Calling All Cupcake Lovers

June 9, 2010 by girlinspired 38 Comments

Did you see the adorable cupcakes and mini-cake for Addie’s birthday party?  The body is made from a regular cupcake and the head is from a mini-cupcake turned on its side.  Ears and muzzle from mini-marshmallows, eyes and nose from chocolate-covered sunflower seeds, and tongue from pink Starburst candy.  I won’t say they weren’t time consuming, but I will say that they were worth the trouble!   I found the how-to in this book: Hello! Cupcake.  I could seriously look at this book for hours.  It has so many incredible ideas.  Just Love it!!
 
For the mini-cake, I just adapted the idea for the cupcakes into a larger version by using bigger cupcakes and regular sized marshmallows!  Instead of the chocolate covered sunflower seeds or Starburst tongue, I piped on the eyes, nose, and mouth.  I didn’t want her to choke! It turned out sweet!  I love it when things work out like that!

    These are adorable! They are some of the best puppy caupcakes I’ve ever seen. I have a little Yorkshire Terrier I’d love to recreate in cupcake form, so will have to try this. All I’ve been able to do is bake my dog actual doggie cupcakes. You can see them here: http://www.madewithpink.com
