Cupcakes!


Today during Conference sessions we made these cool fondant decorated cupcakes. I read about them on Pioneer Woman and decided to give it a try. I found a great fondant recipe on the internet, and much to my surprise, it worked! I had never even tasted fondant before so I had no idea how it should turn out. This whole thing appealed to me because it looked more like a craft project than a baking project. The kids had a great time creating the designs. It was kind of like playing with playdough only more edible. However, when we ate the cupcakes, we just peeled off the fondant. It's better as a decoration.


Here's the whole bunch arranged into a heart by Erin.
Kevin decorated the cupcakes on the top left and the bottom right.

The above comment is not Kyle, it is Sharla!!! Kyle would never say something like that, or comment on fondant cupcakes. There has to be a fish in the picture for Kyle to even view it!!

I loved Sharla's comment above. I totally read Kyle's message and thought...huh? So I re-read it a second time and was still stumped! Then I read Shonka's comment and it all made sense! Too funny.
