As seen in this article on the Woman's Day, here are some of the most incredibly decorated, iced or frosted cupcakes you will ever see. Some fantastic ideas for birthdays and other parties.
Also made by cupcake-maker extraordinaire Naomi, as part of her video game–themed collection (check out her Pac-Man batch), these vanilla cupcakes would have anyone grabbing for their game controller. The fondant-made toppers are representations of Mario, Princess Peach, a 1-Up Mushroom, a Piranha Plant, a Power-Up Mushroom, Invincibility Stars, Mario Coins and cute clouds—all elements of the Nintendo game’s world.
Pink Cake Box, founded by Anne Heap, is a pastry business based out of Whippany, New Jersey, that specializes in all things sweet. These pool hall-appropriate cupcakes were made for a client’s 50th birthday and are an exact cake replica of his own pool balls and cue stick. The cupcakes were made with a mix of chocolate and vanilla batter, topped with white frosting and then decorated with red, orange, yellow, blue, purple and black fondant to illustrate the solid and striped balls of the game.
New Zealand–based Flickr user Nick D created this Sesame Street character cupcake with the help of his girlfriend. Inspired by a Cookie Monster cupcake cake they saw on the blog Cake Wrecks, the two used vanilla cupcakes, blue icing and blue-dyed desiccated coconut for their creation. The eyes are made from two types of chocolate and a slit was cut into the top of the cupcake so a store-bought chocolate chip cookie could be placed inside.
Shiver me timbers! Stephanie Batemen took her concept cue from Flickr user Swissy Missy, who is credited in the baking community for setting sail the pirate cupcake trend. Bateman cut out circles of skin-colored fondant to create the faces, and used half-circles of both red and pink fondant to create the bandannas. For the finishing touches, like the spots and stripes (and scars and stubble), Bateman used black fondant and an edible food marker as well as a decorative confectionery to create the earrings.
Danielle Bilton, a “culinary explorer,” and Nick Bilton, Design Integration Editor and User Interface Specialist at The New York Times, created this batch of edible iPhone app icons. Taking first place in the Cupcake Decorating Championship hosted by Ignite NYC II in September 2008, the mini-cupcakes are made of chocolate cake, grey buttercream frosting and fondant for the decorations.
