Maya's Christening Cupcake Tower

This pretty in pink cupcake tower was created for a childhood friend of mine. Her beautiful daughter was being christened and she asked me to make her a cupcake tower and some cake pops.

The cake flavour was vanilla and the frosting is my personal favourite marshmallow frosting. The decoration was taken from my earlier cupcake tower for Caitlyn.

Vibrant 60th Birthday Cupcake Tower

A very bright and happy cupcake tower created for a friend's mum who's turning 60! She wanted a vibrant colour scheme so I found a colour palette on a wedding website - fuschia, purple and orange with splashes of green.

The design was inspired by my earlier work "Anya's Cupcake Tower"

How to make Ben 10 Omnitrix watch

I have received may messages asking how to make Ben 10's Omnitrix watch so in response to all the emails I have created this 'How to' post.

1. Materials:

- Fondant (Black, Dark Grey, Light Grey and Green)

- Rolling pin

- 3 different round cutters (I used two cutters from my favourite cutter set and also the base of an icing tip)

2. Using the cutters, cut out:

- 1 Large Grey circle

- 1 Medium Black circle

- 1 Small Light Grey circle

- 1 Small Green cirlcle

3. Place Black circle on top of large Grey circle, glue together with some water. Then using the corner of a rectangular cutter cut out the sides of the green and light grey circles.

Use the off-cuts of the grey circle and place on the sides of the green circle to complete the circle shape again. Glue this on top of the black circle with water.

4. Using the green off-cuts, use the tip of a small round Icing nozzle and cut-out very small circles. Place this circle around the Omnitrix watch face. (Alternatively, you can just roll small fondant balls)

5. Roll thin lengths of black fondant and place along the face of the Omnitrix watch where the green and light grey fondant meet.

Place complete Omnitrix fondant watch on top of a cupcake.

Enjoy!

Ben 10 Omnitrix Cake 'n' Cupcakes

This tower was created for my son's friend at day care, Ethan. He was turning 4 and his chosen theme was Ben 10. So for the cake I re-created one of my most visited post and flickr picture...the omnitrix watch cupcakes.

The cake is vanilla and the frosting is buttercream.

The only thing missing on the top cake is a Ben 10 figurine which was supplied by Ethan's mum.

The omnitrix watch was created using shapes from my favourite cutter set.

Flower Dessert Table

In this dessert table the two-tiered cake and flower pop cupcakes too centre stage. It was surrounded by marshmallows, fruit chews, wafer sticks and kit kat wrapped in coordinated paper. Obviously the theme of this dessert table was pink, yellow and green.

Each child had a personalised chinese noodle box to fill as their treat bag.

I enjoyed creating this and loved it more watching it get demolished by the party guests!

Dinosaur Dessert Table

This is the complete spread for my son's 4th birthday party.

Dinosaur cupcake tower, assortment of chocolates, gummi lollies and cake pops.

Each child had their own personalised chinese noodle box to fill as their treat bag.

So much fun!

Flower Pop Cupcakes

So here is the final cake creation for my kids birthday. This cake and cupcake combination is for my daughter's 1st birthday.

I decided to make a two tiered round cake and this is complimented by 24 cupcakes with fondant flowers on a stick. I call this my Flower Pop Cupcakes!

The cake is white chocolate mud cake covered in fondant and the flower pop cupcakes are vanilla chiffon cake and iced with marshmallow icing. I love the way the colours turned out.

This is the centrepiece of a girly dessert table for the party.
