Purple Flower Cupcakes

I think my new favourite colour is purple!! My friend had asked for cupcakes with purple flowers for a bridal shower. She basically left the designing to me and this is what I came up with.  I really enjoyed making all the little flowers and then dusting them, its very therapeutic ;) I hope to make something similar again!

....Congratulations to Natalie and Jorge....

Marriage is not a noun: it's a verb.
It isn't something you get. 
It's something you do.
It's the way you love your partner every day.

best wishes from Jane and Sonja

Owl Theme cupcakes

These cupcakes were made for a very special little girl named Inaya "whoo" turned one. Her mom and dad celebrated Inaya's Owl theme party on May 14 with close friends and family. The little angel was outfitted in a cute little tulle tutu and a t-shirt with a pink and white number 1 appliqued at the front . Take a look how cute she is!!! The colour theme was pink and green, which I think is perfect for any little girl!!! Selina basically gave me the go ahead to create whatever I felt like and I'm happy to say I really liked how they turned out!

she's so cute!!! looks like she's ready to pucker up :)

I noticed that when Selina had posted the photos on facebook, some of the flowers on the cupcakes melted. I have no idea that gum paste would melt, especially when I had dried them out. Not sure if anyone else experienced this before. However I spoke to Selina and she said that they had been sitting out for a while but hadn't been able to take photos until the last minute. I'm glad to hear that because when I first saw them I was so upset that they had melted. Anyhow, I learned a valuable lesson, I don't put on the toppers until a couple of hours before pickup. I remember that the cupcakes were in the fridge the night before pickup and I had the flowers on at that time!!! So now I know going forward, won't make that mistake again : )
Well, that's all for now.
Have a wonderful week everyone :)

I have many passions in life, but what I’m passionate about is CAKES! I’m a self taught baker and I’m vegetarian! Cake decorating brings me into my own little world; it’s when my imagination and artistic abilities come to life.

Besides my obvious passion for all things sweet and sticky!!! I love to create (anything and everything), read, anything that is cute, clever and handmade. I also love a good idea!!!
