We had Chris' family over to celebrate his birthday yesterday and I was dying to make cupcakes since I bought my Hello Cupcake! book. The plan was to make Chris a Spurs inspired cake made of cupcakes. I went to the grocery store and discovered that there isn't a lot of black and white candies so it turned into red cupcakes. I started adding food coloring to white frosting and after using the whole bottle, I was only able to get it a dark pink. Sheesh! Cupcakes are harder than they seem. After working on the cupcakes for a while I recruited Chris to help put the candy on some of them. Can you tell which ones he decorated? He did 8 of the ones below.
Becca was wondering if Chris was preparing for the ACT. The "A" is for Abish, "C" for Chris, and "T" for his brother Taylor. He also had fun putting the eyebrows and hair on the smilie face and thought he was pretty clever having a fish above waves.
The cupcakes were pretty good. If you want to make good cupcakes better, add sour candy to them. Yum!
You have to check out the cupcakes in this book. They make it look so easy but after the cupcakes I just made, I'm hesitant to try more. I guess I better start practicing before I have kids.
