I'm Back!

I know I know...it's been seriously like a month since I've updated. This doesn't mean I stopped baking!!....Well, I did some SERIOUS baking this weekend. Good news- I was asked to audition for a FoodNetwork Cupcake challenge series. (Doesn't mean I'll be on tv but I'm shooting for it hahah) They asked me to create 1 or more than one crazy cupcake to show or bring in for my audition....SO I made 4.

These are my cheesy sketches that I came up with

So we're starting with my: Ultimate-GrandeDeluxe'-Breakfast-Cupcake

Here we have a lovely bacon infused maple base, topped with a decadent maple frosting, with butterscotch "pancakes", and complimented by a bed of bacon and blueberry accents.

Bacon is key here...The rendered fat really bring out the flavors in the cupcake.

Next up we have: Gold infused grande' espresso cupcake

Mademoiselle we have here a lovely Irish creme' and dark chocolate cake base topped with a silky espresso frosting with lovely gold accents.

"I lOvE GgGollLddD!"

Next is a little more fondant work: Meet HelloKitty

She's actually made of strawberry cake...mmM tastes cute too!

She sits on her glitter hill and white chocolate cake hill.

Next we have here a lovely - Itty-bitty-fits-in-your-hand wedding cake...

3 tiers --white chocolate filled with raspberry

Topped with Nature's own fancy jems....


There you have it---all done within 2 days...my feet and back hurt but it was all worth it

Thanks for stoppin by!

Ciao*
