Summer Garnishes

Hello! Sorry I've been so MIA lately... the long weekend accompanied by the fantastic weather was result of no new posts! Hope you all enjoyed all that hot sunshine, I can tell Summer is FINALLY on it's way!

Summer definitely reminds me of fresh fruits, and with the Hudson Farmer's Market now open every Thursday, I can't wait to get my hands on some fresh local goods! Lately I have been trying to garnish my cupcakes with fruits, rather than fondant! Equally beautiful, and bursting with fresh flavor, it's a nice change!

Below are two of Les Gâteaux Mignons' new cake flavors! The first is a White Chocolate Cupcake with Chocolate Buttercream, a fresh Raspberry and White Chocolate Shavings. (yum, I know..) The second is a Banana Pecan with Chocolate Chips Cupcake, with Chocolate Buttercream and a dried Banana Chip and lightly dusted with Icing Sugar.

Cheers!
