Dinosaur cake

I made this for my friend's nephew's birthday party. It was the first tiered cake that I made successfully. I was really happy with the results.

Sundae Cupcakes

I made these for my best friend's birthday. I baked mini strawberry cheesecakes inside each one. I also had flavorings for each of the frostings to make them taste like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. Instead of candles, I topped them with hollowed out strawberries, filled them with Bacardi 151 and set it on fire. It was really cool!

Sophia's 8th Birthday Cupcakes

I made these for my boss's daughter's 8th birthday. She couldn't decide what she wanted so I just cut out little 8's and S's to put on them.

Over the Hill Cupcakes

I made these for a 50th birthday party of a lady I work with. Nothing fancy here. I just got some chocolate and made the shapes of the tombstones on some parchment paper. The dirt was just some crushed Oreos.

Happy 5th Anniversary Bohemian Hill!!

It looks crooked, but I think it's just because the "foam" is piled up more on the other side.  It didn't look crooked in person.

Beer Cake - $50
Billiard Cupcakes - $25

I made these for my friend's mom who owns a bar in Rosenberg, Texas.  It was their 5th anniversary and they were throwing a party for all their bar guests. 

The beer cake was 6 layers of chocolate cake with buttercream frosting.  The beer flow was a plastic dowel rolled in isomalt that was dyed an amber color.

The billiard cupcakes were chocolate with fondant on top.  I wasn't too happy with the results.  The cupcakes were HUGE and the fondant didn't fit quite right on them.  They look a little sloppy.  However, everyone loved them.  Thank goodness!!

Tangled Cupcake Tower

 Tower, cupcake stand, 24 cupcakes: $65

I made this for a friend of mine's daughter.  Her theme was from the movie Tangled.  I've never seen the movie before, but I scoured the internet for some inspiration.  I saw a tower just like this and I had to recreate it.  I'm so glad I did.

The tower itself was made out of rice krispie treats and an ice cream cone for the pointy top.  I covered it in buttercream and white marshmallow fondant.  The rest of the colored pieces on the tower were made of gumpaste because I had a lot on hand. However, the flowers were made of marshmallow fondant and the vines were green buttercream.

I made the cupcake stand out of 3 different sized cake drums and I found some pink glitter tape in the scrapbooking section at Michael's that was the perfect size to go around the cake drums. In between the cake drums were 2 different sized cake dummies that I wrapped in white satin ribbon and then decorated them with some pink 3D flower stickers.

The cupcakes were simple so it wouldn't clash with the rest of the piece.  I just found some edible glitter to put on top to give them an extra sparkle.

I wish I had more time to make this because I wanted to do so much more. I wanted to do Rapunzel hair to wrap around the whole thing and then make a Pascal to go on the roof. However, I'm pleased with the result and I think Krislyn liked it too.

Ms Pac-Man Cupcakes

16 cupcakes - $35
 
Made for these for one of the sweetest gals I know.  It was her friend/coworker's birthday and she surprised her with these at work.  She gave me a picture that she found on the internet and I reproduced it, but put my own spin on it.  The picture she showed me had yellow dots and they were all big.  I decided to make them look more they do on the game.  Since this was for a female, I changed Pac-Man to Ms. Pac-Man and added a strawberry because they were strawberry cupcakes.  The picture had black fondant as the background, but I decided to dip the cupcakes in black sugar instead because black fondant doesn't taste very good.  All in all, I was very happy with the result.  It did take me much longer than I anticipated though because I didn't have a template to go off and kind of just cut everything by hand and hoped they were all consistent in size.  Thank goodness it all worked out!!
