Surprise Birthday Cakes and Cupcakes

This week was full of birthday surprises!

My girlfriends and I threw a surprise birthday dinner for our friend. The theme of the dinner was The Little Mermaid, so I decided to give the cupcakes an "Under The Sea" kind of feel. I made buttermilk cupcakes with buttercream icing. The coral flowers, seaweed and fishes are made out of fondant. And the sand was yellow colored sugar.

About a month ago, my friend asked me to make a ninja cake for her husband. I have been so excited to make this cake! She gave me a couple sketches and we came up with this... I hope you enjoy it! The cake was blood red velvet... hehehe.

This is definitely one of my favorite cakes!
Until next time, happy baking!
