Amazing Christmas cupcakes

Xmascupcakes_1 

Can you believe these are CUPCAKES? (Click on the photo for a bigger picture so you can see all the detail.)

These were made by Susan at Cutting Edge Cake Design. If you live in the Boulder/Denver area, I highly recommend her work. I first saw some of her fabulous cupcakes at my children's school's fall festival. She had donated them for the cake walk. The event coordinator took one look at her work and said, "These are going in the silent auction!" They were one of the more popular items to bid on.

Wanting to give my business partners at BKMedia Group a special gift to thank them for all the writing work they send my way, I had Susan make two boxes of six cupcakes. They were thrilled to receive them and couldn't believe they were edible. Indeed they are! The Christmas ball part is painted fondant and royal icing with a rich, chocolate truffle interior. I tried a sample, and it was decadent.

So if you're looking for a unique client or partner gift, try your local specialty bakery. After all, most people are kids at heart and love cupcakes!
