I'm not going to lie, I've been pretty discouraged about Kansas' lack of cottage law. And, professionally speaking, I made a decision to work on my degree which has taken a lot of my time.
The upside is that I've been pretty busy this month and made some wedding cupcakes for a friend and a teenage mutant ninja turtle cake. The TMNT cake was only my 3rd fondant cake and I think it turned out phenomenal (especially as compared to my 1st attempt - the poor R2D2 failure).
First the wedding cupcakes.
My friend Misty was having a rather large wedding. Unfortunately I had to decline the opportunity to make the cake. She asked me originally to do a 3 tiered fondant covered cake that would serve 250. My tiny kitchen couldn't handle that kind of action. Eventually we settled on some cupcakes instead. I ended up making 2 dozen each of 3 different flavors & 75 chocolate covered strawberries. I made Orange Creamsicle, Chocolate with Chocolate Ganache Filling and Peanut Butter Fudge Buttercream, & Chocolate with Chocolate Ganache Filling with Butterscotch Buttercream.
Somehow I managed to not get a picture of the butterscotch ones. But here's what I did get:
Orange Creamsicle - we sprinkled some shimmery pearl luster dust
Chocolate with Chocolate Ganache Filling and Peanut Butter Fudge Frosting
And now for the whole display put together:
There were a couple of monster berries... we captioned this one as, "One Berry to Rule Them All"
