Tropical Birthday Cupcakes

Got a new order from Chen Yi. She wants to do it for her friend's birthday. Her friend loves bananas and anything chocolate. The colour theme she gave me to work with was green, brown & yellow. Base to be chocolate banana and vanilla topping.

The first thing that came to my mind with all those combination is a very tropical feeling.

I managed to get this really nice coconut trees... which will be perfect for the tropical feel I hope to create. I was hoping to find banana trees actually, but oh well... I think these are nicer!

For the middle part of the cup-a-cake, I added mini chocolate swirls... lots of it because Chen Yi mentioned her friend's love for chocs. And to blend in the yellow colour, I handpicked the yellow round sugars... only yellow to be added around it. I wanted to give it a sandy feel using brown sugar at first but I'm afraid it'd be TOO sweet! Also added mini hearts and silver dagarees - kinda like my signature now...

And to top it off... chocolate biscuit! They kinda look like tree trunks with it's top cut off..

And into the box it goes! I hope they (chenyi & friend) likes this tropical idea!

Happy Birthday _____________!!!

(ps: can give me a name to fill it in??)
