Giant Cupcake Cake and Cupcakes

I was so excited when I finally bought a giant cupcake pan almost two years ago, sad to say this is the first time I've ever used it. For my first giant cupcake though I am so happy with how this cake turned out. 

 I was asked to make a giant cupcake and 80 matching regular sized cupcakes for a 21st birthday party. The birthday girl only really asked one thing, that it all be in super bright colours, no pastels in sight. 

For the cake I used my favourite vanilla cake layered and frosted with cookies and cream buttercream, the outside of the cake was covered with rolled fondant and more fondant for the decorations. The cupcakes were vanilla with vanilla buttercream, topped with fondant cut-outs and maraschino cherries.

Pink Black and Leopard Print Masquerade Cakes

A few weekends ago I got to make not one but two super awesome fun Birthday cakes. The cakes were for mother and daughter who were having a joint Masquerade themed birthday party.

The colours for the party were pink, black and silver, with some leopard print thrown in on the 21st cake.

I tried to match the shape and size of the cakes, tying them together using the same numbers and bows.

The masks were a great find from spotlight, with a few added feathers they matched the cake perfectly.

The 21st leopard print cake was my favourite vanilla cake with yummy vanilla buttercream.

To give guests more than one option the 50th pink and black cake was my go to chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream.

I loved having another reason to use my favourite new quilting tool.

Happy Birthday to both Birthday girls!

Glad to hear the party was great and everyone loved the cakes.
