Simple & Sweet Birthday Cuppies

Carrie requested some buttercream swirl cupcakes for her daughter’s 2nd birthday. She wanted more ‘traditional’ cupcakes design like a swirl and flower. I rarely do this type of design, but I try my best. I hope you like it Carrie.

These are vanilla cupcakes with Italian Meringue buttercream swirl topped with hand made flowers.

The Golden 50

This is my first order in 2010. I received an order from my company to make cupcakes for one of my directors’ 50th birthday. What an honour to be able to make his 50th birthday cupcakes. I made 90 cupcakes with 3 favours – Red velvet, vanilla with lemon curd and double chocolate.

double chocolate (dark chocolate with chocolate bites) fresh from the oven

I decided to use gold, brown and white as the theme colours. 50 is the GOLDEN YEAR, GOLD colour is a must! The frostings are chocolate ganache and Italian Swiss Meringue which match the theme colours.

The “centre piece”. White chocolate fondant topping with fondant flower lace design (inspired by Bev from SugarBloom)

Happy birthday Norman!!! Hope you like the cupcakes.

Christening Cupcakes

Received an order to do buttercream cupcakes for Christening. The colour is based on the invitation card colour design. I got the inspiration for the design from Meg & Fred.
18 cupcakes with two favours – vanilla cupcakes with lemon curd filling & white chocolate mud.
Italian Meringue buttercream swirl for vanilla cupcakes.
White chocolate ganache for white chocolate mud cupcakes.
Some close look of the cupcakes.


I also made a DIY cupcakes stand to hold 18 cupcakes. It was a last minute job for me, didn’t manage to get enough materials for the stand, so I did what I can with whatever materials I have :
2 empty milk containers
3 cake board
ribbon
paper cake liners
and here’s the final product

Glad that it turns up well with the cupcakes.
