Back to School Cupcakes

Back to school cupcakes with Lucks sugar decorations.

When I do these again, I will only use 1 topper per cupcake and smaller dragees or sprinkles.

Red Velvet Cupcakes

I made these red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing for my husband.  I made the chocolate toppers using my chocolate molds.  If you would like to learn how to make chocolates like these, check out my series of 5 tutorials explaining molded chocolates.

Banana Maple Mini Cupcakes

These are banana maple cupcakes with maple buttercream icing and topped with toasted pecans.  They were for my husband's birthday.  He loved them.  He took them to work the next day and everyone else loved them too.

Candy Buffet

I made a small candy buffet for my son's birthday party.  I wanted to make some more but ran out of time.  I think it looked good though the way it was. 

I made iced owl cookies, chocolate peanut butter cupcakes, red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese, chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream, chocolate covered pretzels, molded owl chocolate suckers, lollipops, and rock candy.

Owl Cupcake Toppers: Tutorial Coming Soon!

My son's first birthday is coming up and his party is owl themed.  I've decided to make cupcakes with owl toppers to fit the theme.  I experimented over the weekend trying to decide what I wanted the toppers to look like and came up with something I think is cute.  Let me know what you think.

I will be posting a tutorial on how to make these cute toppers in the tutorials section.

I also am experimenting with different flavors.  The icing here is peanut butter icing.  I will post the recipe in the recipes section as well.

Check out the tutorial section on June 10 for the first part of a 5 part series on making handmade molded chocolates!

Mini cupcakes crawfish toppers

These cupcakes are just the right size for one bite at a time.  I made molded white chocolate crawfish for toppers.  The brown icing is still vanilla buttercream.  I just put brown color in it to look like mud.

The cake plate is a cherry blossom pink depression glass platter.  I collect that pattern and will take any excuse to get to use it for some reason.
