Fondant Decorating: My First Cupcakes!

Hey everyone!

So it's actually been two years since I've made my very first fondant cake.  I didn't really expect to enjoy baking and cake decorating so much, and making so many cakes after the first one.  But I enjoyed it so much, it just kept going and it all snowballed from there.  I want to share with you all my previous cakes and cupcakes I've made.  So here is the first set of cupcake photos from my first year of baking.

Fondant Decorating: SUSHI CUPCAKES!

Someone had asked me to make birthday cupcakes for a good friend of his, and the design was

completely up to me.  So I asked for some suggestions, what does she like? He said she's Japanese

so do something cute and Japanese related.  He suggested anime cartoon but then I thought

sushi cupcakes would be even cuter!

He was really happy when he came by to pick up the cupcakes!

She said she took a million pictures before eating them haha.

Exactly what I do, take a million pictures before I give them away!

I've seen many versions of Sushi Cupcakes online, this is my own version :)

A&C's Wedding Cupcake Favors!

I had recently made custom cupcakes as wedding favours for A and C.

The design was inspired by their purple, white and orange colour theme and white flower

decors they had for the wedding.

These were some of the flower decors at their wedding.

These white flowers are made out of fondant.  I used flower cutters of different

sizes and shapes and layered them together.

Some orange flowers.

 

Some cupcakes had purple hearts with a floral design. 

A&C's wedding favours! 

"I DO" cupcake.

 

 

It was also my first time providing clear gift boxes with the cupcakes.

I'm not even exaggerating, it took 2 hours to fold the boxes, 3 hours to measure/cut/tie the ribbons, 

3 hours to put the cupcakes in and ice them, 1 hour to close the boxes and place the tag and ribbon on top.

I underestimated the time and labour for these boxes!

(Thank goodness I had help lol!)

and this is what 300 of them looks like!

(Sorry for the low quality, took it with my phone!)

 

All boxes folded!

Delivering them to the venue was a mission! This was only half the boxes,

there was also a flight of stairs we had to carry them up before strolling it through the mall

and into the elevator.  

Finally got there! And I have to say.. it was one of the most beautiful wedding venues

I've ever seen! Their decors, flowers.. everything was incredible! Very happy my cupcakes 

got to be a part of it!
