Last week Jonathan celebrated his 17th birthday, his mom said that he played video games and I asked if Super Mario was one of them! I had so much fun making the toppers that I made extras!! I think I might start making toppers and start selling them. What do you guys think? Its great for those who want to bake but don't have the time to make toppers!!! Something to think about :)
Anyways, I made a mix of fondant covered and butter cream cupcakes. You'll notice that the butter cream and the fondant don't actually match, Its that damn butter with its yellow tint and on top of that I added the vanilla!! I don't like using shortening in my butter creams and the yellow from the butter made my blue into blue/green :(
Has anyone else run into problems when mixing colours? Well I hope you all come visit back on Thursday because I'm going to share a recipe for cake/cookie ballsl!!!
Here are the cupcakes!! Hope you guys like them!

Hi Manni Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteOh I absolutely adore these beautiful cupcakes with the Mario Brothers on them. They are SO darn cute. I bet Johnathan loved them. The mushroom ones were the cutest darn things.
Loved the other blue ones as well. Love the little pearl toppings. I so adore your work. I wish, there was a way for you to bake me a little cake for my birthday. I just know it would be gorgeous and tasty as could be.
Hope you have a beautiful week. Many hugs and much love sweetie, Sherry
