Mummy Cupcakes

With Halloween coming up, I wanted to make cupcakes with a Halloween theme to them. I finally came up with one, with some inspiration from the internet :) Let me know what you think.

Cupcake Cake

Sorry for the delay in having new designs up. Life has been rather hectic lately, but I finally have time to upload new pictures.

My best friend was coming in town for her birthday, so I wanted to make her something neat to celebrate it! So what's better than a cupcake? A cupcake cake! Hope you enjoy the pics!

The inside of the cake

The top of the cake was oreo and the bottom of the cake was chocolate. Chocolate frosting on the top with star sprinkles!

Decorating 101

So I took my first cupcake class at Country Kitchen Sweet Art last night and learned a lot of fun stuff. I am no longer afraid of fondant :) I thought it would be really difficult to do but it wasn't. I also learned how to fill cupcakes which is much easier than anticipated also. I got to bring home all of the items that we decorated, however they are all going to work for others to eat :) Here are some of the pictures!

Peanut Butter Cupcakes

We are celebrating a friends birthday tomorrow night, so I thought I would make her some cupcakes for her birthday. I found a recipe that looked good, and then I added my own twist to it. These are the first cupcakes that I have made from scratch. Inside of the cupcake is a Reese's in the middle of it.

I had never made these before so I was wondering how the Reese's would look once they were baked. They turned out a lot better than I thought they would.

They kind of remind me of the sugar cookies that I make at Christmas time with a Kiss on the top. Just by the way they look. Instead of just using a plain vanilla or chocolate for the frosting, I wanted to add a bit of twist to it. So I added a 1/2 cup of peanut butter to the chocolate frosting. It tastes really good.

Hamburger Cupcake

Our Kitchen Manager, Toemas, is leaving us for another store, so I thought I would make him a treat on the last day that I worked with him. So what would be the best cupcake to make for the manager who works in the kitchen? Hamburger cupcakes!!! I thought that they would be difficult but they were a lot easier than that I thought. Here are a few a pictures.

In the process of making the hamburgers, I also made the Oreo Cupcakes again. They were requested by some of the staff at Applebee's because they didn't get to try them the first time. I decided to spice it up and use color frosting on top. I think they came out great!
