12. Perhaps follow the link, I'm not sure!
It's her Flickr account, but I bet she does make them professionally. :)

15. I tried poking around there, but I didn't see anything about them being for sale.
:(

If she doesn't make them professionally, she should! She's a very gifted baker and artist, and I imagine should could make a good chunk of change selling those. She would have regular business from me, that's for sure!

16. Yeah, I just checked too, I don't see anything.
It appears she lives in Australia, too, so that would make it harder too.

11. Almost too pretty to eat.
Notice I said almost..

My son is getting to be quite the baker lately. Last week he baked a pumpkin roll and yesterday he brought over cherry chip cupcakes with Amaretto flavored icing. YUM..

17. Fucking FONDANT!!!!
Gak, I hate that shit!!! Talk about ruining a perfectly good cupcake! :puke:

I am sick to death of the trend in cake baking to use nothing but fondant for the frosting/decoration. It tastes like crap -- nothing near as good as a buttercream frosting.

Whenever I see those cakes on the Food Network challenged, I have the same response -- that is architecture/sculpture, not baking. I have never seen a fondant decorated cake or cupcake that made my mouth drool and overwhelmed me with a desire to smash it in my mouth as quickly as possible.

BUTTERCREAM RULES!

24. Oh, no question, buttercream tastes better.
Fondant tastes greasy and slightly plastic-y - buttercream is HEAVEN, especially cream cheese. :drool: But fondant sure does make pretty cupcakes! :)

20. My baker friend is going to make me wedding cupcakes
Because there will only be 5 people at my wedding. We're going to figure out designs but she did some recently with little rosebuds and bells on them.

Those are really cute. I love the PacMan.

And now I'm hungry. :9

21. I thought these would be so pretty for a wedding:


I didn't know you were getting married! Congratulations! :D My husband and I had 31 people at my wedding and we loved it - we would NEVER have done a big shindig. Good for you for keeping it small and saving yourselves the stress.
