Gumpaste/Fondant Magnolia Cake Topper

Here's the gumpaste/fondant magnolia for the top of the Charleston cupcakes for the contest. Fingers crossed!

Cupcake Challenge 2010

Coming up on November 6th, Charleston is having it's first cupcake camp. The competition is for professionals and amateurs. There are 3 catagories to compete in: Most Unique Ingredients/Overall taste, Best Charleston Themed, and Best Decorated. I think I'm entering all 3. My idea is a vanilla/pineapple cupcake (pineapple to represent our Southern hospitality) with cream cheese buttercream with a cupcake wrapper that resembles our wrought iron gates & a gumpaste magnolia to top it off. Very Charleston! Wish me luck! Photos to come soon!

So here we are!

So here we are! Welcome to the Sweet Life! I'm new to blogging, but thought what better way to share the up's and down's in the cake world?! From the cake that didn't rise to the bowl of frosting that you can't keep your kid away from. Just a girl with her pastry bag trying to make pretty, edible art. So here's to The Sweet Life!
