King of the Jungle Cake and Safari Animal cupcakes

Amanda, a lady that Kyle works with, asked if I could make a cake and cupcakes for her son Chavi's second birthday party.  She needed a small cake and 50 cupcakes using primarily butter cream icing for all the decorations.  I was nervous because I almost never do all buttercream! I ended up using fondant to make a lion on top and everything else is buttercream icing with some m&m's for fun. I also loaned her my cupcake stand and decorated it with a jungle theme.


I love how this little lion turned out! So cute! 


Designer inspired cupcakes: Chanel, Fendi, Tiffany's, Victoria's Secret, Burberry

For Juliana's 18th birthday, Velda asked for some special designer cupcakes.  I was excited to make these because they looked like a lot of fun! And they were! The Victoria's Secret, Fendi and Burberry tops were hand painted. The background on the Chanel tops are "quilted," which looks really neat.  Too bad I couldn't get a good picture of it! The Fendi tops took a loooooong time to paint. It was worth all the time! Juliana loved them!
