Pac-Man Cupcakes!

I had to find a sort of geeky theme for my husband's friend's birthday cupcakes, so I came up with these. They turned out great!

I used a white boxed cake for the cupcakes and cut the tops off after baking so they'd be flat on top. I added a layer of yellow buttercream icing and black fondant on top. For the decorations I used colored gum paste. When the decorations were dry I used clear vanilla applied with a paint brush to stick them to the cupcakes.

The whole process was quite time consuming but not too difficult.

Fall is in the air

No need to be sad about summer ending, make cookies instead! I actually really enjoy fall, and was in the mood to make some sugar cookies today. Unfortunately it's too early still for Halloween themed ones so I decided on some colorful fall leaves :)
