Use tip 4B to pipe the decorations on each cupcake. My friend Grace had the brilliant idea to use orange sugar pearls at the center of each flower.

Egg yellow gel paste is used to color the frosting on these cupcakes. Use about one-quarter teaspoon per 4 cups of frosting to get this shade.

For perfectly sized cupcakes, use a batter scoop to fill your baking cups. I use one level scoop per cupcake.

  • Dainty Dogwood Cupcakes

    One of my favorite trees is the Dogwood tree. They have the most beautiful delicate blossoms and I love seeing them in bloom. Even though the gorgeous blossoms will only last for so long, you can enjoy these dainty Dogwood cupcakes year round! These little chocolate Dogwood blossoms are the perfect size for topping a cupcake, and floral decorations work for so many different occasions. I think these would be lovely with white frosting for a rustic wedding cupcake tower. As always I am a big fan of making chocolate decorations because they are tasty and can be made in advance, so on the days leading up to to your event all you have to worry about is perfecting your cupcake recipe and frosting.

  • Where the Wild Things Are Cake

    This is a very special cake that I made for my husband’s 30th birthday. The book, Where the Wild Things Are, is his favorite children’s book; and as you can probably tell, this cake was inspired by that beloved classic children’s story by Maurice Sendak. This cake is super detailed, and my husband had a lot to do with that. He loves designs that are very realistic, intricate, and detailed, and this cake is a perfect illustration of his style. The cakes I usually create are a bit more clean and simple, so I definitely made and exception for this one. But the bottom line is that you really want the recipient to love the cake, especially when it’s your husband!
