Peach Trifle

So I have been a little busy (...okay; a lot busy) with cupcake orders lately. On Sunday, I had an overwhelming amount of left over cupcakes that were the runts of the bunch. Some were too big, some were to small, and some just weren't right. Instead of throwing these little guys away, I decided to fulfill their destiny as edible goodies, and make a nice trifle. This recipe is not your traditional trifle, but I think its better!

Ingredients:

- A dozen sub par cupcakes (or a pound cake)

- 1 can of peach halves (save the syrup)

- 500mL whip cream

- 1 cup of powdered sugar

- 1 fresh peach for garnish

Directions:

1. Cut cupcakes into 1" squares and set aside

2. Drain your peach halves, and save the syrup

3. Toss the cupcake squares with the syrup and allow to 'rest'

4. Slice the halves into slivers

5. Whip the cream with the sugar until stiff... do not over beat

6. Layer the ingredients in a large bowl (start with a cupcake base, add whip cream, than peaches and repeat)

7. Cover and refrigerate for two hours

Birthday Cupcakes

My friend Stephanie had her Birthday last week, and I decided to make the Birthday girl cupcakes. The cupcakes were made using this recipe, and marshmallow fondant. To get the 'shiny' effect, I glazed the fondant with a mixture of simple syrup and a dab of piping gel. 

Happy Father's Day

I might be jumping the gun on this post, but I wanted to wish all the Fathers a happy day on June 21st. These cuppies were made using this recipe, and covered with marshmallow fondant.
