Gangnam Style Cupcakes




So far, this has been my favorite cupcake project.  The celebrants wife found a picture of these Gangnam Style cupcakes online and asked me to replicate them for her husband.  I was so excited and was ready for the challenge.  I was very pleased with the final product. 

These Gangnam Style cupcakes are vanilla with chocolate frosting.  All the decorations are completely edible and were hand made using fondant.  I used and edible black marker with the finer details such as Psy's mouth, the writing and the music notes.

Batman Cake


This Batman cake is yellow cake with buttercream.  The cake is covered in buttercream and decorated with fondant appliqués.  I used an edible black marker to draw the Batman logo and write the action flash words.

Guitar Cake

This guitar cake is made with chocolate cake and peanut butter frosting.  The birthday celebrant was getting a guitar and guitar lessons for his birthday, so this cake was a perfect in order to tie in the surprise gifts.

The guitar was hand made using gum paste.  The rest of the details such as the music notes and the writing are piped on using royal icing.
