Cupcake Portfolio... Fondant

So today I spent the day in the kitchen....First thing this morning I tried out a new white cake recipe...fail! I think I figured out that the recipe calls for too much flour. They are fluffy and feel moist to the touch, then you bite into one....DRRRYYYYY! So anyway I took advantage of this cupcake failure! I made a batch of butter cream and a batch of fondant and went to work practicing decorating cupcakes. So ignore the cupcakes and focus on the decor!

Came up with a few different designs that I was happy with but I still need lots of practice, especially bows. 

 Bridal Shower or just a Girly Birthday

Probably use this for almost any occasion you were celebrating.

Another Bee, this was one of the first cupcakes I did today so its a little sloppy but the idea is still there. Could pair this with a lady bug cupcake and a cupcake caterpillar

 Tame Bachelorette Cupcakes or Diva Birthday

Charlee's Favorite! Ice Cream Cupcake could be used for any occasion this summer!

So today was a busy but productive day (in the cupcake aspect of my house) . Between baking, making icing and fondant, coloring icing and fondant 8 different colors and creating some cupcakes. Only to then clean up my huge mess, do a mini cupcake photo shoot, upload and edit the pictures and finally ....finally Blog about it all and be able to share it with you...Oh yes, all the while being a mom. =)  It was a good day in my kitchen!

Bre's Cupcake Portfolio

Last fall I decided that I would start making cupcakes to sell. Starting small with a simple ad on kijiji to see where it would take me, to see if people were actually interested in cupcakes. So right away I got a few friends of friends interested for their kids birthdays. Perfect Start! Excuse these first few pictures, they are all pre-kitchen aid.

Then it was Christmas and I just wanted to focus on family and the holidays so I didn't bother to re-post my ad. WELL!! I received two of the best Christmas presents ever! #1: My Kitchen Aid from my parents...my new toy! #2: My Wilton decorating kit from my husband! Two awesome gifts that went hand in hand! Let the baking commence...

The new edition! YAY!

Makin my life easier! and my blog more exciting!

Anyway so after the holidays I re-posted my ad and continued making more cupcakes to ad to my personal portfolio.  Resulting in cupcakes for every occasion and no occasion...

I received a response to my kijiji ad about a picture I had of some bachelorette cupcakes I made, the lady said I should mark my ad PG or "18 and over only" So instead of posting the picture directly on this page I'll link them...

Finally! About 3 weeks ago I get a response to my ad about cupcakes for a baby shower....this is the best part...FROM SOMEONE I DIDN'T KNOW! haha So today I spent the morning making these cupcakes for her.

I unfortunately did not make these cupcakes, this is my model for her cupcakes. She asked for Modern, loved these and these colors.

This is what I spent my morning making...I am proud to say these are mine! Even if they arent identical! =)

Baby Shower for a little boy!

 About 10 minutes after I finished making these I was chatting with girl I made cupcakes for before. She is throwing a baby shower...and asked if I would make cupcakes for it! Well OF COURSE!! So happy I already have my next project.
