Jumbo Pretties

Hello Sweet Readers~ I hope you had a fabulous weekend! I cannot believe it is already June!

Here are a couple jumbo cupcakes I made for an order. They were filled with delightful buttercream and I topped them with more buttercream and some more test roses. I actually like making the roses; however, they are very particular about what kind of frosting they want. They seem to do best with the stiffer frosting that doesn't taste all that great. These were made with a very yummy buttercream, and I have to say, I just like the thought of eating that better than "decorator" frosting. I also did some with Italian meringue buttercream and they came out pretty good. That stuff is the bomb in terms of taste. Well, I'll keep trying (and eating all my failures :)

Easter Gifts

Good Morning, Sweet Readers!

Here are some Easter gifts ordered for a little boy and girl. Their mom ordered these as an Easter gift and this is what I came up with. Both are vanilla almond cupcakes filled with caramel and a chocolate truffle. They are topped with vanilla buttercream and some Hershey's chocolate eggs. I then packaged them in their own sweet little boxes.

Jumbo Cupcake!

You have seen my minis, my cupcake pops and bites and my regular size cuppies, but I can make Jumbo ones too! Here is one. It's hard to tell in the photo, but they are about one and a half times as big as a regular cupcake. This one is lemon poppyseed with white chocolate cream cheese buttercream. It is, of course, filled with vanilla buttercream. (It's so big, it was just screaming for filling :)

I had to come back and add to this post..my sweet older son took a look at this jumbo cupcake on the stand, apparently noticing it's larger size, and said, "Wow, is that real?" LOL.
