Project, Shmoject - Double-Decker Cupcakes

So a friend and I needed to create an edible cell for our class. The cupcakes turned out great. The pictures did not. SAD STORY. However, I am still going to post how we did them, because it is super cute, and ridiculously easy. (:


1. Make tiny cupcakes and take the baking cups off. This way the frosting won't get all over the paper and make a sticky mess. You can also make brownie bites as well; its just as adorable, and oh-so-yummy.

2. Bake normal sized cupcakes and then let everything cool.

3. Frost the larger cupakes. It's harder to frost them if you stack the cupcakes first.

4. Stick a toothpick in the center of the larger cupcake. Then set the smaller cupcake on top of that.

5. Frost the top cupcake, add sprinkles, and enjoy!

New Beginnings - White Sprinkled Cupcakes with Chocolate Filling

In a couple days, it will be my dad's birthday, and in honor of this, like always, I baked cupcakes. After seeing the finished product, he suggested I make a blog.
So here we go; it’s a new beginning. <3

Everything you need:
Cake mix & ingredients, frosting, food coloring, pudding mix & 2 ½ cups milk, sprinkles, and a knife.

White cake with sprinkles in it is great for birthdays, and everyone loves the flavor. Just pick out some cute cupcake cups and follow the directions on the box. While the cupcakes are baking, go ahead and make the pudding mix as well so that it will be ready when the cupcakes are done.

After the cupcakes are baked and cooled, cut a cone shape out of the middle of the cupcakes. Point the knife diagonal into the cupcake so that the largest part of the cone is the very top of the cupcake.

Fill the cupcake with a scoop of pudding. Cut the tip of the cone (that was cut from the cupcake) off, and place the top back on. You can save the yummy tips that were cut off and snack while you decorate.

Now all that’s left to do is frost and sprinkle! I colored my frosting light blue then frosted my cupcakes by making a flower shape, and then another on top. I also used pearl-looking sprinkles for a dainty touch. Enjoy! J
