Back For More!

I'm back! After a long break from posting, I decided I will once again shower the world with my creations!

Aren't they the cutest?

For July 4 my family celebrated my two sisters birthday who's birthdays happen to fall around independence day. I, now being known as the cupcake girl, volunteered (insisted) I would make cupcakes and cakeballs.
For those of you who don't know what cake balls are, they are the most heavenly confection.
This is where I originally heard of them, and ever since I (and everyone around me) have fallen in love.

Snow White Cupcakes

For the cupcakes, I made 24 snow white (vanilla with no egg whites) cupcakes, and around 30 black magic cupcakes. Of course what fun are cupcakes without decorating them? I seriously recommend the books Hello Cupcake and What's New Cupcake? I used a design from one of the books for the vanilla cupcakes, and I made up my own for the chocolate cupcakes.

Black Magic Cupcakes

The weather for the day I decorated them was terrible! The icing was pretty much melting, and it wouldn't keep a shape. But I forged on, and had to change some of the decorating. All in all it turned out pretty good, along with the 84 cake balls I made.

Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Here is the Black Magic Cake recipe, I used my normal vanilla  icing.
