Some cupcake orders my wife made from this past mothers day weekend.

i bake for fun as a lil hobby but my friend of almost 18 years asked me to make her some gender reveal cupcakes and i was excited to do it 😌

EDIT:
it’s the side profile of the babies head! the two black dots aren’t eyes 😭

Recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction. They were tasty! The American buttercream is just so sweet…. I’m wondering if next time I should try them with Italian meringue buttercream. Would that be good with freeze dried strawberries to flavor it?

This is a total of 54 cupcakes 2 1/2 dozen carrot cake , and two dozen red velvet cupcakes ❤️ 🥕 🧁

Hello everyone! I just finished my final for Baking fundamentals class. I had posted on here almost a month ago asking about how these sound if made, and you all turned up some good feedback. In light of said feedback, I give you my Piece de resistance. A Gingerbread cupcake filled with a silky caramel pecan sauce, with a fortified whipped cream frosting, and garnished with graham cracker crumbs and toasted almonds! I hope your eyes are as hungry as mine was when making these beauties. (Note that the back middle was not garnished with toasted pecans or filled for a judge with dietary restrictions)

Made some cupcakes for my mom and some coworkers since I’ve been itching to get better at decorating 😊

Succulent cupcake order my wife made today for a customer.

chocolate cupcakes with russian buttercream:) first time doing designs like this, i think they turned out super cute !!

As title says, these are brown butter carrot cake cupcakes I made for my mom for Mother’s Day. I love to bake but have always despised icing cakes as I’m not very good at it. So on my 2026 vision board I put that I would master cake decorating/icing; these are obviously cupcakes but it’s a good place to start! I’m super proud of myself and also want to give thanks as I scoured through this subreddit for hours taking down important information and looking for design inspo. I found out cream cheese frosting is not good to pipe with from this subreddit, I had no idea. I initially got frustrated because I selfishly wanted to practice my piping skills, my mom’s favorite flavor is carrot cake, carrot goes with cream cheese frosting…but cream cheese frosting is not good for piping 😂. Of course I wasn’t the first person to have this problem, sugarologie’s frosting worked as well as it said it would, I followed instructions to a T. One note is, while I did feel it’s very good for piping, it melted in the piping bag as I was going, which meant I had to ice quickly, or in batches. I successfully iced these 6 and then somehow colossally screwed up the rest of the icing by leaving it out too long (at that point, taking the icing out of the bags, re refrigerating and re whipping would’ve taken too long and I kind of gave up. If I hadn’t done research here I would’ve done normal cream cheese and the piping would’ve been a nightmare
