So I have found a new love of making and decorating cup cakes. I know it is the newest fad but I have just had fun doing it. I like to make ones that look like different things. Here are some of my Halloween ones that I have done this year.

This one is a cat, how I did this one is I found a cat shape I liked, printed it out on my computer. Then I put some wax paper over the top of it and traced it with some black candy melts in a piping bag, then while it was still wet, I covered it with sprinkles.

This one was fun, I took one of those ice cube trays you can get at walmart right now for the holiday and I poured melted white chocolate into the molds. The silicone ones I have found to be the easiest because you dont break as much chocolate when you are trying to get them out. Then the RIP tombstone is from a fudgeshope grahm cracker and in white chocolate I piped on the letters. Covered the cup cake and chocolate frosting and coated with sprinkles.

These pumpkins were kind of an experiment. For the party I was doing them for I wanted something kind of cute instead of creepy.  So I melted down a bag of candy corns on the stove. Constantly stirring them or else they will burn. When they got to the consistancy of liquid, I poured the mixture out onto a sheet cake pan. I didnt grease mine but I wish I would have.  Then I waited until it was starting to harden and I got a cute pumpkin shaped cookie cutter and cut out the shapes. You dont want to wait until it is fully hard or you wont be able to get the cookie cutter in there. Then when it is fully hardened, you can break apart the peices to get your shapes.  Then the frosting is just cream cheese colored green and piped on to look like grass.

These rats were hilarious.  They took a lot of time, so if you really want to get ambishious then these are fun.  first you would cover the cup cake in chocolate frosting, then you would get a marshmallow, (just the regular size) cut part of it out for the mouth, then stick it on the frosted cupcake.  The inside of the mouth is some kind of red gum. the teeth are white chocolate piped on. and the ears, tail, hands, feet and eyes are all out of red tootsie roll. It is best to wait to put them in until they harden. 

These are just the beginning, hopefully we have some more fun posts soon. Thanks for visiting.
