I've had a crazy few days of birthday orders this week! This is what came about from all the running around and hard work in the kitchen!
Hedgehog cupcakes! These spiky little babes are made up of a buttermilk-spice cake, raspberry preserves, cocoa cream cheese frosting & cinnamon toasted almonds :) Yum!
Also...
Another giant cupcake order came in! This one is Chocolate with Fudge Filling and a piped Vanilla Frosting rose. It's surrounded by 24 decorated chocolate covered strawberries & has a chocolate plaque with a friendly birthday message. This one was a fun project :)
So I've been experiencing a lot with a southern red velvet cake recipe. It's delicious, really. The cake has a light but buttery crumb and is perfect with a vanilla cream cheese frosting. You may have checked out my earlier velvet cake confections in the Christmas post and I'm still going strong, whipping up velvet cakes left & right! So here's a peak at yesterday's big bake: a RAINBOW velvet birthday cake!
Enjoy the pictures :)
Here's to happy baking! And a happy birthday to Meghan, too!
Giant birthday cupcakes, decorated sugar cookies, individual cakes, peppermint, peanut butter, chocolate, pistachio.... this is just a sampling of my recent baking excursions.
Phew! I just had my largest order to date- 120 cupcakes!
They were made up for the wonderful Hart family in honor of a very special surprise birthday. I think they came out great! :)
I must say, I'm very proud of this order.
12 o'clock is *Vanilla Bean with 'Deep Blue Sea' whipped Vanilla Old Fashioned Frosting and Nautical accent. Followed by- *Lemon Curd with Meringue Frosting *Pistachio with Vanilla-Nut Cream Cheese Frosting *Dark Chocolate with Red Berry & White Chocolate Chip Frosting *Vanilla-Spice with Peanut Butter filling and Salted Caramel & Whipped Peanut Butter Frosting
Thanks for looking, guys. And hey, post a comment, too! I love all your feedback :)
