Pineapple Upside Down Cup Cake

Full Size is large.

This Cup Cake, among others in my gallery, was done for a birthday party. 7 flavors, 12 cup cakes each. A good friend of mine did the baking and came up with the flavor profiles, so I can not take credit for that. I was there to do the decorating, but I still thought these were to yummy and artistic not to post on DA. Each cupcake got a custom made cupcake wrapper with Happy Birthday written in calligraphy. Later that day they were put beautiful display of pink and white.

This is a pineapple upside down cup cake, in a sense. It's a pine apple cup cake, filled with a thick glaze/icing made from brown sugar and butter. Ringed with brown sugar butter cream, topped with a pineapple pastry cream, and garnished with more brown sugar glaze and a half of a maraschino cherry.
