Medical and Get Well Themed Cupcakes

En Español

Medical and get well themed cupcakes, another cupcake creation that I made for a client inspired by a photo they sent me from the Internet. Of course it takes a great amount of time to do all the details in themed cupcake toppers, but I really enjoy making them. Have you worked on cupcake toppers before? Do you enjoy making them?

I make my toppers using fondant only and keep them covered for those that do like to eat them. Most of the time they do get eaten and I happy with that. How about you, do you like to eat cupcake toppers?

I believe they make a lovely "get well" gift and also are adequate for events targeted for medicine or doctors.

I love the way the stethoscope came out. I can't wait to make sweet things like these for my daughter when she graduates in a few years from med school. In the meantime I'll keep practicing!

Cupcakes info: vanilla cupcakes, caramel filling, and fondant toppers.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. - Isaiah 53:5

Daffodil Cake

En Español

This is a very light lemony marble cake made of a rich spongecake and angel food cake. The following recipe was adapted from McCall’s Cooking School daffodil cake. I thought it would be a great alternative to the customary carrot cake or coconut cake that are served this season.

To serve, sprinkle with some confectioners’ sugar, or accompany with some vanilla ice-cream. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did at home.

Since the cake has a cheerful yellow and white color I made some gumpaste daffodils to add a spring decor to it. A perfect and easy to follow daffodil gum paste flower step by step could be found here: Cake Journal.

In the past I have mentioned that the lemons here are green, that is the reason you see the lemon peel as green. Green or yellow it is fine. We call them lemons, but they realy are limes. "Limón criollo" and "limón persa" are the common variety grown and sold here.

This recipe calls for cake flour. In the notes I have included how to substitute it if you do not have any at hand.

I dedicate this recipe to two of my princesses, Ruby and Topaz, who love angel food cake.

"The more wealth people have, the more “friends” they have to help spend it. So the rich really gain nothing. They can only look at their wealth.  Those who work hard all day come home and sleep in peace. It is not important if they have little or much to eat. But the rich worry about their wealth and are not able to sleep."- Ecclesiastes 5:11-12
