I've noticed a couple "cupcakery" shops in our area, and I think the craze is spreading fast. Who doesn't love a custom cupcake flavored to your liking? However, they aren't cheap. So, in anticipation of a snow day last week, I decided to try to make my own custom cupcakes for my favorite boys. They like chocolate cake with white frosting. I had some old parchment triangles from when I took my cake decorating class. Here's what I came up with:
Not too bad, and they were quite delicious. I do, however, wonder if the $2.75 each price tag is worth NOT having a couple dozen of these babies in my house! Dangerous!
I do love to decorate cakes! Here are a few of my favorite creations:
|
Elmo & Cookie Monster; love the goldfish for Dorothy! The eyes are powdered doughnuts. |
|
Sponge Bob; this is a HUGE cake, and I think my best! I used yellow decorating gel to make the sponge dots. |
|
This golf cake is a 9x13 cake with a half sphere golf ball popping from the cake. |
|
My son Cameron asked for blue and green lightsabers fighting with the blue winning. No problem! This cake was before my decorating class, but it is still one of my favorites! |
|
My most recent cake for my niece Lily! Love Minnie! |
|
I've done hockey, baseball, basketball, race cars, and trains...yes, I am a mom of boys! |
Happy Creating!
