Cupcake frenzy

These were made for Admin Professionals Day. I had a request from one of my co-workers to make these for their administrative assistant. I gladly obliged. I had a bunch of cupcakes to make during this week. The chocolate buttercream on chocolate cupcakes were for the admin.

   

They were very well received by the staff and I had people come by throughout the day and give me compliments. Interesting since I've brought in my chocolate cake made the same way and people have been pretty quiet on the matter. I did use the opportunity to try out my new icing tip for cupcakes. It's the biggest star ti I could find and it makes some really great looking cupcakes. During the same week, I was asked to make cupcakes for someone's birthday, by them. That's always weird to me. I sort of feel bad when someone orders their own cake or cupcakes and pays for them. Happens all the time though. These were gluten free cupcakes where I didn't even have to buy the mix. The birthday girl provided them for me, though I offered to make it from scratch. They wanted girly, so I recommended pink. Below is the result.

   

Looks girly enough to me. I dyed the cupcakes pink as well, so you couldn't get away from the color. I also found these really cool clam shell cupcake carriers at the cake supply place. They are awesome for storing and transporting cupcakes.
