Sushi Cupcakes

These cupcakes were made for my friend Susies birthday. They were made with boxed red velvet cake, 12 ounces of diet Dr. Pepper and 2 egg whites. We were on weight watchers a few years ago together and found the recipe on the Weight Watchers website. They tasted really good even though the recipe sounds kind of weird, No one knew the difference. I used Fat Free Cool Whip for the frosting and they also have a Cheesecake pudding glaze, which was made with cheesecake flavored Sugar Free Fat Free Jello instant pudding mix and fat free milk. The 'Sushi" was made with Rice Krispies treats cut in half length wise and then dipped in white chocolate and coconut flakes. Then i put some Swedish fish on top and wrapped a sour power strip around them and secured those with a toothpick. She loved them! =]

I had to use toothpicks because I didn't have enough "seaweed" =\

But it was for a friend so she didn't mind =]

I made her a "spa" gift basket with a homemade brown sugar body scrub..

All ready to go =]

Cupcakes!

I haven't posted anything new in a while.. To be honest I got kind of lazy here after going on vacation and having my laptop crash.. But I have been baking away! Here are some cupcake pics and i'll have something new up in the next few days! =D

Pool Table Cake

I have to make a pool table for a surprise birthday party.. for 80 people! So I decided that I needed to practice since I've never made a pool table cake and especially because its for so many people and I wanted to be sure that I would be able to do it, I think I'll be able to. =] I'm happy with the way it turned out. I know that its a little bit less neat than I would have liked for it to be but for the first one.. I'm proud of it!

Here are some pics:

The balls..

They're actually cupcakes =D..

I even made some chalk..

UPDATE:

This is the actual cake that I made for the party.. which came out MUCH better! (except for the water spot that my mother got on it!) The fondant was smoother, the balls came out better and most importantly the cake tasted better!

Pink Cupcakes

I made these for my cousins communion.. I am so happy with how they came out! Everything was made from scratch except the sprinkles. The cake is chocolate, the frosting is vanilla butter cream and the fondant is homemade with marshmallows. I decided to try making the fondant because the store bought pre-made one tastes really terrible, this one tasted like Lucky Charms marshmallows. It was a little bit sticky to work with but fondant usually is. Here are a few pics.. Tell me what you think! (=
