I met Melissa through some mutual friends, and was delighted to find out that she is a professional cake decorator. She makes some really fantastic stuff. For her birthday, she decided that she didn't want to make her own cupcakes, so she asked me to make them for her. Of course, I wanted to impress her, so I pulled out all the stops and made some fabulous Dr. Who themed cupcakes.
Chocolate cupcake with dark chocolate frosting and the TARDIS flying through space. I was delighted to discover that Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder creates a frosting so dark that it's practically black. No food coloring was needed to create the look of deep space, accented with gold stars, white pearls, and some silver edible spray paint.
Yellow cake with milk chocolate frosting with a fez and a bow tie, because those are cool now. The swirl of frosting on a cupcake really reminds one of Matt Smith's swoopy hairstyle.
Yellow cake with vanilla frosting and a white chocolate coin inscribed with Melissa's name in circular Gallifreyan. I had so much fun with this app on my phone. It's so cool to me that fans get involved in the languages created by their favorite books and shows and then share that enthusiasm with the world.
Chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and a very ominous message written in royal icing. I was going for the feeling of graffiti on brick, and some manipulating of piping bags gave the frosting a slight square edge.
