Cupcakes Made By Hannah & Madelyn

Monday, May 24th, 2010

I have the two most wonderful nieces in the world.  This weekend we had fun with cupcakes!
First we started with unfrosted Hannah Banana and Vanilla cupcakes.

Then we made some frosting in beautiful colors!

Then we had a quick lesson on how to use a pastry bag and tip for frosting.
That is a difficult thing!  ”Not as easy as it looks, Aunt Mimi!”
So we frosted some with tips and some with knives.

The best sort of fun came with the sprinkles!

red velvet

A friend recently traveled to Minnesota, visited a cupcake shop and sent us these photos.  He said the black velvet was DELICIOUS!

Thanks for checking it out for us!  Hopefully we’ll get to visit sometime!
