Projects: Lotta Projects...

Wow, I fail at being consistent.

I've been doing quite a few projects, few of which have been worthy of pictures. But some have.

Project Elmo Cupcakes.

Should have made fondant noses. Now I know. And now I also know that I need to stick with the other method of marbleizing cupcake batter so I don't crease the papers and make them all different sizes.

Project Friggin' Delicious Kahlua Frosting.

The recipe called for a few tablespoons of Kahlua. I put in about 1/3 cup. =) And I looooved the box. I wish I had more of those stickers.
Project Cute Little Cake.

I think this is one of the cutest ones I've ever done. =)

Project Yo Gabba Gabba Cupcakes.

Soooooooo fun to make!!

Project Yo Gabba Gabba Cake (obviously same project as above).

The little robot guy (I believe his name is Flex) was my favorite. =) Random tidbit of information, our housemate looks and acts like a Hispanic version of the guy on this show. And I love the word "tidbit."

Project 'Nother Flower Cake.

I loved the little rose buds on the bottom two tiers, but man... that bead border! And I still have no idea how the pros make their buttercream completely smooth. This is why I need/want to go to school to learn. (Although I did make my most amazing bead border a few days ago... and forgot to take a picture of that cake)

Project Music Cupcakes.

I made the notes out of milk chocolate. So much yummier and easier than fondant! I'm trying to start doing more with melting chocolate. Kind of expanding my hypothetical portfolio.

Project Guitar Cake.

This was the size of an actual guitar. I had a mental breakdown in the middle of it, but I was quite happy with how it turned out. The knobs are Rollo's. =) This was my first cake that required an actual piece of wood as a base. Yay for Home Depot! I was going to use embroidery floss for the strings so they were straight, but the floss was all creased and it was to late to iron it. So I ended up just piping them with frosting. And I got to use food coloring spray paint. When I can afford it, I want to buy my own gun for the food color spray, but they cost too much for the moment.

Project Surprise My Mommy Cake.

...This is the one I forgot to take a picture of. I made white chocolate daises for it. Her favorite. =)

Project Cake Pops.

These were fun! You make a cake, crumble it up, mix the crumbs with the frosting, form it into balls by hand, jam in the stick, and pour melted chocolate on top to help secure the stick.

Not everything has been cake-y, though. I've also started cooking and cleaning more, but no pictures of that. It's not as cute. I've been trying to spend more time with people, too. Been seeing my family. Going out with my bff now that she's back on this side of the country. Oh, and I'm back working with the youth group at my old church. Those kids keep me young. =)
