Pretty Cake
My second custom cupcakes find is called Ticings, edible icings. Different from the fondant cupcake toppers that I wrote about previously, Ticings are thin sheets of edible icings printed using food grade inks. Not only are they FDA approved, but also Kosher and gluten-free.
Ticings are available for cupcakes, mini cupcakes, sheet cakes and tiered cakes and the website says that they stick best to butter-cream. They currently have a nice assortment of Ticings for all occasions. Although there is not a lot of wedding worthy designs to choose from, I would imagine that they will catch on quickly and add more designs. They do offer a set up service for custom designs. There is a 100.00 fee for each unique piece of artwork. They cannot guarantee color perfection as they are using all natural food quality inks.
These little gems are sure to impress your guests. They are great to dress up cake that your or a friend prepares for your wedding on a budget without scrimping on quality or style.
For the love of Fondant
I don't know about you. but I love fondant. Like little sheets of condensed marshmallow, it melts in my mouth and takes my breath away. In recent years cupcakes rather than cake has been all the rage. Cupcakes are cute and offer a casual and convenient alternative to having the cake "brought out back" and plated for guests. Often the cake cutting is done late in the reception and can take awhile to achieve. Especially if busy waitstaff is focused on cleaning up. You don't want any of your guests to miss out on dessert! Cupcakes offer a simple solution, by providing portable servings that are ready to eat when you are.
A terrific way to make your cupcakes cute without all the fuss is with these monogrammed fondant cupcake toppers by Two Sugar Babies. These toppers are the key to baking your own cupcakes and making them look like they came from a luxe bake shoppe. Aren't they darling!? 11.00 per dozen on Etsy.
