Additional Pictures of Creations for L'Chaims

For directions on how to make any of these, please comment below and I will be more than happy to explain.

Bride & Groom Cupcakes

My sister recently got engaged and for her l'chaim I made bride and groom cupcakes along with other decorated cupcakes and cake pops.  These were such a hit and they were so easy to make!

Bride and Groom Cupcakes

1 recipe of cupcakes (I used a Duncan Hines mix) - flavor of choice

1 container vanilla frosting

1 container chocolate frosting

food coloring (a four pack should have red, yellow, green and blue)

edible pearls

1. Make cupcakes according to direction
2. Let cupcakes cool
3. Spoon about 1/4 of the container of vanilla frosting into a bowl and add 1 drop red food coloring and 2 drops yellow food coloring in order to get a skin color (some playing around with the amounts may be necessary depending on how much frosting you spooned out and what color you are looking for)
4. Spoon about 1/3 of the container of chocolate frosting into a bowl and add about 3 drops of blue food  coloring and 3 drops green food coloring (you are looking for a charcoal gray or black color)
5. Spread the skin color vanilla frosting on half the cupcakes and the charcoal gray/black chocolate frosting on the other half of the cupcakes
6. Allow the frosting to harden a bit - this can be hastened by placing the cupcakes into the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes
7. Using a piping bag or a ziploc bag with a small hole at one corner filled with vanilla frosting draw a heart shaped neckline on the bride cupcakes.  Then fill the "dress" with vanilla frosting.  I used a piping bag with a bigger hole and then using a knife I spread the frosting to be even.
8. Using the same piping bag as used when making the outline of the dress, make a triangle on the groom cupcakes.  Then fill in the triangle using the same method as filling in the bride's dress
9. Using a piping bag or ziploc bag with a small hole at one corner filled with the charcoal gray/black chocolate frosting draw 2 small triangles with a dot between the too by the top of the vanilla triangle creating a bow tie.  Then draw three "buttons" down the vanilla triangle or the "shirt"
10. Add a necklace to the bride cupcakes by placing edible pearls in a "necklace" arrangement on the top of the cupcake
11. Place the cupcakes in the refrigerator or leave them open overnight in order to harden the frosting and reduce the chance for them to be smudged in transition.

ENJOY!
