Cupcakes for a football fan

Football cc 071009

I had a request from Xiuling who wanted some cupcakes for a football fan. However, rather than the usual football cupcakes i’ve been doing, she wanted the cupcakes to include some other items which go with watching a football game! So this became a football themed cupcake with a twist.

The cupcakes basically include beer and a guy watching a football game on tv. I decided to make him look as if he was shouting GOAL when the tv screen had a GOAL sign plus… what’s football without a couple of beers right?

I liked the end result of the cupcakes and hoped Xiuling liked it to since she gave me the inspiration for the cupcake idea! :)

Simple Minnie mouse cake

Minnie cake 041009

Sharon asked if i could do a small Minnie Mouse cake for her for a family celebration. As the cake was relatively small i decided to keep the design simple and keep it in theme with Minnie’s Polka dotted dress.

So i ended up doing a pink and white polka dotted base with Minnie holding a little flower. My 2nd Minnie cake in the matter of a couple of days.. haha.. i find the same requests for similar character cakes always come around the same date.. i wonder why that’s so? :)

Another Thomas Train cake

Thomas train cake 041009

Yes.. it’s another request for a Thomas the train cake.. i realised Thomas the Train is really really popular with kids!! In the last couple of months i’ve lost track of how many Thomas Train cakes i’ve done and the requests just keep coming!

Anyway, here’s what i did for Vony who wanted only a small cake for a family celebration.

3 tier Minnie Castle cake

Minni castle cake 031009

Yvonne had contacted me after she had seen some of my creations on my website and said she loved how my toppers looked. As her daughters’ birthday was coming up she asked if i would be able to do a Minnie Princess Castle Cake for her she intended to have a Minnie Mouse birthday theme for the party.

After plenty of discussions as to the colours of the cake, pink was determined to be the colour of the day. As for the Minnie topper, well, it was going to be a castle cake so of course Minnie had to be in a ball gown!

So i did a little research on the web and found a nice Minnie picture of her in a ball gown and modelled my topper after the picture.

I had not made a castle cake before and this was to be my first attempt.. plus it was going to be in 3 tiers! Not the usual 2 tiers that i had grown comfortable with. So it wasn’t without a little trepedition when i started making the cake. However, although there were some boo boos during the making of the cake, i thought it turned out pretty well in the end. However, i think in the future i will try and see if i can cover the turrets in fondant rather than leaving it plain although i think in this case the brown turrets actually highlighted the pink of the cake. :)

Overall though, i was quite happy with the way the cake turned out. Yvonne too was very very happy with the cake and especially the Minnie Mouse topper. I think it was all that edible glitter i brushed on that gave the topper that little added sparkle and made it that much more magical :)

Heffalump cupcakes

Heffalump cupcakes 230909

Kimarie asked if i could do some Heffalump cupcakes for her. Yup.. just lumpy and no other Disney characters.

I said sure and after doing some research on the different positions that i could do Heffalump in, i started molding the little toppers. I decided to use a yellow base colour for the cupcakes to bring out the Heffalump figurines and i thought these looked really cute :) Hope you guys enjoyed looking at the cupcakes too!

Thumbelina cake and cupcakes

Thumbelina cake 200909

My cousin’s daughters birthday was coming up and she (the daughter not my cousin :p) is crazy about the Thumbelina Barbie. So of course, my cousin asked if i could do a Thumbelina cake and some cupcakes in the same theme for her.

After doing some research, i said no problem and decided to do a Thumbelina cake with lots of flowers and little fantasy bugs. I also decided to try something new and decided to try something new for the wings. I wanted the wings to glitter but realised only later that i couldn’t add the glitter after the wings were dry.. so next time i’ll definitely add the edible glitter when the wings are still wet.

I thought the cake and cupcakes turned out well.. and hope Rachel and her little friends liked the cake and cupcakes!!
