Monster pops for Halloween

For the school kids.

These were for my two boys to take for there Halloween Parties. Our madness behind monsters was that they could scare away the "sugar bugs". They also co-ordinated with the labels on the toothbrushes they gave to each class mate. Yes I'm in dental. These are upside down mini cupcakes held on the coloured popsicle stick by melted choc. and then iced with grass tip. The eyes and mouth are fondant. I made a teacher version that was a double high cupcake. My wrist was shot after piping 50 of these....worth it though. The monster were obvious too friendly as my boys both had cavities in November :(

Cupcakes

Pumpkin chai pie with a fondant slice of cake on the top.

Chocolate pumpkin  with candied pumpkin seeds and eggnog butter-cream icing

Coconut Cupcakes with pina colada icing

Yummers!!! These were minis so it's easy to lose count :)

Cowgirl themed party

This was a fun cake with alot of detail. It was very vanilla all through. I covered it with cowhide fondant and then drapped with a girly bandanna. The bandanna is purple tinted fondant airbrushed with a paisley stencil which was custom made by a good friend. All the toppers are modeling chocolate. I worked 1 week in advance to give everything a good chance to harden. Apparently this cowgirl did not like cake but couldn't resist this one and ate a whole piece on her birthday. That makes it worth it for me!

Happy Birthday Charlie!

Cow Hide fondant

Purple fondant that is airbrushed with a darker purple.  I used a stencil for this.  Once draped on the cake it looked real.

Cupcakes

Some square cupcakes for my mother-in-law's birthday.

Space themed party

The party that this cake was for was at the Manitoba Museum.

Strawberry Shortcake

Berry Delicious!!!

As most people know I love SBSC so when I got the chance for a little sweetheart of mine I when all out. This cake took alot of time but mostly because my hubby turned on the undercabinet lighting one night and completely melted my sculptures by accident. So start again...SBSC, Puptart (puppy), Custard (cat) and berries are all moldeling chocolate. It was a challenge as time is a factor when sculpting with chocolate. The heat from my hands would often ruin the intricate details ie.details on shirt. Lots of running them under cold water. Flowers and leaves are marshmallow fondant. This cake was white and pink vanilla layers in both tiers with lightly flavored Strawberry Buttercream. I didn't leave much space for a candles...oops. I'm glad they had to cut this cake and not me!!
