i always kind of wanted to learn how to bake and decorate baked stuff, but i don't really eat it so i never bothered. buuut now that i have someone who always can down a few cupcakes and cookies, i'm going to start.

i made some devil's food cupcakes this afternoon and i decorated them with black and white whipped buttercream frosting. a couple of the white ones, i sprayed with black food colouring paint to turn them gray and i added black sugar crystals (which look green to me?!) to a few of the cupcakes. i just did a basic swirl, and a couple of them came out terrible...but i think they look kind of nifty in the box either way.

next week i'm planning on making jumbo hello kitty cupcakes for my boyfriend's sister's birthday...we'll see how that goes, i'm envisioning my kitchen looking like a cake bomb went off in it, because it turns out i'm pretty messy when it comes to this baking thing.

my sis made me a hello kitty cake last year for my birthday, it was cute! and it had oreo cookies for the eyes and a pink bow made with frosting.

Aww, those are so pretty! I love them in the box too, may I ask, where does one get a bakery style box for personal use?

i wasn't really impressed with the taste, devil's food isn't sweet enough for me. if i'm going to eat something like cupcakes, i want them super sweet. my boyfriend and his partner came by and got a couple though, and they both loved them.

i got mine at allen party supply, so i suppose any party supply store would have them.

i was rinsing my sink out because i dropped some of the sprinkles and they turned my sink green. my mom said that you can't get that kind of topping in true black.

Those look so good. Really good. In fact, if I hadn't just run 6 miles, I would be going on a cupcake run.

MUST. FIGHT. URGE.

I think you should start a delivery service... I'll take two here at my desk in Vegas. :p

Plus, the swirly frosting tops reminds me of Van Gogh for some reason.
