Ending the Project

So, we're getting pretty close to the end of our project. To finish, we've decided we're going to make a bunch of cupcakes and hand them out to our neighbors next Saturday probably in the early evening, when it isn't too hot and everyone's back outside.
See you soon!

Day 9

Alien Invasion

Madeline

These were oober easy! All it was was dipping and then putting some stuff on. Since we didn't have chocolate covered sunflower seeds, I used chocolate chips and Linnea used black frosting. Very easy.

Day 8

Petits Fours

Madeline

I loved these before we made them! Very simple and sophisticated. I love them

Linnea

Very easy, simple, and awesome. Enough said.

Day 7

Knitting Needles

Madeline

I REALLY enjoyed these, being an avid knitter myself. I disagree with Linnea when she said that they were slightly difficult, because I found that you just had to get into it, and then it got much easier. VERY AWESOME!!

Linnea 

These were definitely not as easy as the book said they were, but they were a whole lot of fun and a bit frustrating. I tell you, there is a LOT of icing on those cupcakes. :)

Day 6

Sunflowers

Madeline
These were very whimsical and fun. The directions are a bit confusing when it comes to mixing the yellow and orange frosting, but they still looked wonderful!

Well....not the best. I mean, the concept of making sunflowers is REALLY COOL, but ours were nowhere near as good as the ones in the book. But hey, I guess that's normal, considering they're professionals. They do have Oreos, which makes them even better than other cupcakes.

Day 5

Pup Cakes

Madeline

Since we did not have those wafers, I tried using multiple Oreo cookies and "gluing" them together with frosting.... That didn't exactly work...... The marshmallow I used was to hold the snout up, because otherwise it would've fallen. We also did not have brown food coloring, so my frosting that was supposed to be golden-brown, ended up looking up, well, like poop. :( My bad(ish) review is only because mine did not turn out so great. I'm sure that if I had done what Nea had done it would've been fine. Good luck if you try!
2.5 Cupcakes

Linnea

These puppies were ADORABLE!! I thought I was going to ruin my dalmatian cupcake, but it turned out pretty good. We've definitely gotten better at cupcaking! :)

3.25 Cupcakes!

Note: On the days June 8th and 10th, we took days off from cupcaking, because our schedules did not allow it on those days. Please check the calendar below for more updates.

Day 4

Pandamonium

Madeline

These are so cute!! Instead of a chocolate covered sunflower seed, we made the noses be M&MS, so they would be more chocolately. The pictures in the book look amazing, so it was pretty much impossible for it to be perfect, but they are still adorable! I would DEFINITELY make these again.

4.5 Cupcakes

Linnea 

I can't believe just how adorable these pandas are. I messed up on my mouth, but my panda (the one on the left) still looks cute and cudly, like a teddy bear. I agree with Mad, these are definitely hit. 

5 Cupcakes

4.75 Cupcakes!

Banana Split

Madeline

Meh. I wouldn't make it again. 

1 Cupcake

Linnea

I really thought these were kinda cool, but, since we couldn't/didn't get all the elements (ex. the cherries, banana), it wasn't as awesomely awesome as it could be.
