So I was bored yesterday and decided to play around in my "test" kitchen. I decided to make chocolate cupcakes and add a unique frosting to them. I came up with a toasted almond cardamom frosting. The frosting is truly the highlight of the cupcake. I like to challenge myself and create unique flavors. The toasted almond cardamom frosting totally worked! I toasted some almonds, and ground them in my food processor along with some ground cardamom and a secret ingredient. I mixed it in with my frosting foundation and the taste was simply amazing!!!
Hands down..this cake has become my favorite of all time. This is a Halloween-themed Birthday cake. The birthday girl ordered ghost cupcakes for her birthday, and we surprised her with a special birthday cake. The cake and cupcakes are decorated with buttercream. The knife and roses are made by hand out of gumpaste. The eerie blood is red piping gel.
This cake was designed for a little girl's 1st Birthday. The cake is covered in fondant. Little fondant hearts and polka dots adorn the cake. The girl's Labrador Retrievers are also on the cake (I love those!). The number 1 and the girl's name in hearts are made of gumpaste. The smash cake is decorated with cornelia lace.
This cake was designed for my cousin's baby shower. The theme is Butterfly Garden. The cake is covered in fondant and accessorized in fondant flowers. The butterflies swirling up the cake are made of gumpaste.
