Boys Christening Cake Decorations

I was asked to make these little boys Christening cake decorations for a returning customer who had previous had some golf cake decorations & some sugar lilies made for cakes that she had made herself.

The brief this time was for me to incorporate a teddy bear, a cross & some baby blocks spelling out the little boys name, all with a baby blue, white & silver theme.

I decided to have the teddy bear clutching the cross & also gave him a cute little baby blanket.

Everything was made using marshmallow fondant modeling paste & finished off with edible lustre dusts for an extra shimmer.

Also included were some baby block faces to go around the cake as the border.  For these I used hearts, stars, crosses & the first initial of the little boy.

I thought it would be a nice idea as well to make some of those border block faces spell out the date of the Christening & so I highlighted them in silver to match the other blocks with the name on & make them stand out from the other a little.

Blue & Brown Little Boys Christening Cupcakes

These adorable cupcakes were to help celebrate a precious little boys Christening  on Easter Sunday.

It was an order of 6 dozen cupcakes for a gorgeous cupcake tower display.

As you can see the colour scheme was blue & brown & I designed a variety of toppers for the cupcakes. They chose to have a mixture of novelty toppers & crosses.

The cake for the cupcake were a mixture of 'Killer Chocolate' (milk chocolate butter cake) & 'Blondie' (vanilla butter cake).  The 'Killer Chocolate' ones were topped with vanilla & white chocolate buttercream (tinted blue) & the 'Blondie' ones were topped with a rich chocolate ganache buttercream.

I used a cute little stitching effect around all of the topper discs & all of the topper were dusted with lustre dusts to give them a lovely shimmer (although you can't really see it in the photos).

For the novelty toppers we have the angel wings with halo & babies bibs.  The angel wings were my absolute favourite, so adorable I thought!

Next we have the baby bottles & tiny baby footprints (my second favourite).

& finally the baby rattles.

As usual I also designed 3 extra special toppers with a personal message for the top of the cupcake tower, on these I included some buttons (they were meant to signify being cute as a button but I am not sure if anyone will of noticed, lol).

These were the crosses that I embossed with a tiny T which was the babies initial.

The order was a pick up as they were from out of town so unfortunately I do not have any photos of the cupcake tower all set up, but I am hoping to get some from the customer & will post them as soon as I do.

Upon returning the cupcake stand the client was lovely enough to bring along some of the party favours they had given out containing little Easter eggs for my children, what a lovely thought, thank you again.

The customer said: "You had plenty of people talking about how beautiful the cup cakes looked and how yummy they were!  Thanks again for them!" Tegan & has now booked me to make another cake.
