Cupcakes

The Cake Marshal can do cupcakes too.  We had a ton of fun figuring out the flavors and decorations for the following cupcakes. These were made for a birthday celebration.

These Ice Cream Sundae cupcakes were chocolate,chocolate chip cupcakes with a scoop of icing as the "ice cream. They were topped with a waffle cone, cherry, chocolate sauce and chopped nuts.

These Raspberry Lemonade cupcakes had raspberry cake, with lemon cream cheese frosting. They were garnished with ripe raspberries and lemon peel curls.

These Pina Colada cupcakes had yellow cake with pineapple and coconut mixed in. They were then topped with marshmallow icing and roasted coconut. 

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

This cake was for a  first birthday party. This was quite a challenge to figure a way to get a smash cake as well as enough cake for the rest of the party. I decided to do more that the main character of the story. The Caterpillar was the smash cake for the one year old. What the caterpillar ate through was the cake for the rest of the party. The lollipop and ice cream cone were not cake, they were the real thing. I decided to copy the art from the book as closely as possible, which is why the icing is not completely smooth on the cakes.

Paisley Wedding

This bride and groom wanted something pretty unique. They wanted to have a touch of western in an otherwise traditional wedding. We decided to add a paisley pattern on the layers of the cake in their darker wedding color and then accent with silver.  The pearls on the cake were edible, the ribbon and pearl string on the bottom of each layer were not.

John Deere Tractor

This cake was requested for a Groom's cake, and it had to be a John Deere. It was made to scale using the actual measurements from the John Deere website. The cab was made of poured sugar so you could see through it. The tires were sculpted and there are tire tracks in "mud" on the cake board.

Cinderella

This was for a princess birthday party. This Cinderella came from a shaped cake pan. Her skin is fondant and her dress is hand piped. The name on the banner was the name of the birthday girl.

Monster Truck

This monster truck was for a third birthday party. The birthday boy loves trucks. So I made it climbing up a mountain side complete with cake rocks and graham cracker dirt.

Lemon with Pink Roses

The theme of this party was a "Bug Hunt" in the back yard.  The top picture was the lemon cream that was decorated for the adults who attended the party. This was the cake that the candles were put on. The second picture was the mini cupcakes that were made for the children at the party. They were each topped with a hand-piped chocolate "bug".
