Dexter Table Reading

A former co-worker emailed me last week with the most amazing opportunity! His friend works production on Dexter and she was looking to order some cupcakes for the first table reading for season 6. My former co-worker had shown her the Dexter cupcakes I had made before and she wanted me to make them. Ahhhhhhhhhh! *dies* Dexter is one of my favorite shows, so I was beyond excited.

So I made "blood" splatted cupcakes with knife, syringe and Dexter logo toppers. And a few of the cupcakes spelled out "Season 6."


I delivered these yesterday to the studio. I got to walk by the set and wardrobe. Eek! And the table reading room had scripts for the first episode of season 6 on the table. I wanted to peek so bad!! The cast was supposed to arrive an hour later, so I didn't get to meet any of them. :/ Buuuut the production lady said they're probably going to ask me to make the wrap party cake! Ahhhhhh! *dies again* I told the lady I hope they enjoy the cupcakes and she said "Oh, they're gonna love them. Michael C. Hall is gonna eat those cupcakes. The whole cast is!" *dies again*

Best cupcake/cake order ever.

A Chop Off the Old Block

The fourth season of Dexter starts today! I CAN'T wait. So to celebrate, I made some Dexter themed cupcakes.

Butcher knives, syringes, Dexter logos and red splatter...oh my!


Here's a closer look:

America's Favorite Serial Killer

Maria got me hooked on Dexter during the first season. I've been wanting to make a Dexter themed cake for awhile and I finally got the chance! My lady friend, Danielle, is also into Dexter and her birthday is tomorrow. Perfect opportunity to finally make this cake!


I covered a red velvet cake in white fondant. I really wanted it to be clean so I took my time. It's the best I've ever covered a cake! I'm super proud.


Then I made a fondant knife and put it on a lollipop stick.


I used red fondant and the Dexter font for her name.


Added "Happy Birthday" and some red "blood" splatter.

Here it is in all its gory glory:


This is by far my favorite cake. It turned out exactly how I wanted it to. I can't wait for Season 4 to start!
