Our Cupcake Debut

We are two high school seniors that love to bake.  Last summer we started making cakes together and when school started we switched to cupcakes because they are easier to transport and share with our friends.  Every month we bring in different creatively decorated cupcakes.  We like to decorate them based on what holidays are in that month.

These are the cupcakes that we made this January.  Since there are no big holidays in January, we just used a winter theme.  The next couple posts are just going to be pictures of cupcakes that we have made in the past few months.

To get this effect, first we died the cake batter blue with food coloring.  Then after we had filled the cupcake papers, we put a drop of food coloring in each one and swirled it with a toothpick.
