Friendly Frank Cupcakes...

 

 

 

I made these cute little Frankenstein cupcakes

for my mother-in-law who runs a daycare

and was having a Halloween party for

the little kids.

I simply used a box chocolate cake for these

as kids mostly just lick the frosting off anyways;)

I had some leftover fondant from the

Halloween baby shower cake I made

a few post back

and I just used that to make the little Frankenstein

people. Of course I had 5 boy versions & 3 girl versions

so there would be no fighting! (LOL)

Girlie Halloween Cake...

 

 

 

I made this cake for a friend of mine

We combined a bunch of different cake designs that

we saw online & took from those our favorite parts

& made the colors girlie.

 

I love this cake it was so fun to make & each detail

made it sweeter:)

 

The cake itself is all chocolate

The bottom tier is a 10" 2 layer with butter cream filling

The top tier is a 6" 3 layer with a 1/2 sport ball pan

to make the rounded head shape, all filled with butter cream.

 

 

 

DIY Fireman Halloween costume...

This is my son's Halloween costume from last

year...he just had to be a fireman & I didn't want

some cheesy Wal-mart fireman costume

so I came up with this

 

I got the coat from the goodwill its a mans

sport jacket.

Then I took some yellow duct tape

and did the collar, front, bottom & sleeves

like a real fireman jacket

I added the little ID badge from a dollar tree toy

and the American flag was an iron on patch

This is the back

 I used iron on letters

for his name

No fireman is complete without his firetruck

This is from a box

I painted it red added some black plates for the wheels

and yellow cupcake liners for the headlights

 

This is my little fireman on his party

 

This is him on Halloween night

trick-or-treating

while pushing his baby brother

isn't that just the sweetest?

 

 

Less messy sand...

 

What do we do on summer vacation?

we made colored sand from rice!

 

 

 

All we did was take some rice

scoop it into a baggie

and add a few drops of food color

Each kid had fun coating each grain of rice

in their desired color

 

I put it on some of my baking dishes and

we sat it outside in the hot sun to dry for an hour

then it was playtime!!

 

Here is the tutorial on how exactly to make it:

Party time with Elmo...

 

 

This is the cake I made for my little guy who turned 2!

He loves Elmo & I made him this big Elmo cake that

was so bright & colorful  then as I was

trying to snap a picture I hit the cake board

& it went right in the floor at 2AM!!!

 

What does a mommy do? I can't have my son disappointed on his birthday

& I wasn't about to spring for a yucky Wal-mart cake with no Elmo

So this mommy stayed up all night and re-made this cake...

 

 

Happy Birthday

to my baby boy ADAM

I love you!

Batman Cupcakes...

 

Today my middle son is 5 years old & he has two loves

in his life Batman & John Cena!

Since his party is centered around the WWE I am saving the

John Cena cake for that event (watch for that post!)

 I decided to go with Batman for his class party

I scored a great deal on the plates & treat bags at

Big Lots for only $.50!!!

Since his mommy is a baker I made him & all 18 of

his little classmates these batman cupcakes & packaged

them up individually.

The cupcakes are chocolate with a Vanilla Butter Cream

& hand made fondant batman faces!

These little suckers were very time consuming

5 hours on just the toppers!

But for one of mama's babies I would move mountains:)

 

 

Every year on my children's birthdays

I get out my giant cupcake pan & make

them each their own giant cupcake that

they can either eat or dive into face first!:)

this was Caden's batman giant cupcake!!

 

 

Happy Birthday Caden
