We’ve already established that I am no cake decorator (although not quite a wreckorator either) so these cupcakes, while cute, are not super duper. They tasted great and that’s all that counts, right? I used a box mix, one specifically for cupcakes that only used egg whites, rather than whole eggs. It was delicious. The icing is also from a container, cream cheese icing, that I coloured 3 different ways and used mini zip loc baggies to pipe the flowers.
They were for my old friend Michelle who’s birthday was last Friday but she has a new baby Ruby attached to her boob and can’t go out like we normal people do. So we took the party to her beautifully renovated house and drank lots of free organic beer, pigged out on sushi and I got to hold a teeny baby. A super afternoon/evening.
The paperbag puppet is Rose, made by Ari.
ps. the part that I forgot to mention is that I gave Michelle/Ruby the first toy I ever crocheted, about 5 years ago. Oh, maybe not the first, but the first of this pattern and the only one where I followed the pattern exactly.
It’s about 12″ tall and I did remember to tell Michelle to remove buttons before handing it over to a baby!
cute :)
I ate half a cake made of this… very good… and Nefarious liked it so much that she took some of it to her summer camp to give to her teachers!
That’s always the best! My kids do that all the time…taking cupcakes somewhere to share.
MMmm. Ive been craving muffins for about a week now. Im wanting to eat my computer.
I should make some- these look so gooooooood. Hopefully I can find the cupcake mix you used!
not muffins -craving CUPCAKES!
oddly, the kids are eating fresh baked blueberry muffins in the kitchen right now!
It’s just…cupcake mix, it’s white cake with confetti sprinkles already in. I think Duncan Hines maybe? It’s oddly not on their website, even though my brain tells me that’s the brand. I have to admit, I am mystified!
Yeah, Marc picked up cake mix. Just not the same. Then we didnt have any eggs. I contemplated eating the container of icing but backed away.
Give me cupcake!
