The last time I made camo cupcakes I used fondant toppers, and so since I tried out the camo icing technique in the AK 47 cake I figured it should work just as well on cupcakes. It did take some time getting all the colors to look random though.
Half of the order had the gun silhouette added to them.

Cars 2
This was such a fantastic turnout. The inspiration for this cake was a three tier version, and they needed less cake but wanted the general design to be similar. Also the original had much more fondant on it and my client wanted mostly buttercream. So I kept the fondant to only the accents and of course she provided the cars for the road.
I am just so pleased with how it turned out!

Shaun the Sheep
I have not actually watched the cartoon with this sweet character in it, but I know a certain little Princess who is wild over Shaun the Sheep. One of these days I will have to watch the kid's show and see why she loves him so.

AK 47 on Camo
A friend's son is quite the gun enthusiast and he specifically asked for an AK 47 on his cake. We had thought of making a 3D cake but quickly realized that there wouldn't really be all that much cake for people to eat once it was carved. So we opted to keep it a little more simple.
It was an interesting experiment to turn the background into camouflage. That icing job was good practice for some upcoming cupcakes which still need to be posted.

Breaking Dawn honeymoon bed
I have a regular customer who is a huge Twilight fan. She has been planning her own cake for months. She wanted it to represent a scene from the newest movie which hasn't even hit the theaters yet.
It's a good thing that I have read the books as well so that I knew exactly what she was talking about when she described the bed in Bella and Edward's room.
It did help that there were many trailers available to watch online.

Bon Voyage!
I was given free reign on the design of this cake except for the message. It was for a going away party, and the only suggestion was for a whimsical design.
I had seen a Wilton student of mine use this idea on a class cake recently and I really wanted to give the scrolls some practice. I still feel like I am trying too hard, but in time they will get easier for me to do seamlessly with little effort. For now I am happy with how this one turned out.
