This tower and cake topper were created for a baby shower with the “Zoo Crew” theme. The mom-to-be provided us with a napkin with the Zoo Crew animals and pastel colors on it. It was a lot of fun to create the Zebra, Lion and Monkey out of fondant. The 6″ cake topper was chocolate cake with strawberry filling and the cupcake flavors chosen were: carrot, strawberry and chocolate.

These cupcakes were created to go along with a pink and brown polka dot themed baby shower. The hostess of the shower provided us with a copy of the invitation to inspire the design of the cupcakes. At Sweet Roxy’s we pride ourselves in custom designing your cupcakes to capture the theme and decor of your event.

Ducky Baby Shower Cupcakes

These custom Ducky cupcakes and 6″ cutting cake were created for a very special Baby Shower. The mom-to-be is my boyfriends twin sister. She supplied the rubber ducky for the cake and we created fondant cutouts in the shape of ducks to top each cupcake.

We also created ducky cookie favors with a thank you tag to go along with the tower.

This was a fun tower to work on. Esther’s healthy baby boy was born on September 7!

Bridal Shower Favors

We made 25 custom decorated Jumbo Cupcakes and boxed them with a personalized tag and ribbon for a Bridal Shower. The Bride-to-be had no idea these were being purchased for her shower.

The wedding colors were lavender and pink. Each cupcake was wrapped with a piece of pink grosgrain ribbon and topped with lavender colored fondant cutouts. We also embellished each favor box with a fresh lavender colored rose. These were fun to make.

Custom Nurse Cake and Cupcakes

This tower was created for a graduate from Nursing School. They requested Heart cutouts as toppers on the cupcakes because the graduate will be working in the Cardiology department of her Hospital. We made seven dozen mixed flavors and every single cupcake was gone by the end of the party!

We embossed each heart cutout with swirl stamps. I learned this technique from Melody of My Sweet and Saucy. Thanks Melody!

The matching Nurse cake was decorated with a Nurse’s Cap, stethoscope and blood pressure cuff. This was a fun cake to make and the graduate was very pleased.

Black and White Party!

This tower was created for a friends 30th black and white themed birthday party. We covered the tower layers in black and white flower print fabric and topped the cupcakes with black and white fondant flower cutouts. The cutting cake was a 6″ three layer cake decorated to match the cupcakes.

Relay For Life Cupcakes!

My family and I participate in the Annual Relay For Life of Watsonville held in August. Sweet Roxy’s baked this batch of cupcakes up for a team meeting and decorated them with the purple Relay Ribbon.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with Relay For Life, it is an American Cancer Society signature event. Relay is an overnight occasion designed to raise funds and empower the local community to fight back against cancer. I highly encourage you all to join us next year for Relay 09!

These cupcakes were made for Precision Mercedes, the exclusive Mercedes Benz service provider in Santa Cruz County. We used fondant to replicate their clock logo on the cupcakes. Check out the PM website and let me know what you think of our logo replication.

Casino Cupcake Tower

We made seven dozen casino themed cupcakes for Freedom Rotary’s 24th annual CASINO NIGHT. The fundraiser was held in March and raised over $16,000 for local organizations to improve the quality of life in our community.

We decorated the cupcakes with red and black sugar crystals and toped them with heart & diamond cutouts made from fondant. We also embelished some of the cupcakes with spade and clover shaped sprinkles.

The fundraiser and the cupcakes were a hit and Sweet Roxy’s was proud to be a part of such a great event.
