Twilight cake & Halloween cupcakes...

ok, so i'm sure u've heard of Twilight by now...if not, please come out from under ur rock

even tho i'm clueless about the whole vampire scene, i had of course heard of these books/movies & was excited 2 finally get a cake order with a Twilight theme

the customer sent me pics of the book covers 2 use as inspiration, but pretty much gave me free reign with the design...here r the covers...

the only other request she had was 2 add a gray wolf...apparently, 1 of the characters turns in2 a gray wolf? & that character is the birthday girl's fav

so here's what i came up with...

the bottom tier is red velvet (blood red) & the top tier is pumpkin...it's all iced in my homemade butter cream icing

i made all the accessories out of fondant & gumpaste...& hand painted the detail on the wolf

it's all edible, with the exception of the apple...i carved a styrofoam ball in2 an apple shape & covered it in fondant

i also made these cute little cupcakes last nite...they're 4 a birthday girl who LOVES Halloween

they're yellow cake, iced in butter cream & decorated with Halloween sprinkles & little ghosts & ghouls i made from fondant


thx 4 looking!


*update - i just visited Cake Wrecks (1 of my very fav blogs) & found out that they have a Twilight post up 2day too...hopefully none of my cakes ever make it on that site! ;0)

Well I can't see the cupcakes, but rest arrusred NONE of your cakes would make it on to Cake Wrecks... unless you started using quotation marks :)

P.S. I've never read the Twilight books either
