No, seriously, I do. I LOVE cake, you really have no idea how much....

Welcome to my new blog. I should let you know that my passion for cake began in the winter of 2006 after the birth of my second son. I found a cake that I love and then ate it every day....EVERY day...I kid you not! From there I began looking at cakes in whole new way and found that I really appreciate a good cake. I have recently started a cake decorating course and hope one day to be the maker of my own delicious cakes; to make them not only for myself but for others to enjoy too (yes! I have finally decided to share!!). Follow me in my journey from cake connoisseur to cake decorator!! Enjoy...I know I will!!

A dress fit for a Princess!

I love birthdays! Especially those of the most important people in my life :)  The next best thing to giving someone a gift they love is making someone a cake they love!

Instead of a cake, Little Bean decided she wanted cupcakes for her birthday party. She wanted a pretty cupcake dress and I found one online that she loved.

I started by organizing them how I would want them to look.




Then I realized this was a large sized creation and I would not be able to use my standard cake carrier. I had to get creative so I decided to use this:




And this:

I cut the box and opened it up to lay flat on the cupcake pan:

And then covered it with foil. 

I'm pretty brilliant. Lol. 
And it was pretty much easy going from there. I made a double batch of butter cream icing and decorated the first 12 cupcakes white. Then I progressively added more pink to give the dress and "ombre" look.


Then I of course had to start making it more "Princessy" for my special girl.


I put some saran wrap across the middle cupcakes and put the bedazzled belt across. It was something I found the scrapbooking section of Walmart. I put a dab of icing on the "belt" and put the fake flower on high enough that it would not touch the cupcakes. I picked up a tiara and wand set at the dollar store and washed them in hot soapy water. I used them as accents to complete the full princess look:

Ava and all here little girlfriends from school just loved the cupcake dress and had a fabulous time at the party!

Now to start prepping for the boys cake!
