These cupcakes were made for my sisters friend's aunt, I used Bitter Lemon and Lime Sugarflare colouring for the domed tops, and just a touch of Ruby for the decorations. Chocolate flavoured cupcakes were requested, so I used a Devils Food Cake recipe, which you can find a version of here. A simple vanilla buttercream was used to decorate some of the cupcakes also, this consisted of 500g icing sugar, 250g unsalted butter and a tsp vanilla extract, simple simple simple! I've yet to gain any feedback from the cupcakes but I hope they went down well!
I'd like to thank Chris from Baked Clouds for helping me so much with the photography!
I picked up the idea for the design of these cupcakes at work. We had a week of Boutique, Vintage and Wedding Cupcake classes and I had the honour of photographing them, below is one of the pictures I took (beginning to LOVE food photography!), which was then edited by the ever famous Shikhita.

OMG these cupcakes are mindblowing!!! seriously!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nada!
ReplyDeletethey look sweet and just so stunning!!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteYour cupcakes are so pretty! I love the yellow and pink together and rose swirl icing is always so effective.
ReplyDeleteJust to answer the question you left on my blog, I use a Nikon D90 for my photography (I did a lot of photography at uni so I invested in a good camera). I usually use the manual settings and try to get the image/lighting/colours as close to what I want when I'm taking the photo but if needed I do very basic editing using Windows Photo Gallery (I have absolutely no photoshop skills whatsoever!)
Thank you Jo! I use a Nikon D60, thinking of upgrading my lense! Manual settings are far too complicated for me, I just stick to the basic rules of taking pictures in good daylight! I have absolutely no photography knowledge though so the buzz words kill me!
ReplyDeletethe frosting roses on these cupcakes look amazing
ReplyDeleteThank you Kristina! Wilton 2D nozzle :)
