Delectable Cupcakes

February 23, 2013

I made these cupcakes for a luncheon celebrating a baby's christening. I'm usually asked to make cupcakes with a focus mostly on the design by incorporating specific colors, themes, characters, etc., so it was exciting to get the opportunity to pretty much just focus on TASTE!! The request was made for two varieties of cupcakes...something chocolate and something strawberry.

The cupcake on the left is for true chocolate lovers as the cake is a dark chocolate dipped in chocolate ganache then iced with a decadent chocolate buttercream & topped with mini morsels. For adults, I'm thinking a perfect complement to a glass of dry red on a Friday night.

The cupcake on the right is a perfect complement to a Spring or Summertime event or possibly a lunchtime dessert as the vanilla cake & strawberry filling iced with a strawberry buttercream is much lighter in taste.

Both were delicious & looking forward to further experimenting with taste combinations!!

Scooby Doo Space Cupcakes

I received a request for cupcakes for a Scooby Doo Space themed party for a little girl. The mom sent me a picture of cupcakes she had found online of aliens in plastic sundae cups....or, spaceships. ;) Each Scooby was molded by hand out of edible fondant. Antennas were added behind Scooby's ears as a final touch to the space theme.
