~Rubber Stamps on Fondant~

So easy to do and so fun. I love buying rubber stamps, despite their cost. And they work so well on gum paste and fondant it's almost a crime to charge people for the work. But someones gotta pay for those stamps! Here is a small collection of cupcakes I've fancied up with the work of a simple rubber stamp.



Merci!

Bon Voyage Ben & Katie!


My own version of a love bug ; )

~Superhero Cupcakes~

These cupcakes are a little controversial for me...I've never wanted to do "theme" cupcakes and because I prefer all edible decorations...I hate using cupcake picks. I feel they're too easy to do and why would the person ordering want to pay for cupcake picks? So, I colored and rolled the fondant. Cut it out and "tattooed" non-toxic tattoos on them. Took a long time, they're obviously not edible, but they look so good! Believe me, if you decide to try something like this, have patience my friend, the work is worth it! So darn cute and anymore these days they have temporary tattoos for just about anything at a very cheap price.


All together



Human Torch, Iron Man, and The Hulk



Wolverine, Captain America and Spider Man


Didn't work out so well on black fondant but my husband says this one is the "coolest". ; )

~Love Is In The Air~

What's more romantic than giving the person you fancy most a fancy little cupcake?


Valentine's Day is almost here and I already have a orders coming in
from people ready to show their love! I love this holiday because
everything is expected to be sweet and cupcakes are almost always
very sweet. They're also really easy to personalize and a fairly cheap way
to show that someone special just how special you think they are.




Just a few sweet cakes from past V-Days....





Typical flavors requested for Valentine's Day are
Red Velvet,
Chocolate or Chocolate with Cherries
and surprisingly German Chocolate....all equally yummy.
