The ants go marching one by one....

Hooray! Hooray!

So for a co-workers birthday (that was this weekend) I wanted to make her cupcakes. When I was deciding which one's to make, I looked through my cupcake books. I found a cute one, but they definitely didn't come out looking like I wanted.  ((Steph I promise I will make you cuter cupcakes at a later date))

The green frosting for the grass :) I don't have a picture of the ingredients because I used stuff that I already had in my pantry.

I know that it's a little blurry but here is the first attempt. I died coconut and put it around the cupcake. On top of the ant, is a watermelon gummy. It didn't stay on very well so I decided to not go with it. I also tried using icing to do the legs, but they didn't bend the way that I wanted them too.

The top of them. Like I said, they don't look very cute. They look like cupcakes I should be making for Halloween, not for someone's birthday ((again Steph, I promise I will make other ones)).

Then there were twelve ants! ((There is actually 24 but these look better than the other one's)) The legs worked a lot better when I used frosting. I decided to not use the coconut because it looks better without it to me.

Stayed tuned for the next set :) I'm looking forward to the one's I'm making next. Also, I'm rather excited because I signed up for a cupcake decorating class!
