Star Wedding Cupcake Tower

Don't you just love being recommended by a close friend to a bride, the joy of creating the perfect cake for they're special day is a wonderful feeling. This bride knew exactly what she wanted, gold cupcakes with white/ivory and stars, and a top cake with gold shooting stars. She did have a picture but in silver, which made my job alot easier.

Having tested a number of white mud cake recipes I have come across this deliciously moist White Chocolate Mud Cupcake, which I topped with a layer of vanilla Italian Buttercream, and styled with a white chocolate fondant disc and gold luster & glitter dusted star. Topper cake is the same as the cupcakes.

Never really being a fan of the White Chocolate Mud Cake I am please to say that this is one is fabulous, you can really taste the white chocolate, and the texture is not overly dense. Thanks to minhneme of ecupcake for the recipe. If you have time check out her blog and you will be blown over by her flavour combinations, I wish she lived around the corner from me so I could be one of her testers.

Starry Castle

Greatly inspired by Debbie Brown's Starry Castle book entitled Magical Cakes. But what the birthday girl wants the birthday girl gets. My little one was very upset when she found out that it wasn't for her! The inside is Rice Crispy Treats (so easy to work with, omg) made with Raspberry Marshmallows (birthday girl isn't a big fan of cake), covered in buttercream and then styled with white fondant. Clouds and Princess made from Flower Modelling Paste.

Glitter, I wouldn't eat it when it is so thick, not that it would hurt me. But lightly sprinkled is ok by me. I just love the effect it gives. I am very please with how well this cake turned out, so much so that I would like to try again but with cake dummies so that I can keep it on display.

2nd - Pink Stars Cake

Chocolate Cake layered with Raspberry Buttercream, styled with same Raspberry Buttercream and Pink Glittered Fondant Stars. A very simple cake but oversweet, the buttercream was a bought one, not my usual Italian Buttercream. I was a little rushed so the edges are not quite as finished, but I do love the colour.
