Winter, Spring, Summer, & Fall Cupcakes

   Well its the end of Winter. Almost the beginning of spring. Summer is on its way. Fall is my favorite time of year!
  I got to celebrate all 4 seasons with these cupcakes for a birthday party for the Rockville ward Relief Society.
Best cupcake day ever!

St. Patrick's Day Cupcakes 2015

     This year I fell in love with these little leprechaun hats. I was inspired by this blog post. http://www.munchkinmunchies.com/2011/03/granola-for-st-patricks-day.html. I used Mini Nilla wafers and mini M&Ms,the gold coins are Smarties sprayed gold with Wilton color mist. Here is one way to get the frosting rainbow swirl. http://nikissweetside.com/how-to-make-rainbow-cupcakes/.  I used the plastic wrap method.

"And the Award goes to...."

   Chocolate cupcakes with red vanilla frosting and gold and red colored sugar, to represent the red carpet. The award figure is made from Sour Patch Kid candy spray painted with edible gold mist and a Rollo on top of a candy coating disk. Theatre themed candy mold in black candy coating. http://www.partypinching.com/parties-holidays/oscar-party/  These cupcakes are for a youth film festival.

Whoopie Pies

 

 

http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/WhoopiePieHistory.htm This is the recipe I followed.
 These Whoopie pies bring back memories of My Aunt Marilyn. I have said this before, I have a lot of childhood memories wrapped up in food. The smell of coffee reminds me of my Grandpa Andy. Roast beef in the oven brings me back to my Nana's kitchen.
