More Than Cupcakes




















Do CLICK if you like, thank you!





The bottom tier is a 10-inch butter cake, while the top tier is an 8-inch cake.  Cakes are filled with buttercream.  I'd like to add that I only use pure butter for the buttercream.  It tastes so much better than mixing shortening or Krimwell to the buttercream.  The frosting is strawberry-flavoured crusting buttercream.   For the uninitiated, that's buttercream with meringue powder added to it.  The meringue powder helps the buttercream to crust/harden, thus it would not smudge so easily.


The deco is simple - Cornelli Lace piped all over the cakes.


To add impact, I decided to cover the cakeboard with chocolate fondant.  After rolling the fondant evenly onto the cakeboard, I pressed a texture sheet onto the fondant to evenly emboss the pattern.  Then, and this is the part I like best, dusted the chocolate fondant with gold shimmer to give it the rustic effect.


Lastly, sugarpaste flowers to complete the look.
