How to Make a Patrick Star Cupcake Topper

Do you know who Patrick Star is? He is SpongeBob Squarepants’ funny best friend. He is a pink starfish and wears a vividly colored pair of shorts. If you have a fascination for Patrick, show everyone how adorable he can be by making a cupcake topper in his likeness. Here’s how:

Aside from cupcakes and the usual frosting, you will need star-shaped sugar cookies as well. To begin making your Patrick Star cupcake topper, you’ll need slightly melted pink icing and drying rack. Put your cookie on top of the rack and begin coating the top part with the pink icing. Make sure that the surface of the cookie is thoroughly covered. Shake the cooking on the rack to let the excess icing drip off. Sprinkle a bit of red colored sugar on the cookie and let it cool.

As for Patrick’s cute shorts, you will need neon green and purple colored buttercream icing. Use a pastry bag to pipe in the shorts over two points of the star. You can use a butter knife to smooth in the buttercream. Next, you’ll need to pipe in a few flowers over the shorts using the purple buttercream.

Use white icing to make Patrick’s eyes and black icing for the eyebrows, center of the eyes, mouth and belly button accents. Let the cookie dry completely before putting in on top of a frosted cupcake.

Cake Topper Friday: Tiara Wedding Cake Topper

Posted on March 16, 2012 by Brooke

Now, seriously…why didn’t we think of this?  Brill!

So…we all need to be honest here, right this minute.  And that is to say that if we had our way, we’d ALL get the chance to wear little tiaras and crownlettes (is that a word?  I don’t think so) like this.  I personally would wear mine while grocery shopping and vacuuming.  Heck, I already wear my pearls for those activities, so why not?

This is a great cake anyway, all white on white, round on square, with a perfect swag of fondant doing a great fabric impression.  The piping is exquisite, the decorations are just enough without crossing the line.  But it’s the crown that takes the cake.  Yessir, I said it.

Stephanotis Nosegay Cake Topper

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Brooke

My senior year in high school, the sweetest boy took me to prom.  I wasn’t big on corsages, especially those wrist-y kind that were so popular at the time.  So I asked for a nosegay, a little bouquet that I could carry.  He obliged with the most adorable little cluster of pink tea roses, surrounded by baby’s breath and variegated leaves and pink ribbon.  Sigh.  And wow.  I can super still remember that

So nosegays have always had a little place in my heart.  My girls carried nosegays instead of full bouquets for my wedding, in fact (Nikko blue hydrangeas in that instance.)  There’s just something so classic about their demure size.  Well, you can pretty much guess that I flipped when I saw this cake topper of stephanotis (love them!), made of sugar, and fashioned into a perfect petite nosegay.  Trimming the little clutch of flowers is a maize yellow ribbon, trailing all the way to the table.  The cake is lovely; with its ribbon trim and the asymmetrical height of its layers, I’d say it’s “just so.”  But that nosegay on top, as though an attendant breezily tossed it there on her way through the reception.  Well.  Darling.

The beautiful cake and topper were created by Superfine Bakery in Burbank, California.
