Faceless

It's been a long time since I've seen a picture like this around here...

And I must say, the frosting is looking a TON better now. I'm finally figuring it out :) Though because I want to practice the cute swirl, I haven't done much fancy decorating on the tops.

So these guys are called faceless cupcakes because we were given the assignment at Church to bring a treat with a face. And after days of thinking about what to do, I came up with nothing. Not one single idea. So they have stripes and spots-- bodies with no faces...

But they are pretty cute, if I do say so myself :)

Jack-O-Lanterns

Isn't it amazing that it's already the end of October??? Seriously though. Crazy! For Halloween, I decided to make... CUPCAKES :) I never really got into the whole carving pumpkins/costumes and whatnot, but I tried to be a little festive with pumpkin cupcakes. They don't taste like pumpkin because I thought that was more for Thanksgiving, but they almost look like them:

And Marcus obviously had some fun decorating the pumpkins too

We have Jack-o-lantern cupcakes!!! Can you guess which one is my favorite???

Do you spy Jack the Pumpkin King? the pumpkin that's a basketball for Halloween? a pig? Ron Weasley? Ha.

Here's my favorite... Obviously :)

And Marcus' favorite. "He says RAWR!!!"

Snickerdoodles

This time, I made snickerdoodle cupcakes in cute leopard print liners for Juliana's birthday. And I loved these :) They were cinnamon cupcakes with cinnamon frosting. Yum! And they even looked cute this time. Or at least cuter than the last time for just simple frosting. I always make Marcus choose the ugliest cupcake and try that one. That way, no one sees the ugliest one, and I know for sure if they taste decent. He approved of these. :)

I finally got a little better at frosting them!!! Hopefully next time around they're even better :)

Chicago was sad that I wouldn't let her get close to the cupcakes.

And I had these really cool candles that have different color flames. So I used those on the birthday plate for Juliana.

You can kind of see it in this picture.

YAY CUPCAKES.

I think I have a cupcake problem. Haha.
