Easter Sunday Cupcakes

For this upcoming Easter Sunday, I've decided I want to do cupcakes instead of cake. For one, cupcakes are always easier (or so I thought) and you don't have to cut them (this part IS true). 

To accomplish this "little" task, I made two grocery trips on different days because let's face it, I would like a crazy person with what I was buying - including 3 jars of pickles because I love pickles. 


Above is my "work station". As you can see, I had no more room on the table for everything so the chair beside me turned into a table. Included in my shopping spree for this cooking fun are airheads, variety pack of Twizzlers, Easter colored M&Ms, Rainbow sour strips (whatever they're called...), 3 different kinds of marshmallows (they have flavored yellow and green marshmallows! I think lemon meringue and lime something... I would have to check but I don't want to leave my bed..), flower sprinkles, pink sprinkles, chick peeps, Starbursts and edible... grass... stuff? Anyways, lots of sugar and candy! 

These cupcakes are Funfetti cake mix, so more sugar inside :) 


They aren't perfect, but these were my first attempts at making Easter cupcakes. Probably would've been much easier if I just made fondant... Now I feel like I should mention that while I was frosting and decorating all of these, I ate half a jar of dill pickles. I think I was absorbing so much sugar through the air that I needed to balance it out with something sour. Just kidding, I just love pickles :) 


And these are the finished products! 25 Easter cupcakes! Would've been 26, but while I had my back turned, Evee hopped up onto my chair and started eating one. Sneaky little bugger! But I still love her :) 


I think they came out pretty cute :) Now to keep them away from Evee until Easter Sunday... and I have a ton of leftover candy.... which isn't necessarily a bad thing.... 

Maybe I should make a cake after all :) I'll save the candy for my little angel's birthday party coming up. Until then!

MUDKIPZ!

Image
You read that title right. This cake is going to be a Mudkip from Pokemon. If you don't know what it is, then here is a picture of it below.  Look, a Mudkipz! So for this lovable little guy, I started off with Funfetti Cake Mix :)  Then I shaped the larger cake into the main head of Mudkip and the smaller cake into the head-fin thingie... Of course, I was told this looks more like a turtle with a huge head...  Add the blue fondant for the skin tone.  Then I rolled out my orange and pink fondant for his mouth and his.. umm... cheek flaps? Hehe, it looks like he's drooling... Why it looks like that is because I use water to stick the fondant to the fondant. Very easy and water is definitely edible :)  Now because of limitations on time, I was sleepy and I was babysitting while baking this, I just used black frosting for the details and marshmallows pieces for the white eye part... I'm tired, so my vocabulary is very limited right now.

Sopheria's 2nd Birthday!

Image
My baby is already 2 years old!!! T_T Where does the time go??? Anyways, for the theme of this party, I picked Sophie's favorite character at the moment (besides Elsa, I'm so over Frozen right now...) ....MICKEY & MINNIE! Who doesn't love a Disney birthday??  Since her actual birthday was a week before her birthday party, I made her two cakes (she is two years old after all!). I'm experimenting with the mirror glaze frosting (gelatin chocolate mix) and decorated one cake with candy balls and the other with food spray to see how it works with the glaze.  They both came out pretty cute I think :) A very easy, fast and neat way to cover a cake, I must admit.  There's the birthday girl!  Still blowing out those candles hehe Now time for the birthday party!  Sophie had gone apple & pumpkin picking with her daycare, so I decorated her little pumpkin for her :)  And the back!  I didn't really have too much time to

Birthday Cake Time! YAY!

Image
So there are birthdays today and as requested by my coworkers, I baked a cake for one of my other coworkers. She happens to share a birthday with one of the coolest peoples I know, BCD! So in dedication to them both, I made this cake. Sadly, only my coworker will be able to taste it since BCD is so far away!! :(  The cake is devil's food. Mmmmmm, chocolate... topped with vanilla frosting.  So the green frosting is to represent grass I guess.... if you're curious as to what the heck is in the middle, it's a plate with a salad on top and fruit snacks. Why? Well, it's well known at my work that this particular coworkers HATES fruits in salads. She thinks it's weird. So like the nice person I am, I put it on her cake so she's forced to eat it!! BWAHAHA!!  These are my little cupcake animals. Now, from the size of the plate, these animals are actually the size of mini cupcakes. That white blob over there is supposed to be a sheep. When I cut the ma
