So over the past couple of weeks I have made several sets of cakes and cupcakes. I just love cupcakes--they are quick, pretty, and easy to eat. Cakes--not easy to cut once you've spent 78865 hours decorating it. I have never felt like they do on Cake Boss--I don't make a cake and then as soon as I get there say "who wants some cake!!" No, in fact, it is often painful to cut a cake. So, I began making matching cupcakes. The first set was for a sweet friend--her father's retirement party. The pictures below make more sense when I tell you he owned a garage door business.

Matching cupcakes!
Wanna know a super easy way to fill all 24 cupcake lines is <1 minute. Here it is: the no-drip-super-awesome-cupcake-filler (thanks, Mom, once again for an awesome find!). Such a breeze. I don't even think I can remember how I filled cupcakes before. Seriously. This tool has certainly made my top-10 tools for bakers.
Get it.
On to more cupcakes I have made this week--
red velvet with
cream cheese frosting, chocolate-chocolate, and birthday cake with
buttercream. This buttercream recipes makes the perfect amount for 24-generously-iced cupcakes.
Happy baking!
