X-mas Red velvet cupcakes

My first attempt at Red Velvet Cupcakes with creamy vanilla frosting. The rvc weren't at all what I thought they would be, I'm not sure if this recipe was converted correctly as the cupcakes didn't look at all at what I have seen on the web. W

The frosting recipe did do it's job but wasn't my taste at all, I like sweet on my cakes or nothing at all. The cream was just not sweet enough.

We gave lots away and everyone seemed to like them though except DH and I (I guess we've just been tasting too many good ones so we're getting picky ....)

Birthday Cupcakes

For a little 5 year old, daughter of a colleague. She said they were exactly how she wanted them (I was given strikt instructions ;) ..) and was happy for the large one I made especially for her.

Birthday Cupcakes for a girl at heart

A friends bday, she made us a yummy dinner buffet, I made her cupcakes ...

What kind of cupcake are you ?

I took a test at The Dozen Cupcakes Quiz (you can take the test by clicking on the link, let me know what kind of cupcake you are I'd love to know !)

And I'm a Copacabana Cupcake ....

"Pineapple vanilla cake, mango buttercream, rolled in coconut and topped with a pineapple wedge. Always in fashion!"

You are the life of the party, the belle of the ball... the frosting on the cupcake! You love to party, to socialize, and you are not afraid to make your own fun. People are drawn to your amiable nature and sense of humor, and you have never been known to badmouth a friend because you like everybody. The epitome of an optimist, you keep spirits up in dark times and your smile is infectious.

So what do you think ?

Babyshower for a baby boy

I helped out a friend (and got to try out one of my new food colors) in making & decorating some cupcakes for a baby boy shower and here are the results :

It's my party

And I wanted pink cupcakes (click on them if you want to see the pattern in the fondant) :D



And I've noticed that the baking & decorating cupcakes is almost as therapeutic as scrapbooking .....

Presents

Instead of giving a card I decided to make cupcakes with for the b'day girl and boy and hang/give the envelop with it. Looks cute huh ?





And one for me :D
