It’s a shame I take such cruddy pictures, but these are some shots of the beach-themed cupcakes I did for a bridal shower recently.
Starfish and seashells and castles, oh my!
think I like the tiny shovels the best.
These were strawberry cupcakes with vanilla buttercream, and oh my were they good. I’m not always a huge fan of strawberry but these were made with fresh strawberry puree and came out quite moist and tasty. All 80 of them!

Ooh la la!
Believe it or not, this cake was for a boy. It was a joke of sorts; we had a “Man Bridal Shower” for him, and decided to make it a very feminine affair. The mirrored “L” topper was purchased at McCall’s in Etobicoke.
Both tiers of this cake are vanilla, with a mocha cream filling. It is iced in vanilla buttercream and covered in white fondant, with purple fondant “ribbon”, and purple and white fondant heart accents. The small purple hearts which adorn the white fondant are hand-painted. Manly!

This bridal shower cake was my first attempt at creating lifelike flowers, and I think they turned out quite well. Although you can’t see all of the flowers, there are orchids, calla lilies, and rose buds, along with some ivy leaves.
The cake istelf is vanilla with a lemon butter filling. It is iced in buttercream and covered in white fondant. The accents are royal icing, and all flowers and leaves are made from gumpaste.
