Bridal Shower Cupcakes

While my kitchen is still under constructions Krumbs was kind enough to lend me their kitchen to use to do my baking.  It was like being a kid in a candy store.  Except I didn't know where anything was.  Thankfully while they were out catering a party Kendall was on hand to show me where everything was and to learn how to decorate the cupcakes.

We baked almost 7 dozen cupcakes in the oven in 15 minutes.  It was crazy fast!  Kendall was an amazing help as the kitchen is huge compared to my little galley kitchen and she was doing the dishes as went.  Awesome!



The kitchen got hot pretty quickly which made icing the cakes super easy to do but you had to work quickly.  Kendall did the dress cake which turned out amazing.  We just put a bit of icing on the bottom of each cupcake so that they didn't move on the cake board.



To make the claws on the "ring" I used the same tip, 1M, and did a few swirls.

My Little Pony Pull Apart Cupcake Cake

For this "cake" I made two dozen vanilla cupcakes and arranged them on the cake board in the shape of the rainbow and clouds.  To make sure the cupcakes didn't move I added a dab of icing on the bottom of each cupcake. It's not that often that I get to dye icing, or six different colours at once.  You can get a really good bicep workout, Miss E was kind enough to lend her figurines as models for the picture.  The clouds piped out perfectly.  The rainbow was a little more difficult.  Next time I would put a base coat on the cupcakes to help keep the top coat more level and easier to pipe over.

Carrot Cake for July Birthdays

To celebrate my dad and brother's birthdays this year we went up to my parents' trailer to have a campfire dinner; hotdogs over the fire with a side of corn on the cob.  So good! To finish off the celebration I made one of the family favourites, carrot cake with cream cheese icing.    This was a 3 layer six inch cake with lots of cream cheese icing.  Hopefully, it was enough for Geoff this time.  

60th Jack Daniels Birthday Cake

 These types of cakes are so much fun to do.  Over the top goodness!  Especially, when the original plan  was to use airplane size bottles of Jack Daniel's instead of one 300mL bottle.  When Mr T went to the LCBO he was told that they longer sell them, at least as this location, due to high theft.  The next smallest size available was the 300mL bottle; though I doubt the birthday boy was disappointed! This was a 3 layer chocolate 8" cake with Bailey's buttercream topped off with Hershey pieces, mini chocolate chip cookies, Ferrero Rocher and Whoppers sitting on top of the chocolate ganache.
