Beagle cupcakes….

Well.. the other day my friend called me up and asked me if i could make some beagle cupcakes for her.. she wanted it for her boyfriend who was celebrating his birthday today and who loved beagles.

I was a bit apprehensive at first considering that these couple of days the weather was so gloomy and humid that a lot of my fondant figurines were having problem drying out. In addition beagles are actually tri-coloured on the body which means i had to figure out a way to layer on the colours on the doggy without making him look like a very very overweight doggy :) haha…

Anyway, after a couple of false starts i finally managed to do these little fellas up… and as usual.. i used the grass piping again.. hee.. that’s got to be my favourite tip so far cos no matter how i pipe the icing always turns out perfect :) So here are the completed pictures of the cupcakes :) Cute aren’t they :)

    Thanks for rushing the last mintue order. Kok Meng and our frends love them! They are totally amazed and impressed.
    Despite after an extremely filling buffet dinner, we simply can’t resist these delicious cupcakes. But of course we can’t bear to eat these really cute Beagle toppings.
    Kok Meng is thinking of keeping them, is there a good way we can preserve them? :)

    Hi Cassie, I’m so glad that Kok Meng and your friends loved the cupcakes :) As for keeping the toppers, yup.. they can be kept. You can place the toppers in a tupperware or plastic container and place them in the freezer. They can be kept indefinitely so long as you don’t decide to eat it 10 years later!! haha… I’m actually still keeping the topper i did for my hubby’s b’day 2 months ago in the freezer. It still looks exactly the same now as it did then.. so yup you can keep it with no problem at all :)

    Hi Sandra… could i ask if you stay in Singapore?? Cos i haven’t figured out a way to ship my toppers yet as there is always a concern with rough handling causing the toppers to break before they arrive wherever you are :p But thanks so much for the compliment of wanting to purchase my toppers :)
