Father’s Day Cupcakes: Fondant Neckties

June 7, 2013 by Jenn

Father’s day is another one of those special holidays that you want to treat your loved ones special, and those people who are close to you definitely deserve it! Not to give you information overload, but my dad and I have always had a very close relationship, but it hasn’t been without it’s differences. We are very similar in our dominant Type A personalities and is a relationship that I value dearly.

The Father’s Day cupcakes that I have made will not be for every type of Dad out there, but mine went to work each day wearing a shirt and tie. My brother and I bought him countless ties for Father’s Day, birthdays and Christmas’, so when I decided to make this video, I thought it would be perfect!

So if you have a father that has to “dress up” to go to work each day, make these for him, and show him how important he is to you!

How to Make Sunflower Cupcakes

June 7, 2013 by Jenn

Yay! Spring is finally here!!

It’s rainy and dark here in the East Kootenay’s of Canada, but I’ll take the warmer weather and sporadic sunny days over winter and snow any day! What makes me think happy spring days (besides the end of school?!) are SUNFLOWERS!! Yes, I know they are a fall flower, but they are so sunny and bright, that you can’t help but be cheery.

I used to have a huge collection of sunflower belongings, but having moved twice in one year, lots of it “disappeared”. I have my favourites still, a stained glass piece my uncle got me from the East Coast of Canada, and a vase (that he also got me). I’m not into the whole country-chic home decor, so I’m trying to keep the rest of sunflowers in the garden . . . at school! I had my Kinders plant them this spring so we can enjoy them this fall.

In this video we show you how to make sunflower cupcakes. These sunflower cupcakes are quick and easy to make … enjoy!

How to Make a Barbie Cake / Princess Cake

June 4, 2013 by Jenn

Who doesn’t love Barbie?!?! For a couple of minutes we can put aside all of the controversy and the thoughts of whether an anatomically correct Barbie would be as loved by today’s society as she currently is, and just enjoy the icon that is Barbie. Whatever your opinion on Barbie, she has managed to withstand the test of time and continues to run rampent in elementary schools . . . in Cranbrook at least! We’ve always been about 10 years behind current trends, so maybe Barbie is passe. Oh well, I’ll add an edited note to this post in 10 years if that is the case.

Now, lets move to putting Barbie in a cake . . . and make a Barbie cake! If you want to replace the barbie with another type of doll, change away! Any doll will work with this design. If you do not have a doll pick, and want to put an actual Barbie in the cake (who has money to do that?!?), after baking the cake, you will need to carve out the center of the cake, wrap Barbie in syran wrap (make sure she’s clean) and follow the same decorating steps as I show you in the video.

How to Make Iron Man Cake Pops

May 30, 2013 by Jenn

I just have to ask . . . when are the girlie movies coming out? The other day I told you about my Star Trek cupcakes (and how I’m not a Trekkie, but the love of popcorn brings me to the theatre). As much as I love the movies, I just don’t like these comic book characters. Honestly I struggled with the motivation for these cake pops, as I just don’t get why someone called Iron Man is popular. But, many people don’t understand why a Louboutin is popular . . . so touche. As I was practicing for these cake pops, which actually turned out quite cute (can I say cute in reference to Iron Man?), I looked that them at one point and realized I had put the face on upside down. Oops. But, don’t worry, I have the faces the right way round in the video!! Perhaps I should have let Paul drag me to the theatre to see this movie . . . where a grown man wears a costume . . . and his chest glows. . . uh, I think I’ll stick the Star Trek.

How to Make Star Trek Cupcakes

May 27, 2013 by Jenn

Are you a self professed Trekkie? If you are, I hope I have done these cupcake toppers justice. I am NOT a Trekkie, but I do love the hype of all things movie related. I will watch any movie as long as it is dark, loud and I have a bag of popcorn in my lap. I haven’t yet been to the new Star Trek, but we’re hoping to make our way to the local theatre this week to catch it!

In this video we show you how to make Star Trek uniform cupcakes with matching star backdrop cupcakes. These Star-Trek cupcakes are quick the easy to make … let’s get started!
