Super Bowl Dessert Bar

Since the Giants were in the Super Bowl I went a little over the top.

I saw this Bakerella post from last year's Super Bowl and was inspired to make a Giants themed dessert table.

Cupcakes with custard filling, football cake pops, chocolate drizzled popcorn, cookie jerseys, red and blue candy, chocolate dipped pretzels and rice krispie treats. 

The jerseys were supposed to have names... oops ran out of time.

 The best part, the Giants won, making the table completely worth it!!

Wedding Cupcakes

Christy and JT got married on 11/11/11 and asked me to make cupcakes for the wedding. 

Of course I had to give them a cupcake tasting day:

On the menu: yellow cake with custard filling, yellow cake with chocolate filling, white cake with strawberry mascarpone filling (all with buttercream frosting), and a chocolate chocolate chip cupcake with ganache.

I needed ideas for cupcake toppers. I had NEVER dealt with Royal Icing before this so I needed practice. I printed out a flower font for a template and traced over wax paper. My practice flowers:

Now for their big day I stayed with the flowers but added their initials in turquoise for the strawberry filled ones to differentiate.

How they looked displayed:

I absolutely loved being able to contribute to their wedding day!
