These are so pretty!

The vanilla cupcakes are filled and topped with custard buttercream, and decorated with a dusted gold fondant flower. The chocolate cupcakes are topped with chocolate butter icing, and also decorated with a dusted gold fondant flower.

They were then placed into black and white damask wrapper (collar).

Tina is getting married this weekend in a small, intimate ceremony, and she ordered chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with secret centres for her guests to indulge in.

They are topped with two-tone butter icing, the vanilla cupcakes with teal and white and the chocolate cupcakes with a chocolate and teal swirl. They were baked in silver and black paper cups and decorated with tiny silver dragees and glitter.

These are worms, dragonflies, bees and ladybirds made of sugarpaste (AKA fondant or plastic icing) to put on top of cupcakes.

Marna ordered quite a selection of cupcakes for a birthday pary!

There are chocolate hi-hat cupcakes (chocolate cupcakes with a dark chocolate covered marshmallow icing tower), there are red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing, and there are chocolate cupcakes with red-and-white, and blue-and-white two-tone vanilla butter icing!

The red-and-white and the blue-and-white iced cupcakes are topped with little sugarpaste bugs – ladybirds, bees, worms and dragonflies!

I decorated these chocolate cupcakes in a variety of styles for a bit of a photo shoot, to show off a bit of what I can do…

They were packed in a travel box that I use often, I babied them all the way to the photo shoot location, but in the process of grabbing my bags and such out of the car, I tilted the box!

I tilted the box!

ALL the cupcakes were damaged in the process, though some of them were salvageable and could be used in the shoot – provided they were only photographed on their “good side”!
