Naughty cupcakes for a friend's hen's party

A friend of mine is getting married in less than a month, so we had a perfectly sophisticated and polite (and fun!) picnic at Centennial Park followed by dinner to celebrate. To rock things up a little bit, I made some naughty cupcakes. Leave it to me to corrupt her poor and innocent soul ;) I had lots of ideas in my head but I decided to keep it a little more subtle so as to not mortify her too much.

The cupcake is a standard vanilla cupcake with American buttercream icing. The "goods" are made out of fondant. Instructions? Mould to desired size and shape. Lol.

My army of penises

It was hard to get a closeup shot because it was too small.

In retrospect, I would have picked a different colour for the icing. I was not expecting to be asked if I meant for the genitalia to be "lying on a bed of......." Ummm...how about you use your imagination for that one. :P

Hummingbird cake for Will's 24th birthday

I made a hummingbird cake, which is a Southern cake with pineapples, bananas, cinnamon using Will's mom's recipe and a cream cheese icing. I didn't think that that much icing sugar could get mixed into one single package of cream cheese, but it did and surprisingly it didn't taste too sweet at all.

I didn't do anything too fancy this time - just a few swirly borders sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and the sides covered with chopped pecan nuts. I wrote a little birthday message in the centre to finish it off, but the photos didn't turn out too great.

The making of Eeyore...

"Oh, dear..." ~Eeyore

"It's not much of a tail...but I'm sorta attached to it" ~ Eeyore

"After all, what are birthdays? Here today and gone tomorrow" ~ Eeyore

"Thanks for noticing me" ~ Eeyore

Little birdies for Diana's 23rd

To make the birds, you first have to crumble your cake, mix it with icing and roll it into an egg-like shape. To finish, cover with fondant and add details.

My first attempt. He's a bit lumpy and retarded looking, but I got better eventually!

Painting eyes and letting feet dry

The yellow one kinda looks like he's trying to runaway, doesn't he?

Shots from every angle. I can't seem to get enough of these little critters!

Business Card

Will put together a business card in time for me to go with my first cake sold. Thank you!! <3

Danish flag cake + seal cake topper

My first made to order cake. I was asked to design a cake that included a Danish flag and a very cute seal + a sign saying "Don't Kill Me".

Step 1: Making the cake toppers

The Danish Flag

The naked seal on an iceberg

The little seal all dressed.
He's all edible except for his whiskers which are made out of wire used to make sugarpaste flower sprays.

With his 'Don't Kill Me' sign - Does he look mopey enough?

Step 2: Putting it all together

I made a yellow butter cake and froze it to facilitate carving.
Cut the cake to size and cover in buttercream
Place flag cake topper carefully

Pipe the borders using a star tip

Place the seal topper on top

Save the seals!

A cake topper made out of fondant for Izzy's boyrfriend's birthday. I didn't make the cake for it to go on, though. Everything is made out of fondant except the word 'Majesty' which was painted on with food colouring.

The making of the tulip bouquet and cupcakes

First, you roll out the fondant/sugarpaste thinly and use the cutters and then press them between a veiner. I had a photo of all the cutters and veiners and other tools I used but for some reason it won't convert into a jpeg.

You have to let it dry in the position and shape you want to set in so I let my petals and leaves mould in spoons and a bowl. You might have noticed that you don't see any of these petals in the final bouquet. That's because as I said, they weren't dry enough and they all broke on me.

Cover the cake in fondant, wrap around a decorative red ribbon to bring out the colours of the flowers.

Apply finishing touches 5 minutes before you have to rush out the door because you're already half an hour late.

And there you have it!
