Cupcakes




The carrots were out of homemade marshmallow fondant for the carrot cake cupcakes, and the chocolate ones....those were funny. I generally use a box mix to make the cakes with, but make my own buttercream icing and fondant. I actually melted chocolate chips for this chocolate icing before I realized I could have used cocoa powder! But they were good!
I still haven't mastered meringue buttercream...the first time I used the "boxed" egg-whites-only because they were pasturized (worried about sickness) but found out that for that reason, they wouldn't stay up, and kept falling when adding the butter. If anyone has an easy one, pass it to me and I'll try it out!
