yellow

checkerboard
Color butter cream white. Spread
the top of each cake evenly with
the butter cream. Remove orange
fondant sections from Licorice
Allsorts, cut each section into four
squares. Make a checkerboard
pattern on the cakes with the
fondant squares.
dotty
Color butter cream orange. Spread
the top of each cake evenly with
the butter cream. Position orange
Smarties and orange mini M&M’s
on each cake.

fruity stripes
Spread the top of each cake
evenly with butter cream. Halve
yellow and orange soft fruit sticks
crossways. Trim the ends of the
fruit sticks to fit neatly on the top
of each cake.
spirals
Color butter cream yellow. Spread
the top of each cake evenly with
the butter cream. Make spirals,
starting from the center of the cake,
using different sized yellow candies–
we used Rainbow Chips, then mini
M&M’s, then Smarties to create
the spiral.
53
make a wish
Split white mini marshmallows in half
horizontally. Color glacé icing blue.
Working with one cake at a time, spread
the top of each cake evenly with the glacé
icing. Position five mini marshmallow
halves for petals and a blue dragée in the
center, before the icing has set. Half-fill a
small piping bag (without a tip) with royal
icing, pipe the stems on the cakes after
the icing has set.
glamour masks
Color butter cream blue. Spread the top of each cake evenly
with the butter cream. Make a mask shape on each cake using
silver and blue dragées in a single layer. Push each dragée
gently into the butter cream. Use sticks cut from lollipops for
the handles of the masks. Use small pieces of ribbon and sugar
flowers to cover and decorate the top of the handles.
dragonfly
Spread the top of each
cake with a thick layer
of chocolate butter cream.
Make the dragonfly
bodies using about four
white chocolate chips
each. Cut chocolate
nonpareils into quarters,
position two quarters
on each cake for wings.
Use pieces of shredded
coconut for antennae.
mochaflies
Spread the top of each cake evenly with
mocha butter cream. Cut thin strips, about
1½ inches long, from licorice strips, position
on cakes to make bodies and antennae of
mochaflies. Cut milk- and dark-chocolate-
coated coffee beans in half crosswise,
position, cut-side up, for wings.
decorations 35

Simple, witty, unique–it’s the decoration that transforms

a frosted cupcake into a show stopper. We used
chocolates and candies in all shapes and sizes, sugared
flowers, candles, patterned powder and colored paper 34
cases, to create our individual little cakes.
