Cupcake Project

Hello Angels

Yes, this post is not about make up or cosmetics but my ultimate weakness - Baking!

My beloved cousin is pregnant and we decided to throw her a surprise baby shower this weekend. My task was to bake cupcakes. Hardly a task cause i love baking and cooking. Though i hardly get time for both due to my hectic work schedule. 

So today morning, i put on my baking apron and got to work. The color combination was obvious being baby shower. I baked double chocolate fudge cake and added baby blue and pink frosting to it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the day with cakes, pastries and family. The unexpected twist of course was me being crowned the next 'Mommy To Be'!! Yes, as a custom in our family we draw lots at the end of the party and choose the next couple to deliver the 'Good News'. A fun family custom (of course i am not taking it seriously!)

Hope you guys rock the weekend. Tell me if you like my cupcakes. Pics including a few baking videos are posted to Instagram. check them out

My Very Own Chanel Cupcakes

Hellloo Lovelies..

I might be saying this quite often now, but am super duper excited for this blog post. a) because this is my 100th blog post b) I feel extremely happy about my baking skills now.

Don't we all LOVE cupcakes?? I do. Especially those gorgeous decorated ones. They are a bundle of joy to me. Always brings a smile without fail. I aww at the creativity and skill used to design them, which eventually led me into thinking why not acquire the skill myself??!!

So here goes...All i had to learn was to make a fondant decor. Google and You tube came in handy as always and helped me with the basics. Baking a cupcake is easy, and making a decor for it is even simpler once you get a hang of it. Since am a makeup plus handbag junky, i took my inspiration from my weakness! Sounds weird!! :) ♥

Someday i may own a Chanel Bag. Til then i can just create my own mini edible ones. What say?? 

I baked 3 Chanel Themed cupcakes

♥ A Classic Chanel Bag

♥ A Chanel Box

♥ A Lipstick

Its a chocolate cupcake with vanilla icing. For the decor i used white fondant. My store was out of black fondant unfortunately. But i manged to get hold of some coloring and painted them black!!

They turned out pretty good looking for a first timer. Woop Woop!! I was left with 2 extra cupcakes which i topped with Blue icing.

 Finally packed them away in beautiful Blue boxes. Set to be delivered to 3 of my Make up/ Chanel crazy friends! ♥ How did you like my firsthand at fondant decor? Would you like to see more designs?

Have a great weekend angels♥
