Cupcake Fun

I had an incredibly fun night tonight. My 3 girlfriends came over and we went to town making some really fun cupcakes. I recently found a book at Alex's book fair at school on decorating cupcakes. So we got all the ingredients together and did two of those recipes tonight. I have to say that we did a pretty darn good job making them look like they did in the book. But more than that, we had SO much fun putting them all together.

Tammy mistaking Crisco for frosting... just kidding of course :)

Cupcakes right out of the oven

Going WAY overboard on decorating supplies

Our very yummy frosting being prepared

Our first recipe. Looks pretty weird here, but turns out looking much better.


Kaylene taking her turn putting on the "noodles"

Beccie taking a bite out of a meatball

Me, attempting to put some more noodles on


After all the noodles were finally done

Putting on the first few meatballs

A few more...

After a bit of Parmesan cheese, we have a finished product

Doesn't that look appetizing.... okay and maybe a little weird

The girls, showing off our finished product

Our next recipe was to make a complete dinner. Our first task were the chicken drumsticks.

Can't forget the veggies... peas and carrots

Some mashed potatoes with butter and gravy

And a little pudding for dessert


Here is our complete dinner.


I can't tell you how fun this was. I have many more recipes to make and cannot wait to do them. I ended up eating the mashed potatoes and Tammy tried out one of the spaghetti and meatballs. Both were very tasty, but gave us quite the sugar high. If you're interested in getting the recipe, let me know. It was very fun to make!

That looks awesome! What did you make the meatballs out of?

The book is called Hello, Cupcake! It is written by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson.

We made the meatballs out of Ferrero Rocher chocolates and put a strawberry preserve over it. Pretty realistic, huh?
