my birthday cake {plate}

Every now and then I’ll be browsing in a shoppe and come across a cake plate or cake stand that’s simply irresistible! I saw this one the other day in Mimi’s, a shoppe on First Street in Snohomish. I could practically hear it calling my name, saying, Pick me! Pick me! And… it being nearly my birthday… well, it seemed only the right thing to do! 🙂

This company, MudPie, offers such adorable gifts {and many other items!} for special occasions. But, need there be a special occasion for cake?

I don’t think so either. 😉

Springtime Cupcakes

What a sweet day it was… A beautiful early Springtime brunch and shower of gifts and blessings to celebrate the impending birth {of another granddaughter} with family and friends.

The pink cupcakes were filled with dark chocolate ganache and topped with a swirl of vanilla/almond buttercream. The yellow cupcakes were filled with Lemon Butter and topped with a swirl of lemon buttercream.

Each rose was created from fondant {it’s so easy to make a batch of versatile fondant} that I made a few days prior to the event. For the underside of each rose, I piped a green leaf and then placed the roses on top and pressed gently into the buttercream swirls on each cupcake.

For the pink rose swirl I used a Wilton 1M tip and for the Lemon swirls I used a Wilton 1A tip.

I ordered the cupcake wrappers from Amazon. There are a number of styles to choose from.
