Starbucks Cup Cake!

Cup of coffee anyone?? Is it a cup of coffee?...is it a cake?? I LOVE these look-a-like cakes! It is quite a challenge to try and copy a nationally recognized brand.  It could go Sooo wrong,  But they are so cool when they turn out just right =) I do enjoy my daily cup of coffee.....so I had an awesome time with this one!   

This cup of coffee was White vanilla cake with vanilla frosting, covered in fondant with an edible image logo, and fondant coffee and banner....additional details were courtesy of Starbucks ;) 

And a little personnel touch *Happy Birthday TIM!!*

Cupcakes for my loves

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!!! Pretty much rules my TV right now, thanks to my 3 year old. She is absolutely OBSESSED with Minnie Mouse! So when it came to her 3rd birthday I knew exactly what I was going to do! I did coconut cupcakes with a whipped pink frosting covered with coconut. The bow is fondant, and Mouse ears are black melting chocolate rounds.

My baby sister turned the big 1-8 !!!  So I made her a BIG giant gourmet cupcake to celebrate! The cupcake "wrapper" is done out of melting chocolate. Inside is a double vanilla chocolate chip cake. topped with chocolate ganache, vanilla butter cream, cookie crumbles, Drizzled with ganache, and finally, adorned with a full size chocolate chip cookie! Let me tell you it smelled DIVINE mmmm!

 Yummm! And just in case you were wondering....... yes this can be done in virtually ANY flavor combination!! So dangerous!!
