Hail to the V!

 200 of these lady-inspired cupcakes were designed and created for a charity production of the Vagina Monologues, benefiting Rape Trauma Services of Westchester--a wonderful organization that supports, protects and advocates for all victims of sexual assault in Westchester county. For the sake of being truly representative, the buttercream was tinted to reflect 15 different skin tones, and each gum paste labia minora was hand sculpted to be completely unique.

Butterfly and Baby Block Cupcakes

These guys were part of a "flutter-by" display at a baby shower, exhibiting fresh blueberry and creme cupcakes topped with home-made candy butterflies. To keep the wings open and natural looking, we placed fondant alphabet blocks with the letter V (for the coming baby's name) under the right wing of each "flutter-by."
