Simple Can Be Great!

I posted the wedding cake I did for my sister-in-law and it was a simple which I felt it still looked great. I find that with wedding cakes that can be key.

There is a growing trend in weddings where people are using cupcakes instead of large wedding cakes. I had done this for my sister's wedding.

I used a Wilton No. 21 Open Star Decorating Tip. I started from the outside edge of the cupcake and rotated the cupcake toward the middle with white buttercream frosting. I also had 2 Cupcakes 'N More® 38 Count Large Dessert Stands to display them. There are many other ways to display them too.

Here are a few examples I found on other blogs...

Hope this helps! Simple can equal ELEGANT!

The Infamous Dexter Cake

I hope I don't get flamed for saying this, but I have not seen the TV show Dexter.  I know about it and I'm definately interested in it, but I have yet to watch a full episode.  I find the Dexter cake trend to be one of my favorites!  It can be done by most people and they can be some pretty amazing & slightly shocking cakes, hehe.

This is one I made for my lovely cousin:

I did a basic round, simply decorated cake, then stabbed it with a knife then dripped red gel frosting from the cut and splattered some of it across the cake to simulate bleeding from a brutal stabbing. 

Another tip I have is about the cake flavor.  I think red velvet is perfect, because it is delicious and the deep red adds to the theactrics of the cake as a whole. 

I hope this helps you on your Dexter cake adventures! >:)
