Cupcakes for Whispering Hearts Horse Rescue

They were done for a fundraising event at Hagersville. I was told by Jan, a man came and bought all of them for his World Cup party - well I hope he supported Spain! They were chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with chocolate glaze and vanilla buttercream for the grass. Oh yeah, with a hint of peppermint in the icing!

Sheep

saw these cupcakes on a website and I knew I must give it a try.
Well I wasn't feeling well on that day, so I just put my sketch book at the back and everything on the cupcake tray and snap, snap.

Canada Day

Vanilla cupcakes with fondant flags and royal icing maple. I'm not sure whether I will want to work with Royal Icing anymore, cos they break easily. Maybe I just have to find another recipe?

School Theme cupcakes



I had fun making these cupcakes - they were for my mum in law's friend Susan. Vanilla cupcakes with Italian Buttercream and Chocolate Cupcakes with American Buttercream. They were decorated with fondant books, blackboard, rulers, pencils and apples.

I did a different recipe this time for the vanilla cupcakes. Is from a famous bakery in NYC. I was a bit hesitant at first cos I heard it didn't turn out for some people, but it did for me. I love the taste - is just so vanilla. No wonder people line-up for them...well at the bakery anyway.

Butterfly cupcakes

Well I have been wanting to try my hand on butterflies with "hole" in it - okay, let's call it the see-through butterflies ..and since I have some Royal icing left from my cake class, I thought I will try it. Lesson learnt - always use new batch of royal icing for this or it will break when you peel it off the wax paper ;)...But I managed to save a few.
