Princess Cake #2

Hi!

So this is my second princess cake now, and oh boy do you learn with every one :-)... This cake was for my wonderful niece who turned 8!!! It was a big day and the whole family was gathered to an amazing meal made by my sister-in-law Jane who is an amazing cook! My contribution was the cake and some cupcakes.

The cupcake toppers are made with royal icing and dried and sprayed with edible gold spray. The frosting is normal buttercream frosting. I think I might ahve broken their mixer making it :-(....
I used a star shaped tip to make them look like roses. It was the first time I did that but I thought it was quite fitting. If you look closely the crowns on the cupcakes are the same crown that is on the dolls head :-). I think I will make this one of my items on etsy! So keep your eyes open for them!

This is me on the righthand side talking to family and friends over the unsuspecting cake.. (she doesn't know her dress is about to get massacred!!! Muahahahahha (evil laugh) :-)

My daughter peering over the table... peepoe :-)!!!

Minnie Mouse Cupcakes!

Minnie Mouse Cupcakes!
So it's been a while! Not because I haven't been baking, but because out camera is broken!!! We are looking to get it fixed but it's quite expensive, so will have to wait a little longer. I have asked each person that I have made cakes for to take loads of pictures and then to send them to me so I can post them on here. So here is the first of them :-)!
Minnie Mouse Cupcakes!!!

They are chocolate Cupcakes with a marshmallow filling and Vanilla frosting. Now thinking in retrospect I should have made an Italian meringue frosting as it doesn't harden the way normal buttercream does. They wanted to pick up the cupcakes the day before, so they were bound to have hardened a lot by the time they ate them. I'm sure they still tasted fine, but just not as fresh :-). But like I always say.. I am still learning :-)!!!
Hope you like them!!!
