Crafted Cakes bakes for Charlie-Leigh's 9th Birthday Party

The brief:
Guests: 50 approx
Birthday girl likes: The colour red and playing football

My Idea:
48 cupcakes displayed on a tower
1 giant cupcake to put candles in and cut

Decoration Ideas:
Red and white giant cupcake with star decoration
Football themed cupcakes



A simple sponge cake with a jam filling covered with sugarpaste decorations. The white stars and the base of the giant cupcake have pearlescent dust on them to make the cake sparkle. The letters are made using alphabet cutters and the cake is topped with a wooden "9" decoration.





The cupcakes are a simple chocolate sponge (to look like the ground under the grass) and the grass is coloured and piped vanilla buttercream. The cupcakes are in football themed wrappers and are decorated with a foil wrapped chocolate football and flag on a cocktail stick. The cupcakes were then placed on a cardboard tower.
