<br />
<br />
Create cute baby shower cakes in no time<br />
<br />
Baby shower cake are probably the cutest cakes there are. They are usually made for a boy or a girl. Colors are pastel: For a girl we often use pink or violet and for a boy blue or green color.<br />
<br />
Sometimes however, parents don’t want to know the gender of their baby so “neutral” pastel colors can be used, like yellow or orange for example.<br />
<br />
We will show you here how easy it is to make a beautiful baby shower cakes with the edible images.<br />
<br />
There are all kinds of photos you may choose to make a stunning, personalized baby shower cake. These days it is very popular to use ultra sound images of the baby.<br />
<br />
You may use baby “stuff” pictures or clip art … sky is the limit!<br />

Is there any child, a boy, or a girl who doesn't like Dora? I do not think so.<br />
<br />
Dora is very popular and fun character in Dora the Explorer. All children simply love and adore Dora due to her kind personality and adventurous spirit.<br />
<br />
She has positive view and teaches children many things like Spanish for example. That is why most boys and girls like Dora and her adventures.<br />
<br />
Making Dora birthday cakes for your children's birthday is attractive and all guests will be happy specially the celebrants.<br />
<br />
If you wish to make Dora birthday cakes, you have to use your creativity and imagination. You do not need any special receipt for this cake. At first, decide what type of the cake you are going to bake. For example, you can bake an ordinary cake and add Dora figurine or Dora photo on the top of the cake. Never mind whether you decide to bake chocolate cake or a butter cake as long as it matches your kids' flavor. They will be thrilled and all their friends will envy them.<br />

<br />
The complicated way is to bake the cake in Dora shape cake pan. This shape is very interesting and attractive and I am almost certain that your children are going to be extremely and pleasantly surprised. As I said, it is a little bit complicated method to bake this cake but if you have patience and time, you can make your child happy. Buying Dora shape cake pan and baking this cake on your own can cost a lot of money.<br />
<br />
If you cannot afford this, bake a regular cake, put some cute little Dora figurines on the top of the cake, and write Dora wishes you Happy Birthday. Your kids will simply love it.<br />

There are lots of beautiful cakes you can make with the dome fun cake design for specific themed parties. When you build a dome, you can make little animals or buildings out of it, or use it to give life to a theme.<br />
<br /> Animals like the turtle or a ladybug can easily be formed using small domes for the legs and body. You can use red frosting for the body and round off the mouth with chocolate icing and cookies.<br />

<br />
Such cakes are a great hit with kids and the simple dome design can be used to great effect.When you want to make a building or a person, the dome fun cake design would again come in handy.<br />
<br />
Layers of domes stacked on top of each other can make a nice building. You can even create a person by using small domes as the body. Dark chocolate frosting can be used for the covering.<br />
<br />
You can use small candies to shape the person’s eyes, nose and mouth. In case you are going for a more specific sports theme, the dome is the best idea to make everything. Soccer balls to golf balls, all use the same design and you can decorate it with buttercream filling and a frosting of your choice.

You are thinking about making a dog birthday cake? Why not? It may seem kind of different, but in my family we celebrate everything. Even the dog’s birthday.<br />
<br />
If you’ve never had a birthday party for your dog; you’re really missing out on a lot of fun. You may use below cake to celebrate a dog lover's birthday as well.<br />
<br />
A few years ago, I hosted a birthday party for our Basset Hound. I invited my niece, who was about eleven at the time, and her poodle.We had a blast. She brought a Gainesburger for the birthday boy and we actually used that for his birthday cake. We munched on another birthday cake I had baked.<br />
<br />
I found some pictures of cakes on the Internet and really loved a birthday cake design I found shaped like a bone. How perfect for a dog birthday cake! A bone design for this kind of cake can be really cute, but there are a lot of other cute cake designs you could use too. What about a Dalmatian themed cake or even a Blue’s Clues birthday cake?<br />
<br />

Every kid or adult is sure to fall in love with a dog fun cake design that reminds them of man’s best friend. Such designs are extremely simple to make and you need the base cake prepared beforehand. When it comes to the images, you can go for the butter cream transfer method or the toothpick tracing method to make the best outlines.

<br />
Once the shape has been prepared, you need to use proper chocolate frosting to make the mouth design. You can make your great cake design even better by using decorating tips to draw the paws and nose of the dog instead of using cookies or candies.The paws and nose should be done with a combination of black color and chocolate icing so that it looks bright and attractive. For the eyes, you can use the cookies or candies and use pink frosting for a wagging tongue. If done properly, the dog fun cake design would surely win everyone over. </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Everyone wants to save money especially when it applies to business expenses.<br />
<br />
My daughter and I make unique cakes in our homes for friends and family. Many people who see our cakes are begging us to make cakes for their family events. We sometimes will do them for the cost of making the cake since we don’t have a license yet.<br />
<br />
We shop end of season sales for cake pans and other cake decorating supplies. For instance we shop for Christmas pans, candy decorations and plastic holiday picks and cake cupcake toppers at a decent post holiday sale price/discount.<br />
<br />
If you have friends who also love to bake and you chip in to buy bags, tips and other cake decorating supplies in bulk, you should be able to find some great discounts on the cake decorating supplies that you need at a decent price.<br />
<br />

</div>
A cake stand that rotates may make it easier to properly decorate the cake. Again look and ask for discounts. The cake stand is intended to be a way to display your cake creations at a dinner or a child’s party.<br />
<br />
You can purchase many cake items below cost if you shop at the right stores. Check out going out of business sales and stores that are having closeout and overstock sales. Store A may not be able to sell even one set of name brand cake decorating tips. But store B may buy that stock and have people ask for more icing tips and decorating bags than are available. This could be due to store or brand loyalty as well as cost.<br />
<br />
Just remember cheaper doesn’t mean it is an inferior product nor does more expensive always mean better. Check cake decorating supplies before you put out any money. It might be a good idea to stick with brand names that you know.<br />
<br />
Cake serving supplies are purchases which can be reasonable or expensive depending on the medium that you buy.<br />
<br />
In
general many of the discount cake serving suppliers tend to supply
plastic trays or servers in bulk. However end of lines sales and stock
that is to be discontinued as a range can be knocked down to a discount
price.<br />
Cake servers can be used again and again even if they are
plastic, and silver slices should last a while even if they are only
plated silver. Candy supply is often only discounted by quantity but you
have the option to join with friends and bulk buy certain items.<br />
<br />
Baking
supplies such as paper liners and cup cake holders can sometimes be
bought from discount stores, but if you are making cakes as a business
do bear I n mind that the quality does vary enormously and if something
is too cheap then the chances are that the quality will be reduced as
well, but look at the quality offered. Local suppliers should not be
discounted sacks of flour and sugar always work out cheaper than buying
the equivalent product at retail prices in small amounts. <br />
<br />
Sometimes it is not important what purpose hides behind the cake decoration. We often make cakes for birthdays or weddings but cakes can be made occasionally just to surprise our dear friends or members of our family.<br /><br />No matter what is the reason for making cakes, if you want to have beautiful decorated cake, you must have right decorating supplies.<br /><br />When the time for baking cake comes, it is essential to have the right decorating supplies in stock. First, you have to make a list of all-important items you need for decoration. When do so, it is much easier to get them. Now you have to decide where to buy all the supplies without spending too much money.<br /><br />Try to find some specialized stores that offer great discounts because buying discount cake decorating supplies will leave more money in your pocket. There are various stores where you can find different kinds of decorating supplies. Many local stores or craft stores have some discounts at the end of every week so you can wait weekends and shop for discount cake decorating supplies.<br /><br />You can shop online as well and this is the great opportunity to buy quality cake decorating supplies at reasonable price. Buying these supplies on sale doesn't mean they are not of good quality. Very often new equipment show on market and sellers reduce the prices of the old ones. At the same time, you can shop used cake decorating supplies and save additional money.There are many different ways to find discount cake decorating supplies.<br /><br />You just need a little bit of patience and spare time to make a list of all supplies you need and then try to search for the best price offered on the market. You will be surprised to see that you can find discount cake decorating supplies.<br /> <br />

Dirt cakes are perfect to make for gardeners or for kids considered "tweenies", not little kids anymore but not yet teenagers. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVju9z5cOSgczaQPJ5ZIHN93s7U41OjuD2xfr6IfMqvT7eUFs2XWEt-D5_meaqQKnunkepLES52X4qHPyxbKb1R3xfkewAsPLtNCgZpCzWkallUzeL84eyOQOcdWe50pOTxEZu3lInFxXr/s1600/dirt-cake-design.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVju9z5cOSgczaQPJ5ZIHN93s7U41OjuD2xfr6IfMqvT7eUFs2XWEt-D5_meaqQKnunkepLES52X4qHPyxbKb1R3xfkewAsPLtNCgZpCzWkallUzeL84eyOQOcdWe50pOTxEZu3lInFxXr/s1600/dirt-cake-design.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
There is no baking involved in this easy recipe. Dirt cake is made from chocolate sandwich cookies and a mixture of cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, milk, instant pudding and whipped topping. <br />
<br />
There is very little decorating to do. Usually a clay pot is lined with foil and then some crumbled cookies are placed in the pot. Next a mixture of the other ingredients is added. Continue to layer the ingredients and when full add a small plastic flower and some gummi worms in the dirt. <br />
<br />
For younger kids put the mixture in new plastic pails and add a miniature shovel to eat with. They will be delighted. My daughter served this at a party for 5 year olds, the layered mixture was put in paper cups with wooden ice cream spoons. <br />

You too can impress everyone by coming up with a simple but beautiful cake with some innovative decorations. You can go for the template or Butter cream transfer method if you want a complete outline.<br />
<br />
A more creative way is to stack up layers of small cake for the body. It looks a lot more natural and the pot bellied dinosaur can win lots of hearts. Once you have prepared the body shape, it is now time for the frosting and decoration.<br />
<br />
You can use frosting of a color of your choice for this exceptional fun cake design. You do not have to stick to traditional colors and everything from red to purple is acceptable. You can use small candies to make the teeth and claws and smoothen out the tail with icing and a knife. The combination of white frosting with a hint of black color can be used for the eyes of the dinosaur.<br />
<br />
The pupil can be made by taking a small chip out of a chocolate chip cookie. You can also use a decorating tip to fill in the pupil with dark chocolate. Your dinosaur fun cake design is now complete and ready to be the main attraction at the party.<br /><br /> </div>

<br />
She was pregnant and was soon going to have a baby wonder. So we girls decided on a diaper cake as a gift for her. <br />
<br />
The question was how many diapers we would order for. <br />
<br />
Lucy said that the amount of diapers would depend on how many tiers the cake would have. <br />
<br />
Apart from disposable diapers, we had the following ingredients ready for the diaper cake : <br />
<br />
<br />
* Yarn <br />
* Baby items like bib, rattle, little socks, pacifiers etc. <br />
* Ribbons <br />
* An empty paper towel roll or tube. <br />
* A soft toy or baby bottle to be placed on top of the cake <br />
* Baby gift wrapping paper. <br />
<br />
We secured and rolled diapers making complete circles of the diapers, one on top of the other, next to the paper towel tube. <br />
<br />
For securing the tiers, we used ribbon or yarn. We took care to see that the second tier was smaller than the first one. The third tier obviously was the smallest one. <br />
<br />
Around each completed tier, we wrapped a length of wider ribbon to keep the layers intact and also hide any yarn which would show. <br />
<br />
We inserted baby pink and sky blue colored ribbons into the wide ribbon. We decorated the cake with little cute baby stuff like bibs, little booties, colorful socks, teething ring, rattle and other such things. <br />
<br />
You can use your own diaper cake idea and decorate the cake with baby stuff which you like. Our diaper cake was incomplete with the ‘topping’. So we kept a little cute pink teddy on the top of the cake. You can use either a teddy or some cute soft toy or something which you think would look attractive. <br />
<br />
While latching onto the diaper cake idea, just remember the basics: secure the paper towel roll or tube against the middle of the cake with the base first and then go up the tiers. We had a roaring time at the party and we owe it to the hit team of our friends for making and executing such a brilliant diaper cake idea! </div>

A diaper cake is a cake where each tier is assembled from what looks like diapers rolled into a cylinder and stuck together.<br />
<br />
Each tier has a number of diapers that form a circle to make the tier. Deciding how many people the cake needs to serve will determine the size of the cake. Generally the bottom tier is thirty diapers the middle tier is about half that about fifteen and the top tier is five or six. <br />
<br />
A diaper offers the perfect cake to decorate to suit the individual party, it can be decorated with baby items that are special for the mother to be. I know of one occasion when a pregnant lady who had a thing for spag bol when she was pregnant asked me to make a cake with a plate of spag bol on the cake. The spaghetti was made from rolled fondant icing and the bolognaise sauce was very small pieces of chocolate and the sauce was a fairly runny butter cream. <br />
<br />
A little extreme but this is an occasion when you can get away with whimsical gestures. Sugarcraft has some edible designs that can be used to decorate the cake.My choice for making a diaper cake would depend on how much time and notice you have. <br />
<br />
A perfect choice is a Calabrian Christmas cake, in fact both choices of cakes are Italian recipes, but the Calabrian fruit cake needs to be prepared weeks in advance. If you have the time it is an excellent flavorsome choice that will be talked about for a long time. My second choice for cake would be a chocolate genoise sponge or a roulade. <br />
<br />
A genoise sponge originated in the Italian city of Genoa and it is a light airy sponge It differs from the regular sponge mixture in the respect that the butter is added in a liquid state, this is fairly common in Italian recipes. It is meted to prevent it from being too heavy and knocking the air out of the batter. Always use eggs at room temperature never cold, as they need to incorporate the maximum air for maximum volume.<br />

This unusual Christmas cake, made from yeast dough and filled with nuts, raisins, spices, and honey, has many names, ranging from pittenguise to dolce antica. It is perfect for a diaper cake as it is made as several small cakes rolled up and ready to be a diaper. However it needs two months to mature. <br />
<br />
Start with all the ingredients at room temperature. <br />
<br />
<b>Dough</b><br />
<br />
4 large eggs<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt <br />
1/2 cup white wine <br />
1/2 cup vegetable oil <br />
1/2 cup sugar <br />
1 teaspoon active dry yeast <br />
5 to 6 cups unbleached all-purpose flour<br />
<br />
<b>Filling</b><br />
<br />
4 1/2 cups plump raisins<br />
3 1/2 cups walnut pieces<br />
2 cups honey (use a specialty honey for a more delicate flavor)<br />
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon <br />
1 teaspoon ground cloves <br />
About 2 tablespoons vegetable oil<br />
4 to 5 tablespoons sugar <br />
Parchment paper</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, salt, wine, oil, sugar, and yeast. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes, in a warm place. Add the flour 1 cup at a time, mixing with your hands until a soft ball of dough is formed. Knead the dough on a floured surface until it is smooth and no longer sticky, adding flour as it becomes necessary. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.<br />
<br />
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix together the raisins, walnuts, 1 cup of the honey, cinnamon, and cloves. Set aside. Punch down the dough and knead it for a few minutes on a floured surface. Take a piece of dough the size of a medium orange and roll it out on a floured surface, into a 9-inch circle. Place the circle on one of the cookie sheets and brush the dough lightly with vegetable oil. Sprinkle evenly with 1 tablespoon of the sugar.<br />
<br />
Take a second piece of dough the size of a large orange and roll it into a 20 by 8-inch rectangle. Cut the rectangle crosswise into eight 2 1/2-inch-wide strips. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture evenly down the center of each strip. Starting at a short end, roll each strip up tightly like a jelly roll. Place them close together on top of the circle of dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the outside edge of the circle. Brush the outside edge of the circle with water. Bring the edge of the circle up around the rolled strips, and tie the cake loosely with string. <br />
<br />
Continue with the remaining dough to make 3 or 4 more cakes. Cover and let the cakes rise for 4 hours, or overnight, in a warm place. There will only be a small increase in the bulk of the dough. Preheat the oven to 275 F. Brush each cake with a little vegetable oil, and drizzle 2 tablespoons of the remaining honey over the top of each cake. Bake the cakes for about 45 minutes, or until they are light golden in color. As they bake, baste the cakes occasionally with any of the drippings.<br />
<br />
Remove the cakes immediately to a cooling rack set on a piece of wax paper under it. Cool completely. Wrap each cake in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil, and store in airtight tins. After about a week, turn the cake tins upside down, then reverse the cakes again to distribute the honey collected on the bottom of the tins.To bake and assemble the diaper cake:Make the Calabrian cake two months before it is required. Assemble the diapers on a cake board and tie with a ribbon, or a small blanket and a diaper pin. To assemble the second tier stick the cakes upright as diapers with a little royal icing.<br />
<br />
Stack the third tier in the same way Decorate the cake with babies comforters’ small bottles or whatever theme you have decided on.If you have not got the time to make the above cake make as many genoise sponges as necessary in a jelly roll cake tin. Cut the cakes into a quarter or fifths long-ways and roll up the diapers with your favorite frosting recipe. Assemble the cake as above and decorate to you theme.<br />

<br />With a lot of people in my family with diabetes, it can be hard to come up with ideas for a cake that tastes good and has little or no sugar.<br />
<br />This can sometimes make gatherings difficult. If you look around and try different recipes, you will find one that you like. This recipe is easy but requires either a hand mixer or a stand mixer. <br />
<br />The prep time is only 10 minutes and cook time is 30 minutes. You can have this cake cooking while getting dinner ready and it should be cooled enough to eat after dinner.<br />
<br /> For the sugar substitute you can use any substitute you like. This chocolate cake only has 164.9 calories, 22.4g of carbs and a total fat of 8.8g. <br /><br />This is a very good cake for someone’s birthday or just a family get together. The best thing about this cake is that most of the ingredients you already have on hand.<br /><br /> If you can find some sugar free icing, decorating this cake would be easy. Just ice the top, you might even find some sugar free candy decorations to put on. <br />

<br /> Designer wedding cakes are very popular at weddings and they do not have to be that hard to create or that expensive if you know the secrets. <br />

Fortunately throughout the years I have had the opportunity to see plenty of pictures of cakes that would make any bride smile. I would love to share the tips I have learned about unusual wedding cakes with you! One of the first tips I like to share about successful cakes, regardless of whether we’re talking about bridal shower cakes or a birthday cake design is that you must first start with a good recipe. If the cake recipe isn’t any good, it won’t matter how beautiful the design is.<br />
<br />
Homemade cake recipes are always the best, but there are also some very good package mixes available too. If you are planning to make the cake yourself, be sure to test it first. If you are considering purchasing it from a bakery, ask for a taste test. Most bakeries are happy to oblige!<br />
<br />
When selecting designs, be sure to look at enough cake pictures to get a good idea of how you want your cake to look. I often find inspiration for baby shower cake designs and designer wedding cakes in some of my favorite cake design books. Even square wedding cake pictures look unique when you combine the right touch of embellishments and a gorgeous cake topper. Square cakes have actually become quite popular. Even if you are planning to elope or have a small ceremony, you can still have a beautiful wedding cake.<br />
<br />
A few years ago, two of my closest friends, surprised everyone when they eloped to Las Vegas. It was quite romantic and it certainly surprised everyone. The bride wore a gorgeous dress in the wedding chapel they chose and she confided later that she spent quite a bit of time looking at Las Vegas wedding cakes before choosing one. <br />She shared with me pictures of the cake she eventually chose and I honestly couldn’t see any difference between it and many designer wedding cakes. <br />
<br />Coming up with ideas for unique designer wedding cakes isn’t really any harder than coming up with ideas for unique birthday cakes. You just need to think out of the box a little.<br />
<br /> Think about some of the birthday cakes delivered you have seen. What set them apart? The most unique birthday cake delivery I have ever seen combined fun and whimsy. <br />
<br />Designer wedding cakes can be both fun and elegant with a little imagination. </div>

<br />In case you do not find a customized pan, you can take a simple image from a coloring book and transfer it onto the cake for better results.The primary colors for this unique fun cake design will be black and grey. <br />You can substitute the black with dark chocolate frosting or use black color with normal chocolate to bring the perfect match.</div>

If you are using Butter cream, the transfer can be done easily.<br /> Allow sufficient time for the outline, layering and filling of the cake so it does not turn into a complete mess.

<i><b><br /> Decorating wedding cupcakes with buttercream</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<b>What you need</b><br />
<br />
<b>Cake goods:</b><br />
<br />
· your favorite sponge cakes<br />
<br />
· buttercream<br />
<br />
· sugar flowers<br />
<br />
<b>Tools:</b><br />
<br />
· food safe brush<br />
<br />
· icing bag<br />
<br />
<b>Finishing touches:</b><br />
<br />
· white ladycut wrappers<br />
<br />
<b>Tips</b><br />
<br />
· The recipe for the cupcakes should be one that you have already tried, ideally a simple sponge cake with butter, flour and eggs with vanilla flavoring.<br />
<br />
· Once the cupcakes are out of the oven, you can add the vanilla flavor by brushing them with vanilla syrup.<br />
<br />
· The best cupcakes have a nice dome on the top.<br />
<br />
· The white sugar flowers can also be used later: once the cupcakes are displayed you can just scatter them all over.</div>

Making the wedding cupcake buttercream decorations</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 1: Using an icing tool add the buttercream to the cupcakes. You should start at the center of the cupcake, squeezing out just a bit of buttercream. Then you just have to go around, squeezing as you do, creating a nice spiral going upwards.<br />
<br />
Step 2: Once this is done you can simply stick the white sugar flowers into the buttercream topping, two or three for one cupcake.<br />
<br />
Step 3: To finish the decorating you should use some ladycut wrappers, which look like white lace made of paper. These can be found in any cake decorating shop or online cake supplies stores. Wrap a white ladycut wrapper gently around the cupcake and secure it.<br />
<br />
Step 4: Add little centers to the flowers made of buttercream with the icing tool.</div>

Decorating wedding cupcakes with fondant</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i> </i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>What you need</b></i><br />
<br />
<b>Cake goods</b><br />
<br />
· your favorite cupcakes<br />
<br />
· white fondant, green fondant, yellow fondant and silver fondant<br />
<br />
<b>Tools:</b><br />
<br />
· different sized metal round cutters<br />
<br />
· plastic texture<br />
<br />
· letter cutters<br />
<br />
· roller<br />
<br />
<b>Version 1</b><br />
<br />
Step 1: Flatten the white fondant. Using a cutter that is approx. the same size as the size of the cupcake cut a round shape from white colored fondant.<br />
<br />
Step 2: Place the white fondant on the top of the cupcake.<br />
<br />
Step 3: Using a smaller cutter cut another piece of fondant, from another color (for example silver which fits to an elegant wedding).<br />
<br />
Step 4: Before you put this onto the top of the other fondant press it into a texture paper to give it some lovely texture.<br />
<br />
Step 5: Cut out letters from the fondant (in contrasting color with the previous round piece) and place it one top of the cupcake.<br />
<br />
<b>Version 2</b><br />
<br />
Step 1: Cut a round shape of white fondant from a flattened piece.<br />
<br />
Step 2: To make flowers roll out some fondant making a long thin strip, roll up this strip creating a spiral and squeeze one of the ends of the spiral to give it an elongated shape.<br />
<br />
Step 3: For another type of flower make a ball and from that a cone, then take out the middle part with a spoon or another tool so it is hollow inside. Place a yellow thin strip of fondant in the hollow part of the cone to make it look like a lily.<br />
<br />
Step 4: Add green leaves around the flowers made of fondant.<br />

Arrange Cupcake with a Help of Cupcake Tower<br />
<br />
There are few things that can rival the elegance of dozens of beautifully decorated cupcakes, artfully organized on a cupcake towers.<br />
<br />
They can be made of plastic, metal, wood or cardboard. The ones I have seen ranged from three to seven tiers. You can also use ordinary cake tiers in graduated sizes to create exquisite wedding cupcake tower.<br />
<br />
Using cake tiers to display your cupcakes allows you to have as many tiers as you choose. However if you make them too high, there is a risk of the tower tumbling over and destroying all of your hard work. If you need a huge number of cup cakes it would be wiser to use more than one tower.<br />
<br />
Cupcake decorating must be carefully done when you will be displaying them on a tower, especially if it is for a formal affair like a wedding, shower, or other big event.<br />
<br />
Choose your cupcake decoration theme to match the colors and or theme of a wedding. You could also use school colors for a class reunion or a sports award dinner.<br />
<br />
Try creating your own cupcake design. Scan a picture that your child has drawn and use it as a guide when decorating cupcakes for his birthday party.<br />
<br />
Cupcakes are “in” right now. Bakeries that specialize in cupcakes are springing up all over the U.S. One has allowed their bakery, cupcake Magnolia, recipe to be posted on the internet.<br />
<br />
One cupcake cute idea is to write the name or initials of all the children attending your daughter’s birthday celebration, on the cup cakes.<br />
<br />
You can also use free clip art, cupcake designs to come up with cupcakes that are unique and elegant or whimsical depending on what clip art you select.<br />
<br />
Try using your favorite chocolate cupcake recipe to make a cone, cream cupcake ice. The cupcake becomes the “ice cream.” My grandson always asks me to make him a brown cupcake ice cream<br />
<br />
Another cupcake decorating idea is to insert a cupcake pick into each frosted cupcake. Picks come in a variety of holiday themes, super heroes, fashion dolls, various animals, cartoon characters, vehicles, flowers and more.<br />
<br />
Imagine a cupcake tower with your choice of cupcake flavors frosted with green icing and a cherry on top of each cupcake. This would be a wonderful centerpiece for your Christmas dessert table.<br />
<br />
A wedding cupcake design displayed on a tower can be as elegant as any traditional wedding cake or as informal as you want it to be. It all depends on how you decorate on how you decorate and display your cupcakes.<br />
<br />
You may want to have the same flavor for all your cupcakes. This is the easiest way to go. Use the best quality cupcake pan you can find. The cupcakes will bake more evenly and will be less likely to stick to the pan.<br />
<br />
If you know that your oven is not level you may want to prop up your pan so that your cupcakes are perfectly even. However a slight tilt can be filled, by either slicing the higher side or even or sometimes masked with icing.<br />
<br />
Have more than one pan if you need to bake a large number of cupcakes. It will make your job so much easier.<br />
<br />
Party stores, candle stores and even some department stores sell a candle cupcake. It would be a unique display to burn a candle, that looks like a cupcake, in the middle of the top tier of your cupcake tower. Just don’t put it too close to your real cupcakes.<br />
<br />
Once you start doing cupcakes tower designs, you will want to have pictures of all your cupcake tower creations and the atomic cupcake web site can help you display them, in unique scrapbooks.<br /><br />

<br />
Are you planning a wedding or shower? You may want to consider one of the hottest trends in wedding and shower cakes, a cupcake tower!<br />
<br />
For this you will need a cupcake stand to display your cupcakes.
Cupcake stands can have anywhere from three to seven tiers and are made of plastic, sturdy cardboard, glass or metal.
Beautifully decorated cupcakes can be arranged on these stands to resemble a traditional wedding cake.<br />
<br />
The cardboard cupcake stand is made of white corrugated cardboard covered in white paper. The top layer is often used to display a small cake to be used for the cake cutting ceremony.
Using a cupcake stand allows you to offer a variety of flavors to your guests and to accommodate a variety of tastes, food allergies or special diets.<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<iframe border="0" frameborder="0" height="336" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?t=splav&o=1&p=16&l=st1&mode=garden&search=cupcake stand&fc1=000000&lt1=_blank&lc1=3366FF&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="border: none;" width="468"></iframe></div>
<br />
The cardboard cupcake stands can be reused if you cover the discs in foil or plastic. You can also spray them with an acrylic paint to moisture proof and extend the life of your cupcake stands.
Glass, metal and plastic stands have a longer life and just need to be washed and dried between uses.<br />
<br />
A wedding cupcake stand can hold between 120 and 180 cupcakes depending on the size of the stand and the cupcakes.
Wedding cupcake stands can be decorated with flowers and ribbons to match the wedding theme and the top layer can hold a small cake.
We found a metal wedding cupcake stand that was absolutely elegant with ornamental scroll work. It has seven tiers. This is a beautiful addition to any wedding.
A cupcake party stand can be used to hold other desserts, such as pastries and cookies. It makes an attractive display for any occasion. You can even use them for foods such as finger sandwiches<br />
<br />
.
A Wilton cupcake stand is perfect for a small wedding or baby shower, it holds only 23 cupcakes. Its coiled wire cupcake holders make this cupcake tree stand appear elegant or whimsical depending on how you decorate the cupcakes. You can also use this stand for éclairs muffins and more.<br />
<br />
The tree stand folds for easy storage.
Use, instead of a traditional cake, a cupcake tiered wedding arrangement of elegant cupcakes to have a truly unique wedding cake that is also one of the latest trends in wedding cakes. Use a cupcake stand tree for a smaller wedding and the round disk type stand for a larger wedding and its larger cake needs.
You can use your favorite cake frosting recipe as cupcake icing for any event, you can imagine.
Kids love cupcakes and you can get hundreds of designs and recipes. You are bound to find a cupcake idea kid friendly design that your kids will love.
Try making your daughter’s birthday cake, cupcake kids will love. For young children decorate the cupcakes with bright primary colored cupcake frosting and decorations.<br />

One cupcake design that kids love is an ice cream cone cupcake. The cupcake is the ice cream. You will be the most popular mom in the neighborhood when you serve these treats.
Just as N.Y.C. has the Magnolia Bakery famous for its cupcakes, Portland, Oregon has the Saint Cupcake bakery. They have assigned certain cupcakes to each day of the week. So if you have a particular favorite, you will need to check what day it is served.<br />
<br />
For instance, banana chocolate chip pound cake cupcakes are served only on Tuesday and Sunday and red velvet cupcakes on Thursday and Saturday.
If you visit the Saint Cupcake web page they also have a description of all the cupcakes available. For example a “Fat Elvis” is a banana cupcake with peanut butter fudge on top.

<br />
<b>What you need<br /><br />Tools:</b><br />
<br />
icing bag or zip lock bag<br />
sticky tape<br />
scissors<br />
sharp knife<br />
decorator or cookie press<br />
<br />
<b>Bakery goods:</b><br />
<br />
a batch of your favorite cupcakes<br />
ice cream<br />
whipped cream<br />
doughnut<br />
white sugar icing<br />
green icing<br />
star shaped candy<br />
different colored candy<br />
Directions:<br />
<br />
Step 1: put some sticky tape on the corner of the icing bag or zip lock bag to reinforce it. Cut out a small V shape in the corner of the zip lock bag.<br />
<br />
Step 2: holding a sharp knife at an angle cut out the center of the cupcake. The center of the cupcake after you lift it out should look like a cone. Put this away for later, because this will be the top of the tree.<br />
<br />
Step 3: Using a cookie press decorate the sides of the cupcake with whipped cream. You can also use any kind of icing and simply use a knife to spread it on the sides of the cupcake.<br />
<br />
Step 4: Fill up the center of the cupcake. For this you can use ice cream or whipped desert cream.<br />
<br />
Step 5: Once this is done, you can start building up the Christmas tree. For this you can use a piece of doughnut as the trunk of the tree, and using icing as glue add the cone to the top. Use green icing to fill in the spaces between the doughnut ball and the cone.<br />
<br />
Step 6: Create the Christmas tree by going around the “tree” with the icing bag add the branches by squeezing the icing bag, pulling back and releasing the icing. This way the icing will have nice elongated shapes which look like branches or leaves.<br />
<br />
Step 7: Keep going around doing the previous step in an upward direction until the whole thing is covered and it looks like a Christmas tree.<br />
<br />
Step 8: To decorate the tree you can use a star shaped candy for the top and add different colored candy all over the tree.<br />
<br />
<b>Tips:</b><br />
<br />
If you cannot find a star shaped candy you can make one from fondant<br />
If you fill the center of the cupcake with ice cream, keep it in the fridge and only take it out a few minutes before serving.<br />

<br />Cookie monster cake design You need the basic ingredients of a cake but the real fun lies in the decoration and bringing the monster to life.<br /><br />You can use either blue sprinkles or blue icing for the face but you have to prepare your cake while the frosting is wet. Waiting for too long can spoil this fun cake design and make sticking of the cookie difficult. White icing is needed for the eyes of the cake.<br /><br />Once you have covered it in blue icing, you have to cut a chocolate chip cookie in half and place it like a mouth near the bottom end of the cake. The eyes will be done by white icing through decorating tips. Finally, to give a glazed and mischievous look, you can add brown chocolate frosting as the pupil. If done properly, your cookie monster fun cake design will win everyone over.<br /><br /> </div>
