Taking Baby Steps

    You'll remember that awhile back I wrote about wanting to learn to decorate cakes, and an update is in order as well as somewhat over due. I was put in charge of the cupcakes for my sister-in-law's wedding shower awhile back. I showed you my first attempt at making little flowered cupcakes but as a recap here's what the first batch looked like:

(White cupcakes with a basic buttercream frosting)

   These went over well with the taste testers (My older brotherk, TK(25) and his friends, but those boys heard free food and were salivating. That said it took some work to figure out how much pressure was needed on the piping bag to get a more sharp shape and working with the frosting to get a better consistency. The day of the shower the cupcakes didn't look too shabby!

Also, note the awesome cupcake tower we got at Hobby Lobby. The colors were much more vibrant and the cupcakes were perfectly moist. I think it came out great! Let me know what you think in the comments.
