Chinese New Year Cookies and Fondant Cake Decor

Was terribly busy during the weeks running up to Chinese New Year with the various baking of Chinese New Year Cookies.  It was a fun time churning out all these cookies.

Chinese New Year Cookies

 Also had an order for some cakes to be delivered before Chinese New Year.  And since it was the Lunar New Year of the Rabbit, came up with this simple CNY cake decor.

For the edible cake decor:-   Fondant rabbit signifying the zodiac rabbit year.  Fondant plum blossom flowers signifying luck.  A red fondant background representing joy, virtue, truth and sincerity since red is an auspicious colour.  And all things gold for prosperity.

Simple and nothing too elaborate for the fondant cake decor...  Yet bringing out the significance of the Chinese New Year festival.

Tiffany Blue Cupcakes With Fondant Butterfly

A special request for tiffany blue cupcakes with lavender butterfly.

Chocolate cupcakes with tiffany blue icing and lavender fondant butterflies

These chocolate cupcakes are packed in boxes of 6

Top view of the tiffany blue cupcakes with fondant butterflies

As per Cherilyn:- My friends love the cupcakes. They found it very pretty and too delicate to eat. As for me, I found the flower and leaf very crunchy, butterfly marzipan a bit too sweet and cos the butterfly was too big for the cupcake and 1/2 of the butterfly broke. The colours are very sweet and the mint green did have a tinge of mint in it, right? The mint flavour went very well with the chocolate cupcakes... :)
