My ladybug

Hey ladybug!


I have been thinking of ways to brand my work (cupcakes, parties, decor, etc.) I thought of having a signature color, but that would only work in the logo. I thought of having a signature theme, but couldn't figure out how to apply it to all projects. Then I thought I'd try a symbol, but what to use?


Well, I refer to everyone as "ladybug". Its a term of endearment and it helps when you can't remember someone's name :) I didn't know how I would infuse my ladybug into my branding plan. When I came across a ladybug fondant topper in Hobby Lobby, I knew I found what I was looking for. Now I only needed to make it mine.


My first ladybugs were made with rolling red fondant in a ball for the body. Using black fondant for the head and a edible writing pen for the spots and line down the back. That was very tedious. I simplified the process by rolling out the red fondant and cutting small circles for the body (eliminating the rolling step.)


I am trying royal icing for the ladybugs this week. We'll see how that works out...

1st Cupcake Cake

Sooo... as a last minute idea, I decided to throw together a "cake" for my cousin's birthday. 


I had made Italian Cream Cake Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing for dessert. I felt he needed something to celebrate with his name on it. (He likes the attention.)


I have never decorated the cupcakes as a cake before and had no idea as to what I was going to do. I tried a couple of different shapes and decided on this one. The top coat of icing was a lot easier to do than I had thought. I outlined it with a quick ruffle. I used some leftover cupcake fondant toppers. Added a few words and candles and ta da!


I am going to try this again soon, now that I know how easy it is :)
