Snowflake cookies

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. These are some snowflake cookies I made. I did alot of other sugar cookies, but forgot to take a picture before they were all gone.

I used a foodwriter on the faces for these. Much easier than trying to do it with icing. I let the icing harden overnight, then put them in the freezer for a while.
When they had warmed up, I used the writers. No bleeding...... I just hate when it bleeds onto the other color.

Hope everyone has a great New Year.

Christmas cake

This is a pic of a christmas ornament cake I made. The cake is made in a 2 quart pyrex bowl. That gives you the rounded look. It is a white cake with red and greem jimmies mixed in.

3 D snowmen cupcakes

I bought the new 3D snowmen pan from Wilton. These are really fun to do. A little time consuming, but they turn out really cute.

3-D Halloween cookies

These are 3 D halloween cookies I made. They are done with cookie cutters from William-Sonoma. They are fun to do.

Chocolate cupcakes

These are this weekends cupcakes. They are chocolate mint. The icing is chocolate buttercreme with mint flavored coffee creamer used instead of milk. It's a very mild mint taste, but you can taste it.

Pittsburgh Steeler Cupcakes

I'm from Pittsburgh, so I had to make some Steeler cupcakes.
They are pumpkin cake with black and gold buttercreme icing.
I'm sure these will be a hit at the game.

Labor Day cupcakes

These are chocolate banana cupcakes I made for a labor day picnic. I used a devils food cake mix, and added a box of banana pudding.
The icing recipe is from a Paula Deen recipe book. I also added a few drops of banana oil to the icing.
They are delicious.........

More blueberry

These are the blueberry cupcakes I did for my family. I decided to stripe the bag when I iced these ones. They are the same recipe as the previous blueberry cupcakes.

Blueberry cupcakes

I made these blueberry cupcakes for a meeting I was going to. I used a white cake mix, added fresh blueberries, and a 1/4 cup of CoffeeMate blueberry cobbler creamer.
For the icing, I made buttercreme icing and instead of adding milk, I added the liquid blueberry cobbler creamer, and topped them with chopped blueberries. They were very good.

Birthday cupcakes

These are cupcakes I did for my sisters husband. They were a variety of chocolate, yellow, and funfetti cake mixes. They were fun to do. I also made the red,white,and blue cookies that said Happy Birthday.

Strawberry/banana cupcakes

I made these cupcakes this weekend. I added a box of banana flavored pudding to a strawberry cake mix. They were very good. The icing is vanilla. All I had to do was add a fresh strawberry and a few dried bananas and dessert was ready.

Welcome

Welcome to my cupcake etc. blog. I love to make cupcakes. I like to come up with ideas of things to put into the regular cake mixes to jazz them up. Some of them turn out very well, and others are just not that great.......
Hope you enjoy the posts.
