For an Italian themed party, Chi Hai sent me a cool ref image and so I decided to make spaghetti and meatball cupcakes! The cupcakes are French Vanilla with buttercream, raspberry jam, Ferrero Rocher candy and white chocolate shavings. Buon appetito!

Holiday Cupcakes Part 2

Chi Hai and I made this holiday wreathe using a little under 40 Mini Mint Marble Fudge Cupcakes with Swiss Meringue Buttercream. We added some gold dust for some sparkle and as well as some pre-made royal icing decors like the Merry Christmas banner, poinsettias in the middle of the wreathe, and the giant holly on the bottom of the wreathe, all other decorations were done with buttercream piping! We had a few mini cupcakes leftover so I made mini pointsettias as well.

Sesame Street Cupcakes

This was a big production for Aidan and Brooke's 1st Birthday Party. Jackie and I worked on concept and she did the fabulous piping. Mike whipped up the best Swiss Meringue Butter cream ever that we will probably use forever now while the Fondant Team: Khoa & Bao worked on eyes and other body parts respectively. Hahaha. It was a lot of fun and they turned out great. We didn't even have any left over and we made nearly 50 cupcakes!

Each character was a different flavor:

Elmo - Red Velvet
Cookie Monster - Cookies and Cream
Oscar the Grouch - Pistachio
Big Bird - Humming Bird

Fishing Cake

I made this cake for Khoa's Dad's 60th Birthday! It was a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. He's always wanted to catch a blue marlin in real life, so I made his dream come true through sugar! The decorations on the cake (blue marlin, boat, fisherman, etc) are all made of fondant.
