English Garden Cupcakes

This was an order for a lady who loves flowers and all things botanical, so I came up with this design. Vanilla cupcakes with rosewater infused buttercream, with buttercream roses and flowers.

Rainbow cupcakes

This is one of our trademark Kupkakeinator cupcakes, and we get asked for them a lot!

Here is a closeup picture of the cupcakes, so you can see what they look like more clearly:




No trickery, no fake coloured paper cakes - our cakes are actually made from rainbows! ;)

Great for kids parties.... or big kids parties! Prices for our regular buttercream cupcakes start at £1, rainbow at £1.25 and fondant at £2 per cupcake.

Birthday Cupcakes

This was an order for 24 cupcakes, 12 rainbow and 12 chocolate, with fondant topper message "Happy Birthday Ant!".

We get several orders like this a week at Kupkakeinator, for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and sometimes just for a treat! We can make the flavours and designs to suit you and your event!

Here is a pic of the finished order:

"Anti-matter" Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes for an order after being inspired by the amazing colours from the explosion of anti-matter in Angels and Demons.... Do they remind you of that too? The cupcakes themselves are rainbow, and the frosting is vanilla.

Here they are:

This simple, elegant yet beautiful design is very popular for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and more! We can incorporate any colours you want into this design, and add toppers such as a message, or numbers on the top to make them extra-special.

Street Fighter Retro Cake






Another retro gaming cake..... yay!

This cake was for a gamer who competes nationally and internationally on a regular basis, so the stakes were high! We created a vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream covering - no fondant or royal icing at all - the design is all done by hand.

Here are some pictures:



Looks great doesn't it? Very happy with this cake, as was our gamer.

Retro Sega Cake

Time to update on some of our retro cakes.... this one is a SEGA cake for a retro game addict. Vanilla cake, dyed blue, covered in buttercream and fondant, and "SEGA" piped on in royal icing and covered in blue glitter.

Here is a pic of the cake:


The birthday gamer loved the cake, so all was well!

Tartan Cake

An unusual cake was requested recently, a birthday cake made to look like the famous Douglas clan tartan. As making cake look like something else is our speciality at Kupkakeinator, we couldn't wait to get started on this special joint birthday cake.

The cake was made from sticky ginger cake, with lemon buttercream and decorated solely in buttercream. This is a great option for those who don't like marzipan or fondant.

Here is a shot of the finished cake:


The cake got the seal of approval from the Douglases, what a relief!

Dedication bible cake

This cake was for a dedication or christening cake for four children. Mum and Dad chose vanilla sponge with vanilla buttercream, covered in fondant and decorated with the children's names. The sides of the cake were dusted with real gold dust to make the cake look like an open bible.

Here is a shot of the side of the cake:



And one of the top:



The dedication was a great success, and everyone loved the cake! All the best to your futures to Josh, Emily, Julia and Christian from all your family and friends.

Whimsical slice of cake

This has to be one of my all time favourite cakes that we have done. Inspired by whimsical topsy turvy madness, we made this slice of cake - chocolate cake with chocolate ganache covered and decorated in fondant. Everything on this cake is edible!

Here is a photo of the cake:


Isnt it cute? I love the little cherry, and the "dripping" sauce down the side. Absolutely perfect as a ladies gift to a friend, or a little present to yourself.

Giant Cupcake Birthday Cake

Hello Kupakeinator fans!

Mr and Mrs Williams ordered their wedding cupcake tower from us, and I am delighted to say they returned for Mr Williams' birthday cake.

The surprise cake was a similar design to the cutting cake they had at the wedding, carrot cake, fondant decoration and buttercream topping.

Here is a photo of the finished cake:


We love this design, so cute, so vintage and so yummy!

Sugar Rose wedding cake

Its been a busy few weeks here at Kupkake HQ, so I will try and catch up on the posts to fill you in on the latest caking adventures!

A recent cake we did was for an old friend who recently got married. The bride wanted a quite traditional and elegant cake in fondant, but with some beautiful red sugar roses and draping to add a modern touch.

We designed a two tier vanilla cake with raspberry preserve, vanilla buttercream and fondant, with three huge sugar roses and fondant draping.


Here is a closeup of the sugar rose



Everyone loved the cake, so great success! Congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Harrison!
