Professional Photos!!

So I always take the standard photo, on the kitchen table or living room table with my point and shoot canon. And the pictures always look that way. HOWEVER I had a bride post some of the professional photos of the cake and cupcakes that I did for her wedding, and let me just say....WOW! It really makes a huge difference!

So Pretty! The Butterflies were white chocolate

The Stand was custom made by the brides mother

The Hydrangeas were gumpaste all hand made and painted to match the brides decor!

baby cupcakes

ok so today's post I"m going to walk you through the stuffed cupcake from start to finish.

I took my favorite white cupcake recipe and made a couple dozen.

Then I took a large tip, flipped it over and cored out the centers of the cupcakes.

It's summer time!!! And that means I have fresh raspberries! I whipped up some whip cream

Added some crushed raspberries a little sugar and Voila!!! raspberry cream filling!

Now I took the tip I used above to core out the centers, put it in a bag

filled the bag with the raspberry cream filling, and piped it into the holes.

Then I made a soft blue vanilla buttercream, and swirled the top of the cupcakes.

Added a few fondant stars. Cut out cupcake wrappers from some star paper I had.

(I got the wrapper stencil from skiptomylou.org, http://www.skiptomylou.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CupcakeWrapper.pdf  )

Then I made a little gumpaste boy, gave him a snuggly blanket!

Everyone loved them! And they tasted amazing!!
