We've been on a cupcake baking spree this month. Tiffani made snowman cupcakes for her yearbook class party. We made skeins of yarn for complete with knitting needles for my friend Julie on her birthday and we all helped out in making a Christmas Tree to bring to Grandma J & Grandpa Ron's for Christmas Dinner. Now, for some reason there aren't many pictures of the process of making the creations this time, but at least I remembered to take a picture of the completed yummies!
Here are the snowmen - I did get a picture of the hats, made from chocolate wafer cookies and then the little end was stuck into the side of the cupcake.
Tiffani is imitating the snowmans little "O" mouth.
The bunch of snowmen.
The Skeins of yarn and the little balls of yarn. The needles are pringle sticks dipped in white chocolate and topped with a smartie. The yarn cupcakes - 100% edible! :)
And finally - The Christmas Tree. It has been the easiest to make - not a lot of parts & pieces, but it was definitely the most difficult to transport! Yikes. We bought the cupcake display thingy just for this tree, but it will sure be nice for other cupcakes, too. Also gotta love the 40% of coupons to JoAnn's! :) The 'pine needles' are green melting candies from JoAnn's also, just melted and then piped out into zig zag lines on wax paper. Let that harden & then break into pieces and place around the edge of the cupcakes. White sprinkles for snow and cinnamon candies for lights. We were going to use mini m&m's so we'd have colored lights but we couldn't find ANY!! The group effort - Brianna frosted, I sprinkled snow, Tiffani did the pine needles and Les did the lights. :)

Very nice cupcakes - all of them. I like the group effort....I really do! Wish I could be part of that group sometime. I think it would be fun. I really liked the yarn ones.
