Needs Some Work

My chocolate coating skills that is... need some work.

I attempted the cupcakes from the previous post and this is how they turned out.

Here's a few of them, some completely covered and some still needing tops.

This one's bottom wasn't flat enough, so he wouldn't stand up.

Some yellow tops and some pink tops.

The night I made them I tried one and it was so sweet it just about put me out of comission for the night. (I love sweet things so this is not an easy thing to do) But the next day they tasted better, not as sweet. Pretty good actually, the hubby didn't mind them either. He just thought they looked awful. (Thanks hun)

Finally a sneak peak of something I've made for Natalie, my new niece. I'll post more pictures later, once she recieves the gift.

Good Intentions

I just had to post about something I'm hoping to make for Easter Supper on Saturday at my mother in laws.

I have all the supplies and the cake made to make these amazing looking treats from Bakerella.
I say amazing looking because I haven't made them yet so I don't know what they will taste like.

I would like to make these ones (scroll through the whole post, there are lots of very cute ones at the bottom), but since this is my first try I guess I should start easy, and Bakerella says the cupcakes are easier. The chocolate does not have to be as smooth on the cupcakes. But if I keep practicing maybe I'll get to the eggs and chickens and sheep.

I also have three pies to make but I made the dough this morning so I just need to cook two of the crusts tonight and slice and peel apples for the third pie tomorrow and bake it. Oh and I guess I should mop my floors. Well maybe I'll mop.. we'll see if I get around to it.
