Mmmm, cupcakes! |
So, having a husband who's a youth pastor makes for a lot of pizza, staying up all night (church lock-ins), and of course fundraisers. So, every couple months the youth serve lunch after church. $5 will get you a bowl of soup (this time my honey made a corn chowder-yummm!), a grilled cheese sandwich, a pop (yeah, I'm in Ohio now, I say pop) and a desert. When it comes to desert, people automatically look at me, which I don't mind. :) So, I'm baking 60 cupcakes. Sometimes it's a plus to have a small church. I bakes strawberry, lemon and funfetti.

Here they all are! (Notice our cupcake-aholic dog eyeballing them. He is totally waiting for me to blink, so he can steal one.) |

I really hate how the mixes never quite make 2 dozen (I always end up with 20. No matter what I do.) and the frosting never covers them all like I would like. So, I decided to go with just a dollop of frosting. I'm not over-joyed with how they turned out, but for $1.25, they're not so bad. :) |

This is how I started frosting them. Then, after I went through 1/2 1 can, having only frosted 8, I decided to cut back. That brought these... |
|
Still cute though! :) |

So, if you're anywhere in the Willard area, come to our church tomorrow, and support the youth group! |

So, my sweet hubby got me a frosting bag with a petal tip. I was thinking of adding roses to these, but the roses were harder than I thought. Plus I don't have all the right tools. So, I put it on one, to see how it would look. I love it. But I still need lots of practice. So, once I've mastered it, I'll post about that, and give you detailed instructions. Until then, this'll have to do! :) |
Crazy about the rose! You are very clever.
