Cupcakes...

I have always wanted to learn to decorate cakes. So yesterday I went with my friend, Jennifer to Hobby Lobby and purchased a cake decorating toolbox full of fun tools. My goal is to be able to do my own cupcakes, cakes, etc. for showers and birthday parties. I starting practicing yesterday with designs and my skills have definitely improved in the last day! Here is a picture of the buttercream icing I learned to make. It has the best taste! I used it all up last night playing around with all the different "tips" that go on the icing bags. So I made another batch today and look at all the fun stuff I created!

These are devil's food cake with raspberry filling cupcakes. :)

I love how fancy you can make regular cupcakes!

I could NOT keep all these sweets here! Ha! So I took some to our neighbors, Bryan, Brittney, Jennifer and Philip.

I also played around and created a 3D banana for Grady. He's not too big on icing though! :) It's definitely not perfect, but not too bad for my first cake, huh? I have lots of showers and parties coming up! Hopefully my skills will save me some money!
