These vibrant cupcakes went along with the camouflage cake I posted about the other day.

To create the camouflage cupcakes I followed the same process I did with the wedding cake. I divided the batter into three bowls and colored them the three different colors; or six in this case. I then layered the colored batters with a small disher into the cupcake liners. 

Now I have made some fun and weird cakes in the past, but this camo wedding cake takes the cake! The couple was young and vibrant so when we had our cake consultation ideas were flying off the wall. At one point it was suggested to do a confederate flag (Future Hubby is from Georgia). Thankfully, I was able to persuade them to a traditional style wedding cake with an exciting twist. When the cake would be cut, it would reveal an army green camouflage pattern.

To create the layered camo cake, I divided the cake batter into three bowls and colored them a light tan, forest green, and army green, and chocolate. Using a disher I scooped out the different colors batter on laying on top of one another and repeated until all the pans were full.

​One of my regular bakery clients asked me to make cupcakes for her daughters up and coming birthday party. This year’s theme was Candyland, how fun is that! She didn’t have a specific request for the design of the cupcakes just as long as they fit in with the theme and wanted vanilla and chocolate flavor. After looking at the original game, I decided to go with a simple but fun design. I bought bright colored cupcake liners and whipped up some butter cream frosting. Once the cupcakes were cooled and piped with a swirl of delicious buttercream I added gum drops, peppermint candies, hard candies or colorful sprinkles to all of the cupcakes. I couldn’t help but snap a picture of how beautiful they all looked together in the box!
