Cupcakes

This summer, while visiting family, I tried my hand at cupcake decorating. I made some simple, yet cute, cupcakes for my sister.



Mmmmm . . . they were so yummy. Except the bears. I used gumpaste - not so tasty!


Just this past weekend I made some more cupcakes for a friend's baby shower. It was so humid I thought the icing was going to melt right off the cupcakes. I'll have to keep that in mind next time. Plus, I don't think I used the right icing tip? I don't know. I have a lot to learn - but it was FUN!



I used fondant for these flowers! Yummy!




I used lots of tips from these two sites:
