Story Book Cakes

Oooo..... Sorry for the late posting.  I have been busy though.

A brother and sister celebration. 4 year old Ashanti loves Princess Jasmine, and two year old Ajahni loves Spiderman. Chocolate cake story book style!

I prepared two chocolate cakes with buttercream icing. I pulled out some pages from a colouring book and placed a sheet of parchment paper on top of each of them. I then traced the pictures with a thin piping tip of black buttercream icing mixed with piping gel.  Once that was done, I took one of the cakes and placed the one of the parchment paper tracings upside down on top of the cake and pressed it on to the surface.  I then coloured within the lines with coloured icing mixed with icing gel.

My Stylist Suzette of R n B Creations in Brampton mentioned that her son's birthday was coming up. I instantly went in for the kill.

"I would love to make Ethan a cake. Any theme in mind?"

Turns out Ethan is a fan of Spiderman. Suzette requested cupcakes too. Here is what I came up with:
I added blue and red food dye to the cake batter. There is nothing like an additional surprise of colour once a cake is sliced.

The cupcakes were carrot cake with cream cheese icing. I added creepy black spiders to continue with the theme.
