When I was asked to make a feature cake and cupcakes with a sea/beach theme for a baby shower, I was pleasantly challenged. After researching all of the possibilities, I knew that I wanted to to create a show stopping display which had an authentic beachy feel about it.
The feature cake was a dark chocolate mud cake with Kahlua buttercream, and the cupcakes were rose & vanilla with white chocolate shells and sugar shards topping the vanilla buttercream.
Congratulations to the beautiful new Mama to be.

ReplyDeleteLittle Miss Cupcake, Kahlua is a coffee flavoured liqueur which I also used in the chocolate mud cake. Coffee enhances chocolate in a cake, without dominating the flavour. For the buttercream, I just added one tablespoon of Kahlua in the icing. xx
ReplyDeleteHi what is the water splash candy or how did u make it i love this idea for my sisters baby shower
ReplyDeleteHello. The water splashes are made from toffee or sugar shards. A little bit tricky as you need to get the sugar off the heat before it turns into toffee, but with a practice you should be fine. I put a tiny bit of blue food colouring in mine before spreading them out on baking paper. HOpe this helps. Anna
