Here are some of my past creations. I can't take all the credit however... I bought the book Hello Cupcake, and have used many of their recipes. I definitely recommend this book! It is a great resource that shows that you don't need all the fancy pastry bags & tips to create great cupcakes.
Caterpillar (for baby's first Birthday) and a slice of Kiwi fruit Close-up on Kiwi slice. Used candy-coated licorice bits for the "seeds"
Cupcake Tower
Owls & Acorns
Corn-on-the-Cob with "butter & salt"!
Tennis balls & rackets
(note the casualty from transport!)
Next up- Garden Cupcakes
Popcorn mini-cupcakes (realized almost too late that I hadn't taken a photo. I had donated these to a bakesale & took the pic while they were out on the table to be sold!)
Sunflower cupcakes (with ladybugs!)
From above, the Owls, Acorns, Corn-on-the-Cob, Popcorn, Garden & Sunflower cupakes were all based on recipes from the Hello, Cupcake book. (See link above.) If you're curious on any of the cupcakes you've seen above, leave me a comment/question.
