I'm guessing you've all heard of Cupcake Wars, right? Well, if you haven't, it's a show on Food Network that puts cupcake bakers to the test by having them bake cupcakes that are reviewed by the judges. The contestants get eliminated one by one. The last baker standing is the winner.
FIRST:
The new season premieres tonight at 8 on Food Network. Don't be late!
SECOND:
Cupcake Wars was mostly my inspiration for this cupcake business. My mom and I started watching it a lot, and that's how I got into cupcakes. Yay Cupcake Wars! Planning on watching the new season premiere tonight!

Chocolate Stout Cupcakes
He licked off all of the frosting and then bit into it. He said that they were... and I quote... "yummy". I can't believe we impressed this top-notch food critic!

A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
Actually, two. First, I honestly hope you've noticed that our wallpaper has changed. Second... WE'RE GETTING A NEW CAMERA!!!
At this point, you might be thinking: 'Sound the trumpets. Whoop-dee-doo.' in that sarcastic tone we know you have somewhere in you. But it's a big deal for us. Plus, you'll get to see what our cupcakes look like without the added 'speeding in my car while taking this pic' look. Can't wait!

Today's Headline: RECITAL CROWD WOWED BY DOUBLE K!
Rockin' Raspberry goes incognito as the fancy Raspberry Ritardando at my mom's students' piano recital.
The biggest hit of the evening was Rhapsody in Red- red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. We were surprised that it stole the show. 'Note' the black fondant decorations.
This was our first real catering job... oh, who cares that we didn't get paid?! We got paid in compliments... man, I'm cheesy. We knew it went well when people were talking more about the cupcakes than the performances... not that they weren't amazing. A typical conversation went like this:

Our CRAZY Cupcake Adventure
You might remember my cousin Billy from the earlier post. Well, last Thursday was his birthday and last Saturday was his Toy Story birthday party! Of course, Double K provided dessert-Billy's request being chocolate cupcakes with blue frosting.
The character decorations were made of fondant. I made most of the characters. Mom made Woody's bandana, the aliens, the three, and Rex the dinosaur. She thinks he looks weird. Uncle Jeff made the star.
See, Rex looks awesome! Now take a close look at Mr. Potato Head's expression. Priceless!
All of the cupcakes, plated.
We finally presented the cupcakes to Billy.
"What character is that?"
"It's Woody!" Aww.
"I eat Woody's face!" -Billy
Billy's brother Pablo was there too. He enjoyed some chocolate cupcake- note the tiny crumbs.
Is this a sign that we make yummy buttercream?
No one sees me eating Mr. Potato Head's face, right?
Bus-ted.
High-five!
