Ever wonder what happens to leftover frosting?

I made a cake for a little girl's first birthday this weekend. I had leftover batter so I did what anyone would do .... MADE CUPCAKES! I slappled a little of the buttercream I made onto them, and set them aside. Well, after I was finished decorating the cake, I had some piping bags with icing still in them. So I thought, why not let Wyatt have some fun?

He decorated and sprinkled a giant cupcake and a dozen and a half small ones and enjoyed every minute of it!

He put the sprinkles on so carefully!

And now you know where leftover frosting ends up!

Mmmmm.... now that looks like a sugar induced coma just waiting to happen!

Cupcake Smash Cake

So my name is getting out there that I make cakes. WOO HOO! This one was a fun request. An oversize cupcake for a 1 year old's photoshoot for her first birthday. Come on, how fun does that sound?

So, without further adieu, here it is! (Hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures from their photoshoot!)

See? Isn't it just stinking adorable? I think I'll make one for myself when I celebrate the 3rd anniversary of my 29th birthday.

It's white cake with butter cream frosting, sprinkles and a marshmallow fondant & gum paste candle. It looks monstrous in the picture, but the plate that it's sitting on is 6" in diameter. A cake this size makes 4 nice sized servings.
