Our Cakes Throughout the Years: Blackberry and Rosemary Cupcakes

Blackberry and Rosemary Cupcakes
This was a "test kitchen" cupcake my mom and I collaborated on. We had leftover vanilla cake batter, and decided to add fresh blackberries, rosemary, black pepper, lemon olive oil, blackberry ginger balsamic to the batter. The taste of these cupcakes were amazing!!!!! We had leftover vanilla buttercream frosting, and just added a little bit so as not to take away the taste of the cupcakes. I can't wait to make these again!!

Our Cakes Throughout the Years: Pink Skull Cake

Pink Skull Cake
This cake was designed for my friend's daughter's birthday. The birthday girl requested a pink skull theme. The cake is covered in whipped frosting, and decorated in pink and black buttercream. The border on the bottom is black fondant painted with edible black glitter. I handcarved the skull out of gumpaste, and painted it in edible pink glitter paint. The cake topper is a gumpaste heart painted in hot pink glitter paint, and I made the scroll out of gumpaste. I wrote the girl's name with edible black marker and shaded it to look like an old school tattoo style. I also made black poppies with hot pink center to adorn the cake. Also..not sure why the cake looks like it's crooked in the picture.. but it was completely level. :o)
