Swaps..

I'm in a swap mood. I'll have to look for some good ones..

Surprise cupcakes tutorial!

I love those cutie little cupcakes disguised as ice cream. I just love them! "I got this idea from watching one of my new Strawberry Shortcake DVD's called 'Cooking Up Fun'. I've watched it like 4 times already! It's so cute! In the second episode (there's 2), Strawberry and her friends decide to make a cooking show...and broadcast it across Strawberryland. Blueberry Muffin teaches us how to make ice cream pie, Angel Cake makes fudge, Strawberry Shortcake makes cookies on a stick, and Orange Blossom makes her ice cream cone cupcakes! They give you the actual recipes and everything! "There's actually 2 ways to make them. You can either fill the cones with cake batter OR you can pour the batter into muffin tins lined with baking cups and then just place the cone on top and bake. I chose the latter because they make a much bigger top. I took some pictures for you to see my progress. Tonight was Birthday Night at youth group so I made these instead of our normal cupcakes. The kids really liked them! I even put chocolate chips inside for an added surprise! I used 4 tubs of frosting instead of 2 (I made 2 boxes=48 cupcake cones)! They were also pretty difficult to transport. I think I'll buy some Styrofoam boards and make ice cream cone-sized holes for next time! My own little invention! It was a lot of effort, but totally fun!"
