Before I move on to the chocolate cupcakes, cameo mold and the videos, I would like to thank YOU for the wonderful compliments in comments and emails that I receive on daily basis, I do read them all! Thank you for reading, choosing and sharing Mari's Cakes content!

A few things I love...
I love the color blue, I love chocolate, I love cameos and now, I love this cameo silicone mold that I used to make these adorable cameos ideal for beautifully decorating cakes, cookies, and cupcakes. These cupcake toppers are a true beauty and I LOVE them. If I were to pick a blog post that identifies my personality, this is surely the one I'll pick.

For the Cameos Cupcake Toppers you'll need: 

• Baby blue and white fondant. I used this one. 
• This recipe Royal Icing recipe for the bead border around the cameos and also could be used for gluing them to the fondant topper. 
• My favorite Chocolate Cupcakes recipe. 

Check out these other beauties, they make great cupcakes for a wedding. By the way if you live in Dominican Republic, and are interested in ordering these cupcakes send me an email.

Pink Pecan Russian Teacakes

En Español

These pink pecan Russian Teacakes are as irresistibly delicious as they are cute. They have a nice pink color, and a mixed flavor of cinnamon and pecan that will enchant you! This is one of many versions created by my daughter. For that special sweet gift or any theme party in pink this is a great choice dessert. My youngest daughter, Topaz, has created two varieties for the past Valentine’s Day, these pink pecan and the red velvet Mexican wedding cookies that I shared here.

See step by step of the original cookies here: Mexican wedding cookies.
