Angry Birds

I received a birthday cake order for a boy who loves Angry Birds. I will admit, I've never played the game. I know it is shocking to most people :) I'm not a video game person, and if I do play any sort of video games, it's word games, or puzzle games.

Anyway, I had to do a little research to find out more about Angry Birds. The customer said they did not care which bird I did , their son loved all of the characters. After researching , I found that the red one seems to be the main character. At least, that's the one bird that most of the cakes I found were made of.

Here's my Angry Birds cake. It's a chocolate mud cake with a creamy chocolate frosting, and marshmallow fondant.Last week was a busy week. 80 cupcakes went out, and this cake. Next up, I have an order for a pumpkin cheesecake. Because, oh yes, I do more than cupcakes and cakes :)

Strawberry and Chocolate Mix-Up Cupcakes

Yesterday I placed an order for two people who couldn't make up their minds :)
The cupcakes were for a little boy's school birthday treat, and the dad is in love with my strawberry buttercream, but the birthday boy wanted chocolate. So I did both!

Two more orders to make and deliver tomorrow morning, so I'm headed back to the kitchen!

Hello Kitty Birthday Cupcakes

I am in the final push toward my degree, and the next month is going to be hard between preparing cupcake orders that pop up, work, family, and the 4 huge projects I have for school.

No fear, though, I'll get it all done :) I always do!
An order popped up for a friend of mine. Her daughter, the birthday girl, is a former gymnastics student of mine. Also, this family was my first ever paid order and they've gotten me some referrals. :)

The request: Hello Kitty
Cupcakes: Strawberry
Colors: Red and Pink

The rest was up to me! I haven't worked with modeling chocolate yet, so thought this was a good time to try. White modeling chocolate made the Hello Kitty heads.

Here we have: Strawberry cupcake with Marshmallow Buttercream frosting and White Chocolate Hello Kitty.

I had a happy little birthday girl when I dropped them off today!

Spiderman Cupcakes

This past week I did a birthday cupcake order for Spiderman Cupcakes. The cupcakes are chocolate and the buttercream is vanilla.
After playing with it for a bit, I decided on this as my spider web pattern.
Hope you like them! I enjoyed making them for a sweet little boy to take to school.

Pink and Purple Cupcakes

I had an order go out this morning for "pink and purple decorated chocolate cupcakes". Easy enough!

The little birthday girl is a former gymnastics student of mine, so I wanted to really do it up special for her.

The chocolate cupcakes are just a basic chocolate devil's food recipe. This order was for a classroom birthday celebration, so keeping them the same size was very important :)

Since the only instructions I received on decorations were "pink and purple", I decided to go with vanilla buttercream (with a touch of cream cheese for... creaminess :) so I could color the frosting.
Also, my favorite part, was adding a cupcake flag to each cupcake. It's so cute and really adds something special.


Completed, assembled cupcakes look smashing! (I think :)


Birthday girl enjoyed sharing them with her class. An order for her little brother's class is right around the corner! Switching from pink and purple mode, to "boy" mode :)
