Cake Decorating--Cupcakes

Lately, Nicole and I have been watching the "cake challenges" on Food Network. So, of course, we decided we wanted to learn some cake decorating. After buying a few things from Hobby Lobby, we set to work. We bought a book that showed us some basic techniques and practiced on cupcakes. Talk about fun! We're addicted now. The boys also decorated a few cupcakes. Since this is Home Ec., we'll count this as school, too. :) Here's our work in pictures:

You can see we make a huge mess, but we have fun doing it. Our next venture...gum paste flowers. Keep checking back with us to see our progress.
