Tennis Cupcakes

Morgan’s tennis team had Leagues last week so they requested that we make them some tennis themed cupcakes. We started off by dying the batter blue but after it came out of the oven it looked a little green L.  We frosted them with blue for our school’s colors and added a tennis ball made out of fondant on the top.  To make the tennis balls we used store-bought fondant and died it yellowish green.  The team came out on top and won for the second year in a row.  Later, Morgan was also named the four-time Regional Champion in girl’s tennis, a school record!  Congrats, Morgan!

Springtime

We made these spring cupcakes based on some that we saw in Hello, Cupcake.  It’s actually much simpler than it looks.  All you have to do is cut mini marshmallows in half with scissors.  Then you dip the sticky side of them in colored sugar.  Next, you take a frosted cupcake and arrange the marshmallow halves like petals starting from the outside and going in.  We put a red hot in the center, but feel free to branch out and get creative.

Colorful Cupcakes

This week was our friend Ashley’s birthday, so we made cupcakes and brought them for her and our Advanced Art class.  Ashley is very creative; she was even voted Most Artistic by our senior class mock elections.  Her paintings are always really colorful, so we wanted to mimic that style in our cupcakes.  We filled them with chocolate frosting as an added surprise.
