Cupcake Sampler

I had a potential client interested in me providing their wedding cake and cupcakes. So I baked up several different varieties for her and her fiance to try.

I made vanilla cupcakes with brown sugar buttercream,

 and pumpkin spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting,

and red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting,

and chocolate cupcakes with salted caramel buttercream,

and finally, apple spice cupcakes with salted caramel buttercream, as well as a few apple spice cupcakes with brown sugar buttercream.

They loved the cupcakes, especially the apple spice cupcakes with the salted caramel buttercream, and had to decide which ones they wanted for their wedding. Needless to say, I'm thrilled that I have the honor of making their wedding cake and cupcakes.

Strawberry Ice Cream & Red Velvet Cake with Strawberry Buttercream

This cake was inspired by Coldstone's Strawberry Passion Ice Cream Cake.

My inspiration for this cake

The strawberry buttercream and ice cream had great strawberry flavor. The buttercream was on the sweet side, but the homemade ice cream helped cut the sweetness. The red velvet cake was moist and delicious.

It was delicious for being a test try and I will definitely be making this again, though there will be some changes including the addition of graham crackers.
