Vanilla Cupcakes for a Naming Ceremony
12:05
A young couple, Barry and Lisa, kindly asked me if I could make 50 vanilla cupcakes for the naming ceremony of their son Jack. I was very happy to do this and felt very excited about designing the cakes for such a special event.
I was asked if I could do the baby faces with more hair than normal, as apparently their son has rather a full head of hair! I drew a few diagrams, and finally decided on the one I was going to use. I used a small round pastry cutter to cut the faces out of icing, but making the hair out of icing was rather fiddly!
I was so happy that Barry and Lisa were pleased with the finished cupcakes and I hope that everybody at the naming ceremony thoroughly enjoyed them too!

Love them! I can't help visiting your blog and just admiring your talent! Did you cut the toppers with cutters or your own template?
ReplyDeletehey, thanks for your comment. I had a cutter for the teddies but I piped out the feet and made my own templates for the baby faces. Time consuming but worth it in the end!

Definitely worth it in the end! I can't decide which topper I like best!
