Couture Cupcakes

Theme: Couture

Lettering Font: Couture (replicate of CHANEL's brand font)

The Letters

First, I printed out the letters DAPHNE'S 22ND in block form and then cut them out. I rolled white fondant and traced the cutout letters with a sharp knife. I let the letters dry out so that it becomes hard. I used Cake Decorators Edible Paint in Antique Gold to paint over the letters. 

The Cupcakes

I used Devil's Food cake mix for the cupcakes. Turns out that there is enough cake batter for way more than 12 cupcakes! I accidentally over-filled the cupcake cases so the cakes ended up being a bit too large. Problem solved: I have a few large, red cases in stock so I placed each cupcake on top of one.

I also placed a surprise inside each case! I hope they enjoyed it :)

The Decorations

I researched 'couture' and got some ideas for the decorations. I mainly tried to replicate, using buttercream, dresses that I found associated with high fashion, such as Vera Wang and Chanel. In my opinion the cupcakes ended up looking like how people in the city dress in The Hunger Games.
