Fondant: A Living Nightmare

Maybe it's exaggerating, maybe it was because it was our first time with fondant, but now we know WHY they make pre-tinted. It's impossible to get a dark red without taking hours to do so. Stick to light colors or buy the already colored stuff!

Almost Cupcakes

He has a role in Almost, Maine; he can't feel pain, please welcome... JORDAN AS STEVE!









Aw, so cute! Oh, yeah, so are Kyra and Jordan.




A really low-flying bird's eye view of our cupcakes.




Above: the reason why we stayed up until 12:00 AM last night. Yes, yes, we SHOULD get to bed. I think we'll be dreaming of cupcakes and floating fondant hearts. Actually, the fondant part could very well be a nightmare. More on that tomorrow.


Hugs and cupcakes,

Our selection. You can special order cupcakes like these on our Facebook page!




Raise your hand if this pic makes you hungry.




Mmm. Raspberry filling. Mmm.



Kyra's take on the s'mores cupcake. It's a campfire with a marshmallow roasting over it.




Kim's take on the s'mores cake. We ended up using this one because it looked classy and was less complicated than Ky's.




A finished batch of Dirt Cupcakes. I'm hungry...




Hunger pains are kicking in...



Argh, what I wouldn't give for a cupcake right now....




Making the marshmallow filling for the s'mores cakes.




Now THIS makes me hungry.




Whisking



Pouring




and Mashing



KYRA: Dad, can't you see I'm busy? MOM: And then we dump it in...



Oldest K baking.



Younger K preparing.



Well, for some reason Blogger puts the pictures in the wrong order. I don't know why. Oh well. Hope we can bake again soon!

Very classy (and yummy) looking cupcakes. Can we go back, please? Now? SO HUNGRY...

Who wouldn't go in a cupcake shop with this guy right outside the door?






Mmmm. I'm hungry.






They look so perfect.





We're open... well, sort of.

I didn't think it would ever happen this fast. Double K Kupkakes is open! Actually, it's basically a lemonade stand but cupcakes along with lemonade. We definitely kept ourselves busy in the kitchen last night. Both of us were really tired afterward. But I guess it was worth it! We're going to bake one more batch today, then tell ourselves to not eat them, they're for sale, mix up some lemonade, and make a stand and be able to sell cupcakes for a while before the forecast rain comes at supposedly 2:00 PM. Yeesh.


DOUBLE K KUPKAKES ROADSIDE STAND

When: whenever we get this batch done - whenever we sell out and/or the rain comes
Where: In front of the K's house (sorry, the address is classified, just look until you see a cupcake stand)
Why: Because we want to
Price: A dollar each, three for two dollars


Hope you come!
