Wilton Ultimate 3 in 1 caddy!

I just recently bought this Wilton Ultimate 3 in 1 caddy, I absolutely love this. It comes with a cupcake tray that holds 12 large cupcakes or 24 mini cupcakes or one 9 x 13 cake with plenty of space for large decorations on top of your cupcakes or cakes. They also stack on top of each other which comes in handy. I bought this at Micheals craft store for 24.99(can) you can also purchase this on amazon, ebay or directly from Wilton.com .

Strawberry Dream Icing

This icing is what sweet dreams are made of....this is my most requested topping for a vanilla cupcake. Its so smooth and airy it just compliments the taste of a plain jane cupcake that tends to be a little to sweet for alot of people. So here it is.....

Ingredient's:
2 Cups whipping cream
4-5 Tbsp pureed strawberries
0.5-1 Cup icing sugar
Stabilizer if needing to sit out for awhile I prefer Whip It by Dr.Oetker

Directions:
1. Whip cream (add stabilizer now)on medium high slowly adding in icing sugar scraping sides and bottom occasionally until stiff peaks form.

2. Mix in strawberries and enjoy.

Baby shower Cupcakes

I baked these cupcakes for a good friends baby shower....

The baby girls room is pink and chocolate brown theme so I baked 24 medium sized pink and 24 medium chocolate. I used basic flavors, for the pink I made a plain white cake with strawberry dream icing(made from whipped cream)which also had inside the cupcake as a filling, and for the brown I made a Devils Food cake with white chocolate filling topped with chocolate mousse icing, white chocolate glaze and skor bits. Even though Vanilla was the most requested at the end of the day chocolate was almost all gone. :)

       This is where I learned how to make my Cupcake Bouquet. This is one of the best You- Tube video's that I could find at the time.
