocolate orange buttercream.

Baby Boy & Lego Cupcakes Official Order





I made the official order for these cuppies two weeks ago! It was so fun recreating everything all over again, and my customer ordered all the flavours that I mentioned in the previous blog.
I miscounted and forgot to make one extra lego shape, so hence one "empty" lego cupcake. I also added "Kai is 4" as that's her older son's name.

Haute Couture Cupcake!




Presenting my first.....Haute Couture Cupcake! Ok I have to admit, I got the inspiration from a website. So I thought I had to try it for myself!
It was a little hard making the large flower because of the humidity, so the petals tore a little easier then usual when I was thinning them out. I made them a week in advance so they could dry properly. However I'm in need to fix the air con in my room so the temperature will be a little better for making the flowers.
I actually made 6 of these cupcakes for a girl's weekend in Manila 2 weeks ago. I used lemon cupcakes with lemon buttercream as a flavour, and the decorated one side of the cupcake with silver beads, black pearls and white pearls. All edible of course. Then the flower to finish.
Unfortunately, after hours on the plane and day before the girl's dinner, the weight of the flowers kinda flattened the cream. However I also put it down to the fact that my friends didn't keep the cupcakes in a cool enough area so the cream sorta melted.
But I'm glad I managed to take a picture of the finished pretty product! I hope someone orders this soon for a wedding or fancy event. :)
