Halloween-themed cupcakes!

These are Halloween-themed cupcakes I made for two separate Halloween parties! The orange/white/yellow ones were candy corn themed, the black/orange/white ones were just basic Halloween themed, and the purple/green/black ones were monster themed!

Pink swirly cupcakes

Today I made these pink swirly cupcakes for a breast cancer awareness event. I don't usually ice cupcakes this way, but since I learned how to do it in my cake decorating class, I decided to try it with these cupcakes. I think it turned out pretty well! The cupcakes themselves are strawberry, so as to continue with the pink theme. :o)

Roses, apple blossoms, rose buds, and primroses

I learned how to make roses, apple blossoms, rose buds, and primroses in my cake decorating class tonight! I plan to practice making more of them in the coming week. There are only two weeks left in this class, then I can either take one week off, and then start the fondant classes, or I can take the one-week class in between class #2 and class #3 and take the Tall Cakes class, where I learn how to make a three tier cake! I am still debating on if I want to take that class or not. It might be fun!

Cookie Monster!!

Today, I decided I wanted to make a Cookie Monster cupcake. Well, I decided a few days ago, but I finally went to the store today and bought some cookies and other things so that I could finally make them! Cookie Monster was super fun to make and I think he turned out pretty well!

Next on my agenda: Elmo, Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch!

Button flowers and pansies

Tonight was the first session of my second set of cake decorating classes. This class focuses on beginning to learn how to use fondant and how to make different types of flowers. I had a lot of fun in tonight's class and here are photos of the two flowers I learned how to make!

Pompom flowers, shaggy mums, and ribbon roses

I recently learned how to make some new types of flowers in my cake decorating class. These are my first attempts! I am hoping to get more practice with these later this week after I buy more supplies for icing and cupcakes.
