Banana & Devil's Food Cupcakes - Aidan's Christening & 1yr old Birthday

Aidan's birthday is on 8 June (Monday) & his christening is on 7 June (Sunday). I want to make something special for him eventhough he's only 1 year old & doesn't know much about fancy cakes. I make 2 flavours for the cupcakes & mini cupcakes: Banana & Devil's Food (chocolate), with Cheese Cream & Buttercream Icing.

A week before making the cupcakes I prepared the Royal Icing first.


Tiny presents...


Tiny bananas...


Tiny strawberries...


A pair of tiny booties...

Then two days before that Christening Day (which was on Friday) I made the cupcakes & mini cupcakes

Mini Cupcakes...

On Saturday morning I made the cream cheese & buttercream icing before decorating them with Royal Icing.

Phew...after 5-6 hours these are what my hands have made...

This single cupcake fits for Aidan's Christening as well as his birthday.

Babies in patch blanket. It did take me long hours to make the patch blanket. I had to cut the squares & attached them to the blanket.

Simple cupcakes with tiny presents.

Babies in blanket again. These ones are quick to make.

This is Aidan, my 1st year old nephew, enjoying chicken bone.
