Cupcake Project v1.0

Celebrating my own birthday is never a big to-do... but when it comes to other people's birthdays, mainly for close friends... I go all out (as much as I can) for them. And it also gives me an excuse to express my creativity. Thus, Cupcake Project v1.0:

Multicolored Cupcakes (White Cake + Neon Dye)

Double Chocolate Cupcakes (Devil's Food Cake + Mini Chocolate Chips)


(oopsies... I dropped the pan in the oven while checking, and sunk these poor mini cuppie cakes. And why are the cupcakes coming out all "dimple faced"?? Could be my messy pouring method.)

Cupcakes frosted with Basic Buttercream

And to finish off these yummy treats, I "created" a baroque-y classical style inspired cake/treat stand:

Tord Boontje

Hostess with the Mostess is an amazing site for contemporary entertaining ideas and some great gift ideas! But tonight, it has reconnected me with the past! Back in college, for a studio art class trip to the MOCA and the Geffen, the gift store displayed the AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL and purchase-able art of Tord Boontje. I WANT ONE.
