Horde cupcakes

I've been wanting to make Horde cupcakes for a while now. I'm a big World of Warcraft fan, and there aren't nearly enough WoW-related baked goods online!

These are chocolate cupcakes, filled with chocolate icing and covered with black and red fondant.

I made my own stencil for the Horde symbol with an X-acto knife and some thin plastic and then used it to cut out the fondant.

Birthday cupcakes

This was my first real attempt at using fondant. I wanted to make something pretty for a co-worker's birthday party.

The 'quilted' ones were the most difficult... it was hard not to slice right through the fondant.

I filled the fondant cupcakes with whipped frosting to give them more flavor. The tops are decorated with royal icing.

I was afraid people wouldn't like the taste of the fondant ones, so I made some super puffy cupcakes with whipped frosting to make sure everyone was happy. (The yellow lemon ones were the favorites!)

Valentine's Day cookies

More practice with royal icing and flooding.

I tried out some cookie sticks too, and make a bouquet to take to work.

Christmas cookies

Started experimenting with royal icing and sugar cookies this Christmas.

Its a lot of work!
