I'm pretty pleased with my cakes and frosting but I'm looking for a little more oomph in my presentations. Food is also a form of artistic expression but I don't like food that has been overly manipulated and handled. Sometimes I see these beautiful cakes on Cake Boss and Amazing Cakes but watching them make it makes me not want to eat it. I like my food to look a little less like art and a little more like food. All that to say while I was baking for Thanksgiving, I decided to play with a display option for an event I'm doing next week. I went to Michael's earlier this week and
lost my damn mind picked up a few things. I wanted to either do a cupcake bouquet or cupcake martini. I bought the glass, a round styrofoam block and some confetti string.
|
I taped (double-sided) the block inside the glass and spread the red and white string. |
|
I stuck 2 toothipicks in the styrofoam for each cupcake and slid them on one by one. |
|
I cut the leaves off these decorations. |
|
Placed the leaves in an alternate pattern. |
|
Frosted them with the small star tip (Wilton) |
|
All done! Pretty classy if I do say so myself;) |
The Red Velvet Cupcakes were a Big hit on ThanksGiving! Thank you so much! Will be ordering again for X-Mas :)
