Purple and White Floral Dreams

These sweet purple and white themed floral cupcakes were made for a tasting session the other day. I did a combo of cut out flowers, and also roses and frangipanis. I'm not sure if there is such a thing as a purple frangipani but aesthetically it looks good!

Mini Swirls & a Birthday/Farewell!

I really love these mini swirls I made a few days ago! I could just pop most of them into my mouth and chew down the delicious goodness! I baked about 100 mini's for an office/birthday/farewell party. It was for a guy so I kept the colours natural and used blue sugar sprinkles and silver beads to decorate the swirls, and used blue icing for the lettering. The flavours were my Southern Belle, Tiramisu, Lemon Cupcake with Vanilla Buttercream and Vanilla Cupcake with Chocolate Orange Buttercream.

Guo Da Li Favour Cupcakes

I made 48 of these guo da li cupcakes last weekend for a couple. Simple decoration but when you put a box, ribbon and tag together, it's quite a lovely gift! I just bought more ribbon samples so I'll post that up soon and you can see what colours I have for my gift boxes.

Lilac & White ROM

I love the tag!

I love this view from the top, at the gorgeous deliciousness of the swirls

I really liked these pretty packages I made for an ROM yesterday afternoon. The bride was from Perth, but her sister found me online and ordered from me. They requested just simple lemon cupcakes with vanilla buttercream topped with silver dragees, and chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream topped with gold dragees. There were about 70 boxes, and I did alternate white and purple ribbons to match the personalised tag and of course the theme of the day. I imaged a damask style print on the cards, so I asked my designer to make them that day for me. Came out just how I wanted it to, and I'm very pleased with the results. Not just the card, but with everything! :)

It's All in the Pink

Just made these themed pink cuppies a couple of hours ago for a couple. I finally got a proper rose petal cutter to make my roses with! And I dusted some pink glitter on a couple of the flowers to "pop" them out a bit more. As you can see I'm working more with fondant now, it's so much fun and you can create so many pretty things with it. I just got an orchid cutter the other day so will wait for a chance to use it!

Romantic Cupcakes @ Goodwood Park Hotel

Behold my new cupcake tier!! Yahoooooooooooo! My darling sister and hubby bought it for me as an early birthday present. I've always the clear acrylic tier look, and I finally have it! It was my first time making the little cake on top look with cupcakes, and I had fun doing it. If you ask me years ago to ice a cake I was hopeless! Now after time and practice, I think I do a half decent job however I think I could have made it look smoother. One of the "holes" in the cake was caused by an undersize cake box so my apologies for that, the butter knife at the hotel helped a bit. It was a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream, true yum! The cupcakes were:

1) Vanilla Cupcakes with Strawberry Buttercream topped with White Chocolate Curls (pink)
2) Lemon Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream topped with a cherry
3) Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream topped with edible gold beads

This was a pretty big job, 300 cupcakes in total! The rest were packed up as wedding favours to guest, as shown in the last picture. They prefered the hexagonal box look hence my usual squares were missing in action. I decorated the top of the cake with fake roses in vintage shades of cream, pink and golden tones. Overall, these are the "prettiest" and most "romantic" cupcakes I've done to date. I hope to do more like these in the future!

Berry Berry Wedding @ Rendezvous Hotel

I had this wedding just on Monday, and the client liked the first ever wedding cupcakes I did which was a berry theme, a mix of strawberries and raspberries. Took me a while to set up, and the reason being that when I arrived at the hotel, this careless bell boy lifted up my big plastic box containing the boxes of cupcakes in an angle, and basically 3 boxes of cupcakes got smashed! So I spent time trying to fix the icing with a butter knife first! But all's well ends well at the end. :)
