Bridal Shower Cupcakes

These pretty little cupcakes were made for a bridal shower this past weekend. Sorry for the not so good pictures - I was in a rush! There were several different kinds of cupcakes/fillings, all decorated with either handmade fondant roses and other assorted flowers, or butterflies and sugar pearls.

Surprise!

This cake was made for my cousin Marla's surprise 30th birthday party. All 3 tiers were chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and coffee buttercream fillings, draped in fondant. Decorated with fresh flowers and ribbon. Happy birthday Marla!

Lambda Chi Alpha Cake

Sorry for the lack of posts lately! My boyfriend had my camera, so I could take photos of the last few cakes I made. However, here's one I made this past week for a get together of MIT Lambda Chi Alpha brothers. The MIT ring is gold and features a beaver, the "engineer of the animal world"; hence the beaver topper! The cake itself was chocolate, with coffee buttercream and mocha ganache fillings, covered with fondant.

These cupcakes were made for a birthday celebration honoring 3 lucky ladies with May birthdays :)

Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate ganache and raspberry fillings, covered with fondant (white - vanilla; brown - dark chocolate) and handpainted. Each birthday girl gets a fondant LV inspired cupcake topper. I was definitely sad to part with these!
