Happy New Year!!

Happy 2010 Everyone!! My first cake of the year happens to be a football themed giant cupcake. The toppers, football and jersey (my favorite part) are made of fondant.



Up next we have laptop cupcakes. My nephew Ryan came up with this idea. The cupcakes were for his Aunt Courtney who is always on her laptop!!

Finally we have the animal print cake with matching shoe cookies.

Happy Holidays!

Ok, I know I'm a couple days late!! Things were just so hectic. What would the holidays be without a Giant Cupcake??? Since it was Christmas I had to go with a giant cupcake ornament! The directions for the chocolate liner can be found here . I hope all of you had a very merry Christmas!!

Giant Tinkerbell Cupcake

I told you all this is my most popular cake. People are just fascinated by the Giant Cupcake. This one was created for Arielle who turned 9. The #9, leaves and flowers are fondant and gumpaste. The liner is chocolate and Tinkerbell is a toy topper.

Sesame Street Cupcake Tower

This weekend I created a mini cupcake tower for Xavier who was turning one. The tower featured 8 dozen mini cupcakes in chocolate and white with fondant circle cutouts. The topper was a Giant Cupcake with a chocolate liner which has quickly become my most popular cake. The Giant cupcake has a gumpaste #1 and an Elmo image. I also added #1 "confetti" (the leftover cutouts from the cupcake toppers).




I also made some simple cookies for favors.

Luau Cupcake Tower

My friend's daughter Shana had a luau to celebrate her 21st birthday and I was honored to make this cupcake tower for her. I created chocolate and white cupcakes with flip flop,flower and umbrella(non edible) toppers.

The giant cupcake topper was made using the Wilton Giant Cupcake Pan, which I totally love. I did my signature chocolate liner. Not a good swirl day for me but I think it came out pretty darn cute.

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.

Pink and Chocolate Giant Cupcake

My favorite colors are pink and chocolate brown so they were a must for my birthday cake. I created this cake using the Wilton Giant Cupcake Pan. I made a chocolate liner to coordinate with the brown liners on my mini cupcakes. The cake and cupcake were topped with buttercream and fondant "sprinkles".
