LV Mini Purses and Cupcakes

I am very thankful as I receive orders. It's funny how life is. Last year, I was in limbo in terms of personal goals. In the back of my mind the thought was there with regards to cake decorating.

One year later - after finishing all 4 levels of Wilton Cake Decorating and sharing countless samples, potential customers are approaching me about my new found interest. It shows that if you work on achieving a goal, you can attain it. Just wanted to share that with you, as I am also thankful that you have decided to stop by to view or follow my blog.

And on to my latest order:

I received an order from a co-worker. His Son Drew is turning One and he and his wife were interested in a dozen eggless banana cupcakes. Six would have the initial S after his mother's name, and the other six would have the initial D which represented Drew. Here they are.

I topped them off chocolate buttercream icing, gumpaste initials and if you look closely I added chocolate wafers as well. Too cute!

His wife's Birthday is fast approaching as well and she has a strong fashion sense. He decided to surprise her with a set of mini LV Purse cakes.

The flavour is red velvet and I worked this look with fondant and gumpaste. I piped the LV logo using royal icing. These were fun to make and photograph.

Mini Cakes - Shelter From the Storm

I decorated a set of two min cakes using the logo colours belonging to Shelter From the Storm. Shelter from the Storm is Canada’s largest national campaign dedicated to ending violence against women.

These were to be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to the charity. They are each a 3.5 two layered white chocolate cake covered with fondant. They raised $45.
