Here are a few photos of some cupcakes I have created recently. The first is cupcakes that I made for my little brother's 6th birthday. They are chocolate cupcakes with vanilla butter cream topped with sugar cookie hockey sticks and junior mint hockey pucks. My brother loves hockey! The second cupcakes I made were in the design of an alligator (his choice). My brother attends a private school so I made cupcakes for the entire school of 38 so I needed to make 2 designs.
The second cupcakes I made where simple and included a fondant flower cutout for a Friend's birthday. What I love about baking is it does not need to complicated because in the end all that counts is if they taste good!!
I just got back from New York where Candice and I were fortunate enough to attend a taping of the Martha Stewart Show (my second time there) where during Q&A after the taping Martha said that she thought that mini pies where going to be the next "big thing" since cupcakes. I will be looking to try out some mini pies this summer. The rest of Marth'as show was amazing but I cannot comment on it yet as the show is not set to air until May 26th, but it was a blast!! I made cakepops again this weekend for my father in law's wedding which are the "big" hit in my family right now and the good thing you can justify eating more than 1 becasue they are still not as large as a piece of cake would be!!!!! Stay tuned and I will share a recipe with you...they are so easy!!!
Last but not least I want to wish a very Happy Birthday to 3 great friends...Candice & Crystal (my very best twin friends) and Amanda P (you brighten the world with your smile).
