Bug Cupcakes

These cupcakes are funfetti style topped with buttercream. The flower and bug accents are all marshmallow fondant. LOVE the bright colors on these cupcakes!

Monkey Cake

This cake was made to match several different things. The monkey was pulled from a cute little outfit and the chevron pattern was pulled from a swatch of fabric. The cake was dark chocolate fudge topped with buttercream.

I really wanted to do the animal print pattern in the middle of the tummy and ears, but this was a 6 inch cake, and it was just too small a space for a buttercream pattern like that. You couldn't tell what it was. It bugs me when cakes don't turn out the way I have them pictured in my head! Still like the little guy though.

Rose Cake

This rose cake was for Maggie's 2nd birthday. The cake is french vanilla with light pink tinted buttercream topped with edible pink pearls and sprayed with lustre spray. 

[edit 5/10/12: Apparently I have upset someone because they feel that I am leading you to believe that this rose cake is my original design. I did not come up with the design for this cake, nor have I ever claimed that I came up with the design for this cake. I never intended you to believe that I came up with the design for this cake. I first saw this cake on pinterest a few months ago when it was being repinned for the 10,000th time. I then followed the pin to I am Baker's rose cake tutorial where she explains in detail how to make this cake. I figured anyone with an internet connection has seen this cake all over the web, so I never even assumed that someone would think I came up with this on my own. According to Amber from my comments section, I "stole" this cake design. However, personally I don't consider it stealing when the person who came up with it puts a step-by-step tutorial on their blog telling you how to make it. When someone does that, I am assuming that they want others to use their idea. Especially when the blogger says, "SO excited to share with you how easy it is to make the rose cake. Seriously, once you see you are going to run right out, buy a 1M tip, and make one."  For some reason I was under the impression that she wanted others to use her cake design. Maybe I read into that all wrong. However, I apologize if I led anyone to believe I came up with this. I did not. ]
