Thanksgiving Cupcakes!

So... I know that I blogged about Christmas the other day- but don't worry! I haven't forgotten about Thanksgiving. Here are some adorable cupcakes to brighten your Turkey day!

Start by baking any flavor cupcakes (I LOVE lemon!!).

While those are cooking, grab some coconut flakes, and brown them in a pan. This is a bad example picture, I have WAY too much in the pan...which I learned the hard way. =)

After your cupcakes are cooled, frost them - and top them with a Toasted Coconut Marshmallow (they come in that flavor!!). Wet a toothpick, and poke two small holes for eyes (chocolate sprinkles) and a bigger hole for the beak (a swedish fish!)

Next, sprinkle with your toasted coconut!

Add either AquaLife swedish fish or candy corn for tail feathers. SO easy, and just too darn cute!

Cupcakes = Pure Joy!

I ADORE cupcakes. They are adorable and so fun to make!

                                We even had them at
                                  our wedding!!



Well, tonight I made some chocolate cheesecake brownie cupcakes and oh boy, they were DELICIOUS!

Elmo Cupcakes

My toddler is obsessed with Elmo- he has his bday party earlier this week and I decided to make some cupcakes.

So, here are my elmo cupcakes. I'm pretty proud of myself. The pictures don't do them justice... cuz my camera can't quite capture the "fur" which looked awesome...if i do say so myself. =) I started with white cupcakes Made some eyes! (white necco wafers and black gel frosting) Piped on the fur. I LOVE piping. I never knew... Added a nose... Attached the eyes... And finally...the mouth. Which was a pain. I really wanted to do the mouth with black pull&peel twizzlers....but apparently they don't make those anymore. So... after much deliberation I went with chocolate sprinkles.
