Cupcakes for Soma Chocolatier

So I get my super yummy cocoa powder from Soma Chocolatier.  More often than not, when I get more cocoa powder, I can't resist a scoop of their pistachio gelato too. mmmm...

Because I get so much cocoa powder from them, I thought I'd give the King street location a batch of cupcakes for them to enjoy... chocolate walnut cupcakes with vanilla buttercream using of course, their Soma cocoa powder.

Baptism Cupcakes

One of my best customers had asked me to make cupcakes for her son's baptism this past weekend.  We decided to have a mix of fondant toppers with the cross, and some paper toppers with a 'God Bless Marcus Xavier' message.

I made 2 types of cupcakes for this special event:

1. Chocolate with toblerone fudge filling, topped with vanilla frosting
2. Chocolate with Skor bits filling, topper with blue vanilla frosting and more Skor bits

Thank You Cupcakes

My friend asked for some cupcakes to give to the nurses that helped to take care of his son in the hospital.   He asked me to make some recommendations so I suggested three of the recent popular ones:

1. Red velvet cupcake with white chocolate cream cheese (and edible red glitter)
2. Vanilla bean coconut cupcake with mango frosting and shredded coconut
3. Chocolate toblerone cupcake with strawberry frosting and toblerone crumble

The icing was made using fresh pureed fruit. And who says cupcakes can't be healthy?? :)
