Hamburger Cupcakes Tutorial

I wanted to do something special for Independence Day. Everyone will be having picnics, so I thought hamburger cupcakes would be great to make! So here is a tutorial so you can make your own.  

Karate Cupcakes

Here are some cupcakes I made for a karate theme birthday party. The party was to take place at the dojo, and cupcakes were a less messy option than a cake. The only request given was that the karate uniforms on the cupcakes match the birthday boy’s uniform, which was black with red.

Lizards of Many Colors

I’m always looking for new animal designs to put on cupcakes, so I really enjoyed making these lizards! Since lizards can change their colors I had an excuse to make these as colorful as I wanted! I first made a heavy glaze and dipped the tops of the cupcakes in it to produce a smooth…

Mint Angel Food Cake

A great cake for St. Patrick’s Day! I’m sure it would look very nice next to a glass of green beer. First, I placed an angel food cake upside down on a cake board. Next, using mint flavored whipped topping (you can use Cool Whip and add mint extract and green food coloring.) I filled…

Race Car Cakes

I created these cakes for the store I work at. We offer a variety of novelty cakes, and I’m always working to create a new design. I came up with the race car because my father used to be a race car driver. Since first making this cake, I always use the number 82 because…

Apple Newton Cake

This is one of the first cakes I ever made, it has to be at least four years ago that I made it. I like to look back at my earlier cakes to see how I’ve improved. I still think this cake is pretty neat aside from the roughness about it. I remember the part…
