white baptism cupcakes

i made these over the weekend. so white and delicate. the frosting and sprinkles remind me of lace. i used a mini star tip, crystal sprinkles, and large pearl nonpareils.

i made these cupcakes for my sister's birthday. i think they turned out pretty cute. the flags were so easy to make. i just cut up little pieces of scrapbook paper and attached them to toothpicks. fun and PINK!

1/2 cup butter {1 stick}, softened
1 8 oz package of cream cheese, softened
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar
1 small package of banana pudding mix

beat the butter, cream cheese, & vanilla together. add the powdered sugar and banana pudding mix and beat until well blended.

cotton candy cupcakes

i made these cute cotton candy cupcakes for a sugar & spice party i hosted a few weeks ago {to see more pics of the party and my candy buffet go to my party site, here}. they were really yummy, and tasted a lot like cotton candy!

how to:

first i added 1 1/2 containers of blueberry yogurt to my white cake batter...

then added a little cotton candy flavoring {you can also add actual cotton candy to the batter, i just didn't have any on hand}...

the frosting was cream cheese with cotton candy flavoring {and blue food coloring gel}.

after all was said and done i rolled the edges in clear candy sprinkles & added a cotton candy topper {found on ebay}.

penguin cupcakes

i made these baby penguin cupcakes for my sister in law's shower last saturday. she's having a girl (hence the pink frosting). the penguin's are made out of keebler cookies, tic tac's, and bubble tape cut into triangles :). i stuck heart shape pics into them to match the shower theme.

apple cupcakes

these apple cupcakes were super easy and too cute! i covered the cupcake in vanilla frosting, rolled the top in green sprinkles, inserted a pretzel stick & mint leaves, & then used a child's fork to take a 'bite' out of it & added three brown sprinkles for apple seeds (i wanted to use sesame seeds but only had the light colored ones). aren't they adorable?!
