For my hub's birthday, I decided to do Firefly cupcakes because.. Firefly is awesome and so is he. :)
So the sandy environment that they tread upon is made of crushed graham crackers & vanilla frosting. And then Serenity is amongst edible star glitter & chocolate frosting hovering above them. :)
Yay! :) There they are.. Jayne, Mal & Zoe upfront w/ their pistols. Inara, Kaylee & Wash behind them. And then way in back around Book, River & Simon. All made outta fondant... it took a while. :P
Here's a little close-up of Serenity.. which I'm kind of disappointed about. It's made out of chocolate but it would've been cooler if I had time to make an actual like 3D Serenity. Maybe next time... ;) Harder to find time now w/ Baby.. :)
Here's a little close-up of the crew:
Mal w/ his jacket... no suspenders shown unfortunately. I know.. my little guns are pretty weak... I'm not that good at making them accurately. =/
The hero of Canton, the man they calllll Jayyyyynnnneee :) with his awesome hat & huge gun LOL :)
And "We will call it.... This Land." Wash sportin' his casual button-up and of course, dino in tow. :) Kinda wishin' I made the dino green... oh well! :P
Kaylee!! :) with her wrench and jumpsuit - ready to fix whatever needs fixin! :)
And there's Book with the Good Book. :) It would've been cooler if I could've made his hair bigger.. like when it was ... BIG .. but that would've looked a little weird with the fondant. :)
And there's Inara - being her friendly & pretty self :)
And here's Simon & River... River looks a little lost... which is kinda perfect. haha :) Didn't really mean to make the hair look like dreads.. but ehhh... i think it worked okay. And there's Simon by her side.. looking all doctor-ey. :)
Alrighty - that's all for now! :) Yay! Happy Birthday Keith!

SO ADORABLE!!!
Those are awesome... That's one lucky birthday dude!
Those are great and creative cupcakes. I may have to learn to play with ganache too...if I understand what you said correctly. Does one buy ganache or make it? I like little fiddly activities, not meant in a negative way at all, it allows me to focus and shut out the extraneous crap...uh oh attitude alert. Anyway, well done!
Well now, those are just utterly and completely awesome.
Happy Birthday to the lucky fella! You're lucky twice over, dude: First off, you married an obviously talented woman and 2) She made you FIREFLY cupcakes w/3D characters! AWESOME!!! I LOVED these pics; I think the characters turned out wonderfully! Thanks for sharing and brightening up my day. :)
This is awesome!! I wish I had the talent to do that! I've never worked with fondant though and I'm not artistically inclined.
SOO cute! Nicely done and one lucky husband!
These are awesome! Good job Browncoat. ;)
SHINY!!!

Saw this retweeted on twitter. AMAZING!
I just saw this via Sean Maher's Twitter feed. They are shiny! So amazingly adorable.
Another Twitter viewer. These are a glorious work of art. I am torn between hiring Jayne to track you to your house so I can devour them, and preserving them forever in shellac. Gorgeous! Kudos.
Another Twitter follower =) Can I just say I am EXTREMELY jealous of your talent?

Vivian, you are amazing! This is a beautiful work and gift, congrats!! :-))

The crew of Serenity would be proud. Your husband is one lucky man.
You have made my day. You should totally sell these and post to London! I want one!
Another Twitter-head, who caught Sean's tweet. Being a fellow Browncoat, I can only say, these are so awesome!! Absolutely SHINY! Lucky hubby. Happy birthday, man. Would love to see more Firefly treats... LOL
That is the shiniest thing this side of the verse! You've got the luckiest husband ever.
Yet another Twitterer here. They are all amazing but my favorite is Kaylee and her cool little wrench!
Found you through Whedonesque! Awesome job you did. They look great! Lucky man!
Shiny!
Wish someone would make these for me for my birthday... true love, right there :)
Saw this on Whedonesque...
I cannot believe the amount of work, dedication and creativity that you put into this. It is truly amazing!
I love making cupcakes myself, but they usually end up pink and glittering, and I've never made anything like those little dudes.
This is so awesome! Really really sweet birthday gift.

Oh! And you're my hero.
Saw this on, believe it or not, the Browncoats group on a fetish website. (If you're vanilla, don't ask.) This is the most fantastic thing I've ever seen made out of food, and so cute it'd make the Operative crack. Epic dessert crafting win!
Great job! You did a great job capturing each character. I didn't even need the captions to identify them. :)

julia
