Louis Vuitton Spring Inspired Cupcakes

If you have been following my blog, you might see the Louis Vuitton (LV) cupcakes I crafted about a month ago.  I received another order of  LV inspired cupcakes from the same customer about couple weeks ago.  She loved the cupcakes I crafted for her the last time and wanted to make order some more from me to bring to the LV store at the South Coast Plaza for their staffs.  So here you go...for you, all the fashion and cupcake lovers!

I hand painted the LV logo on the fondant. 

Aren't they classy?

The mini speedy bags and I made them slightly different than the last time.  I simplified them a bits to make them look cuter and also add some flowers with the same color schemes to make everything tight together.

When fashion meets cupcakes

A very good friend of mine, Natalie is a great inspiration of fashion and styling.  What I love about her blog is she always teaching people mixing and matching your old pieces with new pieces, and high end fasions with something you can easily grab from Target and Forever 21.   We don't need to dress from head to toe in Gucci and Versace.  She makes fashion fun and affordable!

I had been following her blog, The Jassy Spot even before I opened my own.  On the top of giving out all the updated fashion information and inspiration, she often gives away FREE STUFFS (including new make up, jewelries, skin cares, etc) on her blog.  If you have not checked out her blog, you are definitely missing something in your life.

I am so very pleased that our fashion inspired cupcakes got featured on her blog today. 

Go check out Cupcake X Fashion on her blog here.

Yay to all fashion...and cupcakes lovers!  Happy Wednesday!

Say Yes to the Dress!

Spring season is coming very soon; which means that wedding season is getting closer too. Finding a wonderful man is hard, but sometimes searching for the perfect wedding dress for the big day is even harder.  Are you or any of your friends are searching for "the perfect one"?  Would you consider these stunning wedding dresses I found from the Internet? 

What style of bride you are?
 A. a wild and romantic style?  (or should I say it in French, romantique)

Or B. a dreamy and classy style?

Or C. a laid back and modern bride?

The last but not the least, or
D. Sexy and like to show off the body you have been working on so hard for the past year?

No matter what type of bride you are.  Please remember to relax, have fun and enjoy the whole process of finding your perfect dress.

French + Chocolate + Fashion = Salon Du Chocolat 2011

French + Chocolate + Fashion = Salon Du Chocolat 2011 in Paris.  You don't know how much chocolates could do until you see these amazing dresses.  All the fashion pieces look amazing and yummy, check out these pictures.  There is a little embrassing moment on the stage during the fashion show - French TV presenter, Karine Ferri presented her chocolat dress on stage, and all of a sudden, her dress was falling apart on the stage (probably due to the heat from the lights).  Good that she remained clam, professional and belle. 

O No!

"Que devrais-je faire? (What should I do?)"

Stayed clam and belle

What a big piece of chocolate on her head!

So sexy!

This is one not-so-conformtable outfit.

Cupcake Dress

You might see Katy Perry wore her cupcake dress on the stage; you might think that she is so cute and adorable.  Are you dare to wear a dress made with real cupcakes on your big day (either your wedding day or a BIG party)?!  I found these amazing dresses made with cupcakes from different sources on the internet. 

Check it out, dolls:

I think this cupcake dress is gorgious.  It doesn't even look like a dress made with cupcakes,
it could pass as a real cocktail dress.

Recongonized this lady in the picture?!  Yes, she is one of the sisters from the hit show DC Cupcakes on TLC
(The real name of their store called, Georgetown Cupcakes, located in Washington DC). 
The sisters were asked to created a life-sized couture wedding dress.

A cupcake dress, minimize the cake!  So element and classy! 
Love it

Cake and Fashion

I watch Cake Boss religiously.  I watch it, record it, and sometimes re-re-watch it; that's how much I enjoy this show.  Buddy and his crew are very talented and creative about their cake design.

 
Couple months ago, I watched one of the episodes about making some fashion inspired cakes for the fashion designer, Issac Mizrahi for his new Fall 2011 Collection Fashion Show.  Issac Mizrahi debuted his Fall 2011 collection titled "Cake." at New York Fashion Week. The show was inspired by poodles and Wayne Thiebaud's painting of cakes.

Here are little recap from the show:

Issac stopped by Carlos Bakery in New Jeresy and asked Buddy Valastro to create some cakes for his fashion show.  Not just Buddy needed to create the cakes, he also need to find a way to make the cakes light enough for the models to carry on the stage.  It was a challenging project, but Buddy delivered great quality of the "cakes" (he used styrofoam to make the "cakes" and covered them with real fondant and fondant decorations) and meet the expectation of Issac.
