My First Attempt at Decorating Easter Cupcakes.

It wasn't a complete disaster, however, there is definite room for improvement.

ok, these are in no way perfect, I was just too excited to try them to plan my time a little better. But here goes:

Here are the vanilla cupcakes right out of the oven:

Then, I cut the graham crackers into "eggs" and fixed them to the top of the cupcakes with frosting.

After I decorated the eggs:

The finishing touches added. I will never use store bought frosting again though, it wasn't thick enough to decorate with properly for the "grass" underneath the eggs.

Overall, they turned out ok. I am disappointed that I had crappy frosting, but my lesson is learned and I will be making my own from now on.

So I'm starting a whole new blog

Just to share my adventures.

I am constantly wanting to learn new creative skills, like cooking, baking, sewing, crocheting. Well, ok, some of this I already do, but I like to take on new projects.

So here we go. Just keep in mind, I am new to some of these skills, so it might take me a while to get the skills even remotely close. But part of the fun of this for me, is sharing my progress with others :)

So sit back, enjoy the ride, and feel free to laugh if my final product still needs a little work. I do :)
