Cuppie Cakes



So...I have yet to learn how to say NO when I'm asked to do something I'm not quite sure of..

My girlfriend at work asked me if i could make 70 cupcakes for a wedding shower.. 4 different kinds and with cream cheese icing.. ok I had never made cream cheese icing before and asked my mother "miss baker" herself for a recipe. She gave me one that only (i think) a skilled baker could make ...like my mother so I went on to allrecipes.com.. (thanks shelley) and found a great recipe for it. So I couldn't just put icing on them ...if anyone knows me I have to embellish a bit.. so I turned to my mother again and the queen saves all magazine clippings she finds interesting and there she found one of cupcakes for fall... There was a turkey with a tail that was swirled chocolate in a leaf shape... It was like a light bulb when off and so i swirled the chocolate and used small cookie cutter in leaf shapes used some edible glitter and viola!! fall cupcakes... I had so much fun I had to share them.. ( the bride liked them too) Another project completed..
