The Little Cupcakery is born!

I forgot to post a few weeks ago that I have finally registered my business name.
So THE LITTLE CUPCAKERY is officially opened for business! Yay!

Rose Cupcakes




My mum and Aunt from the USA were nice enough to get me some new cake decorating tools recently and the following cupcakes I made on the weekend were my play around creations using my new tools.
I especially like the daisy centres, primrose cutter and 5 petal rose cutter.
Thanks again Ang family and Mum.

Christmas Cupcakes
















I made some christmas cupcakes for my sister's christmas party with her friends. They were all mini choc mud cupcakes iced with buttercream frosting. The cupcake toppers were xmas trees, holly, snowman and xmas wreath.





The snowman was a hit with the little kids.

Pink Blossom and Butterfly Cupcakes




Playing around with some left over cupcakes...I embossed small fondant butterflies and dressed it with a mini blossom.

Fairy Birthday Cake 'n' Cupcakes







































This cake is my first birthday cake request. I found covering the 10" cake with fondant was quite tricky for me...I think I took too long rolling it out so I got some fine cracks on the icing.
The cake was white chocolate mud cake then iced with white chocolate ganache then the fondant.
The decoration were fondant blossoms and the fairy too was out of fondant.
The request also included 6 standard sized cupcakes, so I used the same blossom design as the toppers.

CUPCAKERY TIP #2: If you don't have pretty butterfly cutters to create the fairy wings, another way is to use a 5 petal blossom cutter and remove 1 petal. Pair 2 petals and fan it out to create wings. Then use a smaller size 5 petal blossom cutter in a different colour glue it on to the larger wing to create the two-toned fairy wings effect.
