Cupcakes for Itzel

These accompanied the cake.  The celebration is for the Mommy and not for the yet to be born baby (Ivana).  I wanted to do something for the baby so I make these as a small gift.  The cake was vanilla, filled with pineapple cream, and topped with Mousseline buttercream.

Baby Shower for Itzel

Carrot cake, all three layers, filled with Pineapple cream.  Two layers are covered in chocolate fondant and the center layer in regular fondant.  This cake kept me up at night.  I had to flip the bottom layer with the 8" diameter on the bottom and the 10" at the top.  I didn't know if the carrot cake would withstand the pressure.  Happily there were no problems.
