I had a little extra time the other day before picking up my little one from pre-school so I swung in to Homegoods to see what treasures I could find. I rounded the corner of one of the aisles when this lovely little thing caught my eye!

Can you believe it? It's a cupcake stand! And it's the cutest freaking thing I've seen in sometime. I couldn't resist and HAD to have it. I also just had to make a special cupcake just to place on top so when I made the Gator cake the other night I also made some standard size cupcakes as well as 4 jumbo cupcakes. I iced the standard cupcakes with vanilla buttercream and the jumbo's with the same chocolate fudge icicng I used on the cake. And since I was in the fondant flower making mood I made some pink ones to place on top of the cupcakes. And now for the results...

Next: Lexi's 4th birthday cake...

Sweet, Sweet Victory

Gator football and cake...two things I love! Last night I finally found a use for the neon orange fondant I had laying around. I'd been wanting to make some little flowers and since it was Gator orange and the game was on I couldn't resist. I also had a bag of Reese's Pieces in the freezer and who doesn't love those? I filled a devil's food cake with marshmallow fluff and crushed up Reese's Pieces, then I iced the cake with chocolate fudge frosting added the candy at the bottom and the fondant letters and flowers. I thinks she's cute!
