Happy Chinese New Year - Year of the Tiger Mini Cakes

Happy 2022!

I know it's been 2022 for almost a month, but life keeps getting in the way and the posts are suffering.  Sorry!

But I'm trying to get back into posting for the blog - because I really do enjoy it.  So first up for this year are some mini cakes for Chinese New Year.

2022 has got to be a better year for all, I mean it's the Year of the Tiger!!  

The cute little tiger toppers are made from white chocolate fudge dipped mini Oreos.  I melted some orange candy melt (well I didn't have orange so went old school art class and melted yellow with a little red).

Paint on the orange to cover the Oreo

Then paint on melted black candy melts for the stripes.  Use the orange and make some tiny tiger ears.

The nose is a cute heart sprinkle colored black with an edible food writer.  Ears are attached with more of the orange candy melt with a little white added for detail. Face detail is more melted black candy melt drawn on with a toothpick.

I botched a chocolate bundt cake as it wouldn't release from the pan (boo!) but I used the cake to cut out mini cakes for this project and the rest I'm saving for cake pops!

Add some buttercream frosting that I then sprayed red with some Wilton's color spray

I also added some gold color spray at the end to make it more Chinese New Year colors

Happy 2022 to all!
