Regal Purple Cupcakes

This little girl asked her mom for "Gangsta Purple Cupcakes with Gold". She's 4. What does she know about gangsta purple? LOL

My inspiration came from "A pimp named slick back's suit" #Boondocks

I think I did a good job matching the colour as it is very hard to get a deep purple without using the whole entire jar AND without making the icing taste bitter. No one wants that!

Product Used: Americolor Regal Purple , Gold Liners, and Gold Pearls

Turquoise Quilt

Turquoise Quilt Cake with Pink Icing and Pink Batter.

 

A very Quick Crumb Coat of the cake. I left plastic underneath so the icing would not get everywhere. After applying fondant, I removed it for less clean up.

The finished product.

The gold ribbon was wrapped around the bottom to make it pop a bit more.

Royalty Cake

A friend of mine ordered this royal cake for her boyfriend's 25th birthday. It was an interesting thing to make.

The navy blue fondant was achieved by starting with white fondant. I then used Wilton's Colour Right System starting with drops of blue mixing with red and pink. Eventually after getting the blue colour, I then darkened it with a bit of black. Voila! 

After quilting the side of the cake, I stuck gold pearls to the side.  I melted white chocolate into a numbers mold and placed in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes. After I took them out, I painted the numbers as well as the crown with an "old gold" lustre dust from Golda's Kitchen. 

The front "Happy Birthday Kareem" sign was made by his girlfriend using paper and sparkles. And lastly, the car  is a black Audi - which is what he drives daily.

Happy Baking!
