The design for these began when someone asked for a tractor cupcake cake. She wanted a red tractor, resembling an International tractor. I thought about it and thought individual cupcakes with tractors would be fun. So I came up with these designs. First, I did some research and drew up two different templates. I then [...]
Sharks! Theses were a request from someone who was looking for something different for her son’s birthday. I wasn’t quiet sure how this shark cupcake idea would work out, but I’m very happy with the results. I started out by frosting the cupcakes with light blue frosting and adding white details for sea foam. I [...]
I’m always looking for new animal designs to put on cupcakes, so I really enjoyed making these lizards! Since lizards can change their colors I had an excuse to make these as colorful as I wanted! I first made a heavy glaze and dipped the tops of the cupcakes in it to produce a smooth [...]
This cake was made for a friend who loves turtles and bright colors. I had previously made the Spring Frog Cake for her and I wanted to continue that theme. To make this cake a little different I decided to use a square shape. I used yellow cake and put a strawberry filling between layers. [...]
Football cupcakes in honor of the Super Bowl! I made yellow and chocolate cupcakes and decorated with buttercream frosting. I used a large sized grass tip to pipe grass all over the top of the cupcake. Next, I used a #8 round tip to pipe a football on top of the grass. I then outlined [...]
Dinosaur cupcakes, all dressed up for Valentine’s Day! These dinosaurs are the same as in my previous dragon cupcake post, only with hearts added instead of wings.

Two of my favorite cold weather animals, polar bears and penguins! The cake was first frosted with blue buttercream and then drizzled with white glaze around the sides. I added a ‘e’ shell border with white buttercream to give the cake a more finished look. Before adding the polar bear and penguin I sprinkled on [...]
‘Tis the season! Time to start decorating the house, and cakes, for the holidays! To make this CupCake I arranged twelve cupcakes in the shape of a Christmas tree. To give the tree ‘pine needles’ I used a #22 star tip and worked from the bottom row up to give it a layered look. Next, [...]
A CupCake turkey for Thanksgiving! This pull-apart cupcake is made with twelve cupcakes, both chocolate and yellow. The cupcakes are ‘glued’ to the cake board with frosting to keep them from moving. First, the feathers are formed by using a large rose tip. Next, the body, head, and wings of the turkey are added with [...]
My favorite of the ‘gourmet’ series. I love strawberries! And pocky. Why not put them both together on a cupcake? First, I mixed up a strawberry cake mix and made the cupcakes. After the cupcakes cooled I piped on some strawberry flavored whipped topping with a #22 star tip. Next, I carefully sliced some strawberries [...]
