If you love cupcakes...

(if you love cupcakes), then clap your hands, (clap your hands)...
Or just enjoy these pics of some cupcakes that will seriously make your mouth water for more. I have always used icing from the can...gasp! With this class, I have had to make my own icing...I really didn't know what I was missing. ( Still love me some icing from a can though! ha!)
Tonight we learned how to make clowns (creepy) and little flowers as well as the second step to the rose (not fun and may be the end of me...j/k). I practiced the clown but did not want to waste money on clown heads. I decided to get a little creative and make other figures from another book. (I seriously should not be in a class because I really just like to do my own thing)
Enough rambling...here are the pics!


Sweet little elephant is all lopsided after turning over on the way home...oops!


It may or may not be a goal of mine to see how many owls I can sneak in my cakes during this class. We have required cakes some weeks but I may just have to tweak them a bit. I was lazy this week and didn't mix new colors which is why there is a pink elephant and then pink little owl. Makes it more fun with fun colors...don't ya think?!



After two animals, I got really lazy and decided I would practice these little flowers because they are really really easy and super fast. I think this might be one of my favorites from class so far. I mean seriously, how cute are these little flowers. I tried one out and it was simply delightful.



No cake in fondant class Saturday which will be very nice. We will be learning how to use royal icing! Woohoo!

Hoot Cake! (Beginner Class)

Tonight was class two of the first course. I just had to do an owl! I know you are all so surprised. The book wanted us to do a rainbow (no thank you) and our teacher let us pick our own design if we wanted to do something different. We could have also picked the character cakes and I am so glad I did not as it would have taking forever to do all those little stars. I added dots for fun and added a few too many...oh well...that is why I am practicing! ha! (The green looks better in person...at least I think it does)
