Easter Cupcakes


Easter cupcakes are so fun! Two dozen cupcakes - half yellow, half chocolate. I tried out some new swirls for the buttercream frosting - The pink is tip 1M, the purple is tip 2D, and the green is tip 2C. I think tip 1M is still my favorite!

I made the carrots out of the pre-colored fondant; the leaves are white chocolate "clay" that I colored green.

The eggs are also made out of white chocolate "clay" and decorated with my usual buttercream frosting.

Many many thanks to The Frosted Cake N Cookie for the inspiration! There are some great instructions complete with pictures on how to make the carrots! I improvised from the fondant, but the starting point was great! I also started to attempt the bunnies from the link above, but the humidity today just was not working in my favor :(

A Daisy Day

I had a request for a birthday cake decorated like an Easter egg. The customer wanted a white base with pastel springtime colors for the egg. She also wanted some cupcakes with daisy flowers on them. Spring is such a fun time to be decorating cakes to go with the blooming flowers, warmer days, Easter eggs and Easter bunnies, and sunshine!


This is a Devil's Food oval cake with cream cheese filling and all buttercream frosting.




















The cupcakes are Devil's Food with a tip 1M buttercream swirl and buttercream daisies made with tips 104 and 5.
