Step-by-step of how I made my Buttercream Owls

 

 

Baby Bum

I got to TWO new things for this customer!

This cake was for a baby shower, expecting a baby girl. The customer requested a Cinnamon Roll cake for one of the tiers which I hadn't yet done. It turned out pretty amazing tasting!! The second thing she wanted was a baby bum cake decor. The baby bum is entirely edible, made out of marshmallow fondant.

 

Baby Ninja

I love getting requests that really make me think! My friend Hannah asked if I would make cupcakes for her sister's baby shower. The color scheme was hot pink and lime green. The cupcakes were chocolate with mint buttercream and strawberry cupcakes with strawberry frosting. The first request, vegetarian. Her sister is a vegetarian meaning no marshmallow fondant because marshmallow has gelatin in it. Second, the baby ninja. Her sister and her husband call the baby a ninja so she wanted that incorporated in her shower somehow.

I found a recipe for a Vegan fondant that I prepared. It was so easy and less messy to make then the marshmallow fondant. The only downfall was that it stayed really soft. It would be really hard to work with for a full cake but just small cutouts is no problem. As for the ninjas....

I wanted to make little baby ninjas on the cupcakes. I tried drawing them with edible marker but the fondant was too soft. So I ended up piping them on with frosting.

My first vegan recipe!

Vegan Fondant

• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup shortening
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
• 2 pounds confectioners' sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, stir together the shortening and corn syrup. Mix in the salt and vanilla flavoring, then gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar until it is a stiff dough. If you are using a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment. Otherwise, knead by hand. If the dough is sticky, knead in more confectioners' sugar until it is smooth. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
2. To use, roll out on a clean surface that has been dusted with confectioners' sugar until it is 1/8 inch thick or thinner if you can. Drape over frosted and chilled cakes and smooth the sides down, or cut into strips to make bows and other decorations.

Diaper Shower Cupcakes

Everyone loves a baby, all precious and sweet. For this blue and green themed diaper shower I knew I wanted to do something to match. I have so many ideas running through this head of mine that it can be a bit intimidating since there is so much I've never tried doing yet (or know how to!). I decided to play around with some marshmallow fondant to see if I could come up with some cute cupcake toppers.

chocolate and vanilla with vanilla buttercream

They actually turned out easier than I thought they would, it just took a little creativeness!! I love them!!! Definitely my favorite cupcakes so far :)

Baby Shower Cupcakes

My very first baby shower cupcakes!!  Ordered by my friend Megan who was hosting her sister-in-laws shower. Her colors were yellow, green and pink and she wanted 4 flavors! I made chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with a vanilla buttercream frosting tinted in green. Then a new strawberry cupcake with strawberry buttercream frosting recipes that I will have to share later. Lastly, a triple lemon cupcake with lemon buttercream frosting.

Like the new cupcake boxes? I feel so much more professional now!!
