blog that is- heh heh heh.I made this darling little mirror last night for Alizabeth's room. Her colors are blue, lime and purple. She loves it- and I spent a good amount of time on it - so she'd better! LOL!
I used bobunny dot cardstock, lots of assorted bobunny rubon flowers and some new stampsI bought this week I had to try out from inkadinkado.
lots of foam tape, gems and some rick rack and plain lime ribbon.
another one of those awesome buys from the dollar store- it was a frame with a mirror- in plain white.
next comes the wonderful cupcakes that I made yesterday.
I'm sad to say my new icing recipe didn't work out- the stuff took over an hour and a half to get to the right temp and then it was more like fudge then anything I could make into frosting. soooo- into the fridge- and onto some sundae's later on-
it wasn't a total waste- at least it's still usable- and the flavor is wonderful- but it's not for putting on cakes.
these are the cupcakes that i made, the cake recipe is a dolled up box cake recipe.you add 3 eggs, 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup veg. oil, 1 tsp vanilla, and 3/4 cup water to a box of devils food pudding in the box mix.
these are very moist- just wonderful!
the recipe I went to for icing - I just used my standard icing recipe-
1 cup shortening
1.5 cups butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tblsp vanillaand 1 cup chocolate chips melted
1-2 pounds of confectioners sugar
cream the butter/shortening with the heavy cream and the melted chocolate, then add in the 10x sugar til you get a consistency you like.
the cake stand idea i got from semi homemade on food network. Sandra took bowls and plates to make her stand tiered.
so I took a bowl turned upside down, a teacup plate and a ramekin, and layered them on my cake stand to bring up my cupcakes.
if I were doing this for a party-I would have used a bit of icing to secure them to the stand better, they were a bit shaky. course- if I had used less icing piled on the cupcakes- I could have
used a salad plate and had more room.but everyone in this family likes more icing then cupcake! LOL!
and finally for the last pic of the day.
