I had a request for small treats which guests could serve themselves during a crab boil. The client choose cake pops, mini cupcakes, fondant sea shells and sugar cookies to arrange on her dessert table. (Well I did remember to take pictures of the cake pops, cupcakes and shells but not the sugar cookies. I was hoping to get a picture once the table was complete, however, I have not received it from the client, so I decided to post what I did have)
The five cake pops included: A sand pail
A starfish. (The texture is made of dried sugarveil crumbs and powdered food coloring)
Of course, the CRAB (his legs and claws are made of chocolate clay)
A solstice sun (again the rays are made of chocolate clay)
and a beach ball (the stripes are fondant which is applied
while the chocolate is still wet)
I made the shells about a week in advance to allow them to air dry slowly (this was difficult as we were having a lot of heat and humidity, so it took a full week to get them to the correct dryness) The are generally used as decoration; however children love the idea that they can eat them :)
The mini cupcakes were five different flavors: Key Lime with Lime Curd, Devils Food Chocolate with Fudge, White with Strawberry Compote, Pina Colada with Pineapple Compote, and Chocolate Peanut Butter with Peanut Butter Mousse. I placed a casted sugar shells or tropical fish atop the buttercream.
