They're real, and they're spectacular.

I made these for a Holiday craft fair last weekend, and repeatedly was asked, "Are these REAL cupcakes?" I'll take that as a compliment. :)

These are mint chocolate chip with vanilla icing, and fondant holly berries.

fuzzy....was he?

"he really looks fuzzy!" or "he looks like an actual stuffed animal!" was the consensus of the comments i heard regarding my teddy bear cake. made for a baby shower with a teddy bear theme, it took a few more hours than originally planned to achieve the ultimate level of "fuzziness" that i aspired to reach. mission accomplished.

and the answer is no, he wasn't fuzzy. he was buttercream.
