Monkey Cupcakes

These are cupcakes I made for a co-worker's baby shower. She loves red velvet cake, so the cupcakes are red velvet with a pale blue tinted cream cheese frosting (she's having a boy).

The monkeys are made of gumpaste, fondant, and royal icing.

Snowball Cake

This is another cake I made for our 4th of July cookout.  The "cake" is basically a trifle composed of angel food cake and a mixture of strawberries, jello, and whipped cream.

 I topped the dish with cut strawberries and blueberries.

Red, White & Blue Mini-Cupcakes

I made these mini-cupcakes for our 4th of July cookout.  The cupcakes were a butter vanilla white cake. 

I colored the batter so that each cupcake was a layer of red, white, and followed by a layer of blue.  The icing is buttercream and the stars are fondant.
