I really thought I was making adorable little pink furry bears for a cute baby named Kiana's 1st birthday... but I think I ended up making a lion/bear hybrid! Nonetheless I had a real blast making specialty bear (lion?) Coco Cake Vanilla cupcakes, frosted with vanilla buttercream and fondant, -- and a CRAZY CAKE for cute Kiana! I hope I get to make more animal cupcakes soon cause I was dying of cuteness overload each time I iced one of the little bear's faces... they all have slightly different expressions!!
For the birthday cake, I made it into a giant faced pink party bear with a funny little smirk, and I baked two circle cut sugar cookies for ears. I also made fondant parts for the face, and used white chocolate wafers for the ears and part of the eyeballs! I had been practicing my fondant roses the other day too so I put one pretty little rose and two bright green leaves in my bear cake's hair. Super Kawaii!!
I truly enjoyed doing this birthday and I can't wait to make more animal face cupcakes and cakes!
Yay for cuteness...
UPDATE: I have since been featured on the cupcake mega-blog Cupcakes Take The Cake!
In the cupcake world, that's like hearing your song on the radio!!! Too awesome! Thanks CTTC gals for featuring little old me!!!

ReplyDeletewow!!! you are really amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
That is so amazing!!!! The lion aspect would be perfect for March too, "in like a lion" and all that. I love these!
ReplyDeleteyahoo!! thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteI checked your link from the chocolatenerd.com. Yeah it looks like a cuddly bear but then the nose definitely belong to a lion. I'm sure the party kids would love them because they are so adorable! Maybe it would be better if it is colored orange somehow.
