The big centerpiece mustache is a 6" round cake cut into 2 halves -ying yang shaped- and then arranged to look like a 'stache. I frosted it in vanilla and then covered in chocolate jimmies.
It is surrounded by chocolate pound cake cupcakes with vanilla buttercream swirls.
The top tray is a new creation of mine, a twinkie-flavored vanilla pound cake with a whipped vanilla topping. I used decorated with chocolate fondant mustache cutouts.
Very fun and cute!
ReplyDeleteI have to ask you if you are from the east coast, Janet, since you called the sprinkles "jimmies". I grew up in NJ and we called them that, but it seems like everywhere else in the country, they call them sprinkles. So funny! :)
I grew up in Iowa and I'm pretty sure we called them sprinkles there, too. I think just recently when I buy ingredients in bulk and read things written by experts, they call them jimmies so I am trying to use that word because sprinkles is a broad term but jimmies are an actual specific type of sprinkle! But I didn't know it's an east coast thing, that's interesting )
DeleteHow funny! :)
DeleteSo cute and what a good idea! I would love to taste your new creation-twinkie flavored pound cake and whipped topping--yum!!
ReplyDeleteI discovered it by accident! I was just playing around with ingredients to make vanilla pound cake, and then tried one the next day and realized they tasted just like twinkies!
