Buttercream Bakery Banksy Cupcakes





The Banksy Cupcake is my best seller and over the last year or so has fast become my signature cupcake. 

 If you have visited my blog before you have probably seen my Banksy Girl with Red Balloon cupcake at some point (I included it in my first ever blog post).

  It is so difficult to be unique as a cake designer, so much has been done before, as far as I know, no one but me has done Banksy, I think I would cry if I ever saw another one.




Banksy is a world famous street artist whose works can be found all over,  his artworks are often satirical pieces of art on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics. His street art combines graffiti writing with a distinctive stencilling technique.  

 Banksy does not sell photos of street graffiti. Art auctioneers have been known to attempt to sell his street art on location and leave the problem of its removal in the hands of the winning bidder.




This is my new Banksy Panda, by specific request.

I was both excited and apprehensive about this batch, Girl with Red Balloon is super easy but Panda, I knew would be as difficult as Rat was.

This was the last Banksy set I did, Girl with Red Balloon and Rat.





Here are some pictures of the original Banksy works.

And a bigger picture of the Panda above....





After a bit of practise I managed to get the Pandas down to ten minutes each which wasn't too bad.




I think Panda might be my favourite ever Banksy Cupcake.

They are fondant, I hand cut them hence why they're so time consuming. Thanks for your lovely comments girls x
