Cupcakes

I did use the skills I learned in my cake decorating class for good.  Back at the end of March, I made cupcakes for a friend's birthday.

I practiced my basketweave on a few...

... and some flowers on a few mini cupcakes I made with some extra batter.

My favorites were the sunflowers.  I will definitely do these again.  They were a big hit.

For fun, I also made ice cream cone cupcakes.  I baked the cupcakes in the cake cones, swirled on the icing, and added sprinkles.  So cute.  So easy.

And in case you don't believe me, here is a shot after I sampled my work.

My method for transporting these babies?  Rings of aluminum for support in my cupcake carrier.
