I only use pure butter in cakes so even after 3 days, the cake still tastes good (plus, I am a butter snob). The tops are made with maraschino cherries, coconut flakes, pink & white marshmallows and drizzled with melted milk chocolate. Because this was catered for a two-year-old kindergarten party, I opted not to include any nuts and left the bases quite plain. Otherwise, I would have made a triple colour marble cupcake base.
For the rest, the entire shoot was done using natural light and one reflector and a tripod.
The best part is eating it though!
