Wedding Reception Cupcakes

My mom's friend had a wedding reception for her son and his wife awhile after the wedding. These are the yummy cupcakes I made. She wanted something simple, so we went with vanilla and chocolate with vanilla frosting and flowers that matched the reception decor.

Bridal Shower Cupcakes

Aren't these adorable?!?! This was my second time making wedding dresses on bridal shower cupcakes and I love them! The color matches the wedding colors. One kind is vanilla and the other is salted caramel (father of the bride's favorite cupcake).

Baby Shower

I made these adorable cupcakes for a baby shower. The host didn't want something super baby-ish yet she wanted something girly. I thought these fit perfectly!

Baptism Cupcakes

Baptismal cupcakes for my niece. I made the cross and her first initial out of royal icing on fondant.

Cupcakes!

Pirates!

My mom's friend from work wanted pirate cupcakes for her son's fourth birthday. I wasn't sure if I could pull this one off, so I told her to let me think about what I could come up with. I searched around the internet and came up with a very similar picture. After studying the picture, I knew I could come up with something similar. And this is how they turned out...

They are cute but TIME CONSUMING! I've had another request since these...which made me think I should advertise that I can make them. Oh well, too cute not to share!

Gracie's 3rd Birthday Cake

Wow! It has been almost a year since my last post. Life just got too busy :/ Last month was my daughter's 3rd birthday. We had a very small family party. I had decided not to have a big party for her, but of course I still had to have something! And I really wanted to make this cake. She loves Ariel right now so I googled "Ariel birthday cakes" and most were way too hard. I found the perfect tutorial for this. Even though the cake is small, it was so time consuming. I have a new respect for cake makers and decorators. The cake was a doctored box mix (gasp!). The cupcakes were lemon with lemon frosting and vanilla with vanilla frosting. I didn't want to cut the cake (we didn't cut it at the party) because I just wanted to stare at my hard work! Finally that evening my daughter said, "Mama, aren't we going to have my cake?" Me: "(Sigh) Well, I suppose so." Finally we cut into it!
