Roses & Heroes Cupcakes

From Mabel to her hubby, her hero...

Mabel initially requested for pink, white and choc cupcakes with roses and hearts. A few days later Mabel called asking to add transformers, batman and superman too, which I kindly informed that I'd only be able to make the logos only. They are newly weds so I guessed the cupcakes are for both of them to enjoy their own individual pieces. Thanks Mabel, I'm glad you like it.
btw, this is the best looking roses i've made ;)

Brown Hantaran Cupcakes

The thought of making cakes or cupcakes for hantaran always makes me worry because all the paraded gifts are admired for their aesthetic value.
Nora asked for hantaran cupcakes for with brownish gold theme. Gold ???  I've never used edible gold dust  although have been shown the method in Yasmin bakingproject class I attended. I was relief when the samples pictures Nora emailed carries beige/brown/yellow colors.
These roses are made using 2 different methods, 1) using 5 petals blossom cutters 2) using round cutter for every petals. Personally, I prefer the round petals method because the roses appear fuller.
And for bekal during their 4-hour drive to rumah kenduri, these cupcakes with buttercream frosting.

 

Pink & White Wedding Cupcakes

Azita ordered these cupcakes for her sis' wedding in Sg Petani. One box for hantaran and another 50 for the guests; in pink & white theme. Thanks Azita.

Swirl Roses Cupcakes

First of all, I'm sorry Nora...
Nora called the night before these cupcakes were delivered that she wanted 'similar' design cupcakes like the one she ordered previously; wanted it just for makan2 with her kids.

She informed me during her last order that her kids like chocolate, so I made some with choc fudge topping. I got some free time, so I made those swirl roses and attempted the basketweave method.
Nora's expression when she received the cake "......macam lain pulak..."(i.e. different). I just had to ask why she wanted the very simple design as her previous order and I got the answer "...yang ni nampak macam banyak icing". Barulah faham la ni, Nora prefers cupcakes with very little icing.
