I know that I've promised to post my next Craftsy review... but I made some adorable cupcakes that I wanted to share! I wanted to make something fun, with decorations the kids can do, this was my test run... (I'll be bringing all the different pieces with me when I visit family so the kids can make them!)
What's more "4th of July" than fireworks?! So I made some fondant curly-cues to look like fireworks shooting out of the top! And of course, to make them extra special I started with white cake and made them red white and blue!
I also added some patriotic sprinkles to the top, just to make them a little more festive, and add to the "firework" effect. You would be surprised at how difficult it was to find red, white and blue sprinkles! I went to 4 different stores (that is dedication!)- 2 grocery stores and 2 craft stores, finally finding them at the 2nd Michael's that I went to! I ended up with the Wilton Patriotic Mix...
When I bake multicolor, layered cupcakes, I like to use the foil wrappers, then the colors are a surprise!
AND... I even video taped the process, so I could put together a little "how-to" video on my YouTube channel!
(if you are a subscriber to my channel, you may have noticed multiple upload notifications in your inbox... I apologize, I had "issues" with YouTube because of the Public Domain music I chose to use in my video! Finally, think I got it figured out though!)
Oh... And as a bonus, here is a cute idea! I've seen "cakes baked in mason jars" before and thought these layered cupcakes would be perfect baked into a petite mason jar! What better way to transport a yummy dessert to your picnic and fireworks?!
I hope you enjoy your holiday! My next post will be my next review of the Craftsy cake decorating classes!
Very cute!!!
