Despicable Me Cupcakes

I'm so glad I was asked to make these super cute cupcakes!  Who doesn't just love those little minions?! I try to teach myself something on each cake, or cupcake in this case, that I do. On these I learned how to paint - super handy!! Painting is so much faster!

Jail Cake for the Bachelorette and Her Bandits

Over this past weekend, I had the privilege to make a bachelorette cake for a dear friend of mine. She requested a cake made to look like male parts, but with kids in the house, I told her absolutely not. It was a bit later that her maid of honor and I chatted for a while about the theme of the party. She planned an outlaw/jail themed party for the bride-to-be and everyone was instructed to wear black and white. Knowing nothing more, I set to work on this cake. I learned quite a bit with this cake. I've worked with black fondant before, but I learned how to make my own, and how HARD it can be...and how much I hate that color : ) And I made black frosting for the first time as well, and hated it even more! I did feel pretty accomplished when it was all said and done though!
