Thank you. Today I’ve just baked these cupcakes. The taste is nice, fluffy cake and i am gonna use buttercream frosting for some of them, chocolate frosting and espresso frosting for the rest. ;) ebru

Make marshmallow fondant! I put some on a cake for a party and everyone was hesitant to try it, but after some coercing even the people who “didn’t like fondant” tried and LOVED it. It tastes like marshmallows and is very easy to work with. I found myself eating leftovers from the bag for weeks! :)

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOUR FONDANT COMMENT! The first time I had fondant was for my 18th birthday and I was pretty excited to try it. But my first thought when I put it into my mouth was,” …ICK.” It’s pretty to look at, to be sure, but not so tasty.

Oh, thanks! Quick answer lol

I’ve found the Wilton ones, and they look awfully like yours. But I live in Brazil and they are somewhat expensive, because they are imported and such.
I guess I will just buy those Wiltons since it’s a well known brand. I don’t think there are Jell-o Jigglers around here!

Thanks Elissa! Lokking foward to see more cupcake recipes! :)

Juliana – Thanks! These cutters were passed to me by my grandmother, who doesn’t bake as often as she once did. I don’t have the box anymore and I don’t know how old these cutters are, but I checked for you. Funnily enough, they’re “Jell-o Jigglers” brand! Who knew? :)

Hi Elissa, I just love your blog and your skills. You leave me completly envy! lol :)

I would just like to know what brand are those cutters you own for the letters? Are those Wiltons? I’ve been trying to find cute letter cutters and yours is what I have come to like so far.

Thanks and keep blogging!

Tanvi – The shop is called Home Cake Decorating Supply Co (9514 Roosevelt Way Northeast, Seattle, WA). It’s really a great place. It’s run by one lady all on her own, and she really knows a LOT about cake decorating. The store is tiny, but absolutely packed, with rows and rows of supplies piled high. As small as it is, there is so much to look at and she has literally everything. Definitely check it out!

I’m from Baltimore and love the show Ace of Cakes. We ordered a birthday cake from there a few years ago (not a big fancy one that would make it on the show). It looked cool but was expensive and not good. The cake was dry and basically naked once you removed the yucky fondant. Not worth it if you’re not in it just for the wow of the things they can create.
