blue cupcake: Mermaid Cupcakes

When I first started with the company, I would always take the time to take pictures of every project. Now that we are doing so much more, the cakes and cupcakes are not documented as much for many reasons: no time, someone else is setting up at the event, we have already made and posted pictures of a similar project, or I just forget to bring the camera with me! Well this past weekend, I made a point of taking a picture or two of every orders (I am missing a beautiful Rapunzel cupcake tower - oh no...). Most are taking quickly at the bakery with the stainless refrigerator as a background, but it is better than nothing, right? So this is what a Blue Cupcake weekend looks like!

Fairy tales cakes and cupcakes

The theme of this party, designed by Jennifer Currier of La Soiree Chic, is fairy tales. The tables all had a different theme, such as Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Frog Prince and the Princess and the Pea. I always like the creativity that goes into a boy/girl theme, and this one was no exception!

This mermaid cake is one of my all time favorites. We first created the design for this event, and it's been a classic ever since.

And the mermaid sugar figurine - really like her!

We also made desserts for a wedding. The bride feel in love with our coconut cake and wanted to keep it simple, while having touches of Tiffany blue on the cake and other treats. I don't have pictures of the display, but here is the cake and macarons.

This other cake was made for a tea and cupcakes party. We also did the coordinating cupcakes with tea cups, tea pots and mini desserts on stands.

The ladies are having tea, of course!

This very simple cake was made for a baby shower, along with mini cupcakes. The lamb was inspired by a fun chair the baby will have in his room.

Another classic cake we do on a regular basis is the barn yard cake. No picture of the rest of the clan, but this cupcake and cake tower is always beautiful!

And last but not least... The client wanted to surprise her uncle with a cake that would showcase his passion for gardening and cooking. I had so much fun making all the little details, it takes a long time but I really like doing that kind of detailed work!
