Mardi Gras Birthday

These were actually very fun to make! Filled with chocolate frosting and decorated with modeling chocolate.

I'm tired already...

I've been completely burned out (hah) on baking for some time now. I blame my tiny kitchen. Working on fixing this soon though, hopefully... ;)

Have two birthdays coming up in the next week or two that are going to keep me very busy. The plan is a set of Mardi Gras/LSU cupcakes and a set of Star Trek ones. We'll see how this goes!

Also have to get going on a few sets of cookie bouquets for a high school team-building exercise sort of thing.

In the meantime, here are some cupcakes I made a while back. I'll be trying out the monogram thingie again on the Mardi Gras cupcakes I think.

Nascar (Tony Stewart) Cupcakes

Made these for a coworker's birthday.

The checkered pattern just about killed me.

Need to experiment a little and try to make it more uniform.

On the plus side; these were the best tasting ones yet, by far!

Hello Kitty

Poopcakes

Piecakes

Star Wars Cupcakes

For my wonderful brother in law. The only person I know who actually understands these symbols...

These were the trickiest cupcakes I've made so far, lots of little bits to cut out and lots of geometric shapes to try to make match.

There was just no way of perfecting these, but they were fun to make!

Must make some frilly girly cupcakes soon... I'm on geek overload. ><

Have a Halloween-themed baby shower coming up very soon... already have ideas sketched out for that. Then a real Halloween party a few weeks later, not sure what I'll be making.

One of these days soon I'm going to have to suck it up and make some decorated sugar cookies again, but I cringe when I think of the mess. Ugh.
