i've been wanting to share these cupcakes since the weekend, but my memory card crapped out! my sister took some great pics, but i had to wait for her to upload them! (thanks marie!) so here are emily's 6th birthday cupcakes! i went with lady bugs!
i used a grass tip on my pastry bag. a little advice(that i, of course, had to learn the hard way!): don't try to pack all of your butter cream into the bag and expect it to easily come out of this tip! i blew out 2 bags before i realized that!(that's what i get for rushing!) work in small batches!! the holes on this tip are small, and when you're trying to shove 5 lbs of frosting out of holes no bigger than a pencil point...you're going to have some problems!
i got the lady bug picks, picket fence papers and mini flower sprinkles from
shopbakersnook! this is a fabulous resource for bakers of all levels! prices are reasonable, selection is huge, and shipping is super fast! there are so many things out there now for anyone to take a favorite cake recipe or box mix and turn it into something special and unique.
everyone loved them!
and how about a side of goofball?
