I am super excited for my friend's birthday this coming Saturday. Its a glam rock party. So, all attendees are required to come in their glam rock look.
The event coordinator is a good friend Janice of "Everything in Place." She and I will be prepping the venue to make sure that everything will be ready before the party starts.
I will be making red velvet cupcakes. The cake supplier is Ms. Charlene of babybearsecretcakeshop. She was also the cake supplier of my baby's baptism party.
For the decors, we purchased black fabric from the Fabric Warehouse G5 for only php35/yard and black 1/4" ribbons at Carolines G5. Also, bought a hot pink metallic tulle for only php50/yard. I will be bringing my black and white Damask fabric as an added decor.
I finished lining the 3-tier cupcake tower with black ribbon last night. The birthday celebrant bought the cupcake tower from RM Boxes at only php240.00. The store sells, cake boxes, cupcake liners, etc. I think they supply most of the cake shops in the Metro.

Aleina Sofia Turns One
Dora Themed Chocolate Cupcakes
Its my first time to make 2D toppers out of fondant. Using a regular knife, I cut out dora's hair and face. For Dora's skin I combined three colors to make a tan colored fondant. The difficult part I guess was painting the brows and the lashes. I had no fine tip brush so I just made use of a regular tip brush. The Dora topper took me like an hour to make and another half an hour spent on kneading the fondant alone. The number "1" topper was the easiest to make since I had a cookie cutter. I also made a spiraled embossed fondant as a base.

Oreo Goodness and the Girl in Pink
Sharing my own version of oreo cupcakes.
My first try in fondant molding. I had difficulty in adding the face details. Lesson learn: make sure not to stain your hands with food coloring. I accidentally stained the left cheek of the girl ^-^
