cupcakes and more


These are from "Sprinkles" a gourmet cupcake shop down here but I love how sophisticated they look!! Those are tiny fondant hearts in the center of each one.

I'm just curious what the stars are made out of. Is it fondant?

What it would look like if we did our purple for the frosting. Hmm... lol.

Displaying the cupcakes is an art! This is simple, they did a square patter to match the shape of the cake stand then added rose petals. Looks easy enough!

Kind of gross looking to me but I saved it for the piped icing of the monogram. I'll ask the baker if they can do this.

Simple and chic. Layered fondant in 2 colors per cupcake utilizing their monogram on top.

Another fun display of cupcakes. This was a winter wedding with a snowflake theme. Can you tell?

2 smaller cupcake trees and a cake in the center?

They made this stand. I wish it had more cupcakes per tier. But...look below...

This is a closeup of what divides the stand layers. A round glass vase with rose petals stuffed in it.

This is to illustrate a pattern done with 2 different colors of frosting.

Simple decoration can give color. Just a pinch of some colorful sanding sugar.

Silver buckets to hold lavender?
