Cakespy Cuppie

I love cakespy!!! I currently own 3 original paintings and can't wait to buy more. One of my pieces sits on my nightstand, another is on my desk at work and the other is on my fridge. I spent a large amount of my day looking at this little cutie. So there was only a matter of time before I recreated him in edible form.

Pinkalicious Cupcake

After reading the book Pinkalicious to my son for the 9000th time , I decided to make the cupcake from the story. The colors are a bit off because I just used the supplies I had on hand.

The liner is made of candy here are are the directions. I used the Wilton Giant Cupcake Pan for this cake. I recommend baking your two halves seperately because they have vastly different baking times and your top swirl would be way overdone before you base. Once cooled I trim the sides on my cake to get it to fit in the candy shell. The top the cake it covered in buttercrem then rolled fondant. I added a few fondant "sprinkles" and a cherry and voila ,Pinkalicious Cupcake!!

Candy Liner for Giant Cupcake

I recently had lots of request for directions on creating the liner for my Giant Cupcake. It's a really simple. I got the idea from the Wilton 2008 Yearbook.


Supplies:
Wilton Giant Cupcake Pan
Candy Melts (any brand)
Rubber Spatula



1. Melt the candy per instructions on package.
2. Pour half of melted candy into pan.
3. Tilt pan and use rubber spatula to spread candy around until all sides are evenly coated.
Gently tap pan against your work surface to remove any air bubbles. Refrigerate until firm.
4. Apply second coat and refrigerate until completely firm. (I usually wait 20-25 minutes)
5. Unmold
6. Fill candy shell with a cake base. If you chose to bake your base using this pan you'll have to
trim the sides in order for it to fit inside the shell. I always use two 4" round cakes for my
base.
7. Decorate!! Pictured above are 3 of my finished designs.
