Lex and the City

Two hundred fifty cupcakes later and I'm still alive. These cupcakes were for a crazy bat mitzvah, where the theme was Lex and the city and the client wanted the cupcakes to be fully "blinged" out. Let me just say, these cupcakes were not so easy to make considering how many there were, but they were a lot of fun to decorate.

Like I said, there were 250 cupcakes, 125 were my signature red velvet, the cake and frosting were actually dyed different color pinks so I guess you can say they were "Pink Velvet." For the frosting I used my cream cheese frosting, a classic to use with red velvet cake.

The other 125 were moist chocolate cakes, these were frosted with my white chocolate cream cheese.  I chose to used white chocolate cream cheese to keep a consistency throughout both of the cakes. We also chose a chocolate cake because red velvet is actually a spin on a chocolate cake so like I said, consistency.

Seashell Cake

This was a vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream and a chocolate bavarian cream filling. It was covered with baby blue fondant and then decorated with white chocolate seashells and sugar flowers. The chocolate was white at first but I then painted it with different colors of pearl dust and luster dust to give it that "pearl/ shell" look. I loved doing this cake it was perfect and BEAUTIFUL. Let me know what you think. Congratulations to the bride-to-be, hope this cake added on to the fun, that I'm sure you had, at your bridal shower! 

A Black and White Affair

This was an elegant black and white themed engagement party. Even the bride had a beautiful white dress with black lace. I tried my best to have the cake match the dress. It was a vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and the filling was bavarian cream. It was simply delicious. The cake was covered in white fondant and airbrushed with a pearl shine. It also had black royal icing lace piping. At  first I drew the lace with a food coloring marker, free hand, and then traced it with the icing. Then I added my hand crafted sugar flowers. It still blows my mind that just because people read my blog and see my work they are calling me and placing orders for there affair. Keep them coming! Up next a beach themed bridal shower! Thanks to everyone who let me know what they thought of the cake! And congratulations to the happy couple!
