Hello Kitty cupcakes

These are pistachio cupcakes with a vanilla/almond butter-cream frosting.  I made them on a whim for a co-worker's birthday.  If I had had more time to plan them out, I think I could have them even cutter.  But on a whim ... this was the best I could do.  Happy birthday, Amy!

Birdie bird wedding cake



Well, here it is ... my very 1st wedding cake.  The bride is a very down-to-earth girl and she picked a cake that perfectly matches her laid-back attitude.  :)  First, I built the bronze birds (bride and groom) a fondant nest, which I high-lighted with bronze pearl dust.  Then I covered the whole cake, which was a yellow golden butter cake, in burgundy fondant.  Her florist will be arranging fresh flowers around the bottom, which is why the bottom still looks a little unfinished.

Then to go along with this earthy wedding, I made bird's nest petit fours for the kids attending this wedding.
