Thabang’s friends must LOVE her! She orders cupcakes from me quote often and they are always sent to someone for a special occasion!

This order was very special.

Daine has just graduated- or will be soon- and she ordered a batch of chocolate cupcakes for him. Half of them had a Nutella stuffing and half had fudge secret centres, and she asked that they be topped with 12 different sugarpaste decorations depicting Daine and his interests! The cricket bat, cricket ball and soccer ball I bought ready-made, the rest I made by hand.

Thandi orders from me on a regular basis, and for her Matteo’s birthday she ordered a dragon cake!

I turned this one around so his head and tail were on opposite sides of the board to the ones I did before, but like the others it had a layered chocolate cake sandwiched with ganache for the body, a head made of rice krispy treats, and a neck and tail made of a cake and ganache “cake pop” mixture- which I can mould instead of sculpt.

Here it is covered in ganache in preparation for its sugarpaste covering.

And here is the finished cake!

Anna ordered these pink and black velvet cupcakes in silver paper cups for a wedding shower- I topped them with a pink vanilla butter icing and little sugarpaste handbags, bras, knickers and high heel shoes in the pink and black colour scheme.

Claire ordered these red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing to be delivered to her hubby’s office for his birthday!

Have you ever heard of a “Tache Bash”? I hadn’t, not until Michelle emailed me after finding me on Facebook, and told me she was arranging a “tache bash” for her husband’s birthday party.

A “tache bash” is a moustache-themed party!

If you’ve spent any time browsing sites like Pinterest or Tumblr, you’ll know that moustaches are far more than just facial hair these days! Tattoos, photo booth props, cookies, jewellery… you name it!

Michelle wanted a selection of sugarpaste moustaches to top a selection of four different cupcakes, and she wanted them wacky and colourful!

What do you think?

Michelle ordered chocolate chip cupcakes with chocolate butter icing, white chocolate chip cupcakes with Bar One ganache, chocolate and vanilla marble cupcakes with chocolate butter icing, and Snickers caramel cheesecake cupcakes with cream cheese icing!
