The Sweetest Little Baptism Cake + Cupcakes

9/22/2014

My friend Megan referred me to a fellow mom in her twins association to bake for her twin 8-month-old girls' christening. She was hosting 40 people so she wanted a simple pink buttercream cake complemented by 40 cupcakes. I later found out that the twin girls have an older (3 year old) sister and a fair number of cousins, so I'm guessing the cake was there for all the littles to tuck into while the grown-ups nibbled daintily on cupcakes.

I suggested decorating the cake with a a few scattered small, white fondant flowers. However, once I got started cutting out the flowers, I kind of couldn't stop. So the cake ended up with a blanket rather than a smattering.

The adorable little 6-inch round was made of chocolate cake filled with chocolate buttercream and surrounded with even more buttercream, this time in precious pink.

Each cupcake got its own flower to match the cake.

And to top off all this pink, flowery sweetness, my favorite detail was this S on one of the cupcakes, which I made out of pink and white layers of modeling chocolate (hey, there it is again!). The baptism day also happened to be the twins' aunt's birthday, so they surprised her with her own little celebration. So cute!

Congratulations to Erin and Laura and your family on your christening!
