Omar's 5th Birthday Cupcakes

First of all, I absolutely love the colors green and blue together. They just look amazing next to one another. This order was different then anything I've done before. As you have probably already noticed, I'm usually focused on patterns and texture.

I was asked to do little shapes to stick on top of the cupcakes. I must admit, at first I wasn't too sure about it since I haven't practiced things like that before, but there's a first time for everything so I thought I should give it a try. I played around with gum paste and tried to come up with simple yet cute shapes and figures.  I liked it, it was fun, creative, and another thing I learned and will use in future creations.

Elegant Black & White

Earlier this month I invited some of my girlfriends over for brunch, it was a fun way to see everyone all at once and a great excuse for me to go out of control with my baking. I tried to stick to two simple, yet elegant colors. Black and white are such perfect opposites. 

I explored a few new techniques while doing these cupcakes that I will definitely be using later on. I must admit,with my friends always going on with their "You're amazing"'s and "You're so talented girl!"'s, I was a little nervous about their opinion. At the end of the day I was reassured with a new line; "You nailed it!"

Roses And Rose Buds

I loved the idea of "Cupcake Bouquet" & whats better than red for a bouquet! Following a tutorial I found, operation "CB" did not turn out as expected, the cakes kept sinking  through the toothpicks, something I did not expect... So I decided to go with the traditional way to serve the cupcakes... Simply exquisite!
