Police Cupcakes!

So, a while ago (hooray procrastination!) I was asked to make cupcakes for Telecommunications Appreciation Week at the Medley Police Department. I decided to make little fondant police penguins for the occasion!

Along with the penguins, I made little radios, and computers.



This particular computer had a "Farmville" scene painted on it, cause when the world doesn't need saving, crops need harvesting. :-)




I also made a few with just some sprinkles.


The cupcakes were Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting (which has NO STABILITY WHATSOEVER!) My cupcake swirls flattened out, I'm lucky my ridges at least stayed. Ah well, they tasted amazing, so I'm happy.
Happy (belated) Telecommunications Week!

Happy Easter!


So this cake is a three layer chocolate/vanilla cake with chocolate filling. All the decorations are made with fondant or butter cream.

Hi!

Ah yes, the basket weave. First time ever doing it, really happy with the result. Ended up running out of butter cream on the last row- which was SO annoying, so thats why there are random eggs jutting out of the side of the cake (shown below, to the right).


There was also a fondant handle that said "Happy Easter", but the Florida humidity got to it and....I don't want to talk about it. Who needs a handle anyway?

Happy Easter everyone!
