Mini cupcakes

One thing I endeavour to do is provide a cake solution to suit all budgets - and mini cupcakes have become a popular choice to provide volume of cake,  but great affordability. They also seem to have less wastage and are easier to transport, serve and eat at little people's parties.  Recently I created the below creation for a little girl's 6th birthday party.   They were a mixture of vanilla and strawberry butter cake cupcakes, iced in either strawberry or vanilla buttercream and topped with different fondant decorations and or sprinkles.

Black cupcakes - 21st Birthday party

I was recently contacted by a client who sent me a black and white picture of a cupcakes and asked me I could do it. I automatically googled for the original image and sent it back asking her if she wanted it in colour - at which point she explained they wanted black cupcakes with icing varying from black to light grey. Now initially I ho-hummed about the best way to do this and after a trial dozen found the technique that best match the picture and the client approved of.

The end result was black coloured vanilla cupcakes with buttercream varying from charcoal - light grey.

Cupcake Packs

When I first started Big Cake, little cake I wanted to be able to fill the gap between the professional cake artists and chain stores like Woolies or the Cheesecake Shop.   I also wanted to help busy people make their lives easier, and one timesaver I could provide was cupcakes packs.

These come in standard or mini cupcakes and are delivered to local parties / schools / daycare centres / businesses with candles and serviettes so all you have to do is sing and eat!

This particular Birthday cake pack had a dozen chocolate egg / dairy free cupcakes and 2 dozen vanilla cupcakes all iced in a dairy free buttercream style frosting, was delivered to Warner, and I arranged some of the cupcakes on a board for the customer in a "2".
