Tracey had the idea of each guest being presented with a little Valentio themed gift... enter Digella!
This is the inspiration...
So please... any ideas send my way. I am thinking of mixing some shades of pink of butter cream in a piping bag which could work really well. I just need to find a technique which will produce a rather high cupcake decoration which looks like ruffles.
Send ideas post-haste!
First of all, let me say that I used to love the kewpie dolls too and always used to get one when I went to the show as a little girl... Now onto those cupcakes... Have a look at: http://www.fourandtwentyblackbirds.net/gallery-cakes-cupcakes.html and in particular the one called ruffle cupcake. If that is not what you are after, I am sure this site will give you plenty of inspiration. Good luck and enjoy the Valentino exhibition. ;-)
ReplyDeletegood luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm tweeting you three images from my OCD cupcake image collection. They may help. xxxk
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of doing something similar by using a carnation fondant cutter and arranging all the ruffled petal circles together over the cake. If you do a search on carnation fondant ruffles you should probably find something. But it would be quite a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteHow about doing a Turkish Delight cupcake with dusty rose coloured & rose water flavoured ruffles on top, decorated with silver cachous?
