Nude! Cupcake Shirt


Real post coming soon. Promise. Like this week soon! In the mean time let us look at this naughty little cupcake who appears to be somewhat of a nudist. I figure if im going to dress down in t shirt they should at least have adorableness all over them, right?

P.S. Last Wilton class is tomorrow. It's not worth reviewing them individually so i will as a whole next week (maybe).

Android Robot Cupcakes

I'm a fan of Google's mobile phone OS, Android. I'm an even bigger fan of their cute little green alien robot mascot. I was going to bake some plain sympathy cupcakes but decided i might as well try something fun. And so i made my best attempt at a yummy edible green robot of my own.


Before i go into the details though, can i just say how much fun neon green cupcakes are? I didn't even want to frost them! They were so pretty.


I wasn't sure how i was going to make it's appendages, or how really lol. So I went to Walgreens and bought five dollars worth of green candy. I am quite frankly surprised that i didn't eat more of it then i did though. Here's a look into how i work though. On my mom's dining room table with holidays decor from both Christmas and Valentines Day. And crap eeeeeverywhere, ha.


Anyways, they turned out to be quite simple. Green tropical Mike and Ike's for the hands - secured with toothpicks. Green Apple Sour Punch Straws for antennae. The eyes were white Wilton Candy Melts, shaped into little eyes. I added green and yellow food coloring to both the batter, which was lemon and the frosting, which was vanilla.


Okay enough talk. More robots!


It was an army! haha.

Edit: UPDATE: This is the Android mascot for comparison - in case you live under a rock =p. Their version 1.5 was called Andriod Cupcake. I found this about a month and half after i made them. They kinda look alike don't they???

Domo-kun Brownies

Okay so these aren't exactly cupcakes. Or even home made. There's a funny story behind these actually. They were for an ex boyfriend's birthday. He said he wanted brownies, not cupcakes. So a-baking i did go. But burnt them. There might have been tears. And a midnight run to Safeway to buy premade brownies. Details Details.
After the hard task of taking the brownies out of the box (hey that plastic is tricky!), i used gel to dot the eyes. Then i used two air heads, white and red. I painstakingly cut the white air heads into teeth. It was a pain in the ass. Real talk.




But they came out well! And i learned that i should stick to cupcakes, not brownies. haha. I haven't even attempted to bake brownies since then!

Thanksgiving Turkey Cupcakes


Circa 2007-ish I believe. I made these for our annual Thanksgiving ("Friendsgiving") pot luck. I got the idea from here. (I think. It was quite some time ago.) There's are cuter though. My eyes look a little crazy pants. Redo this year perhaps?
