Tasty Cupcakes Part 2

These cupcakes are the oldest thing on this site, I think. I made them in June of 2007, before I’d even taken any decorating classes. They were peanut butter cupcakes with chocolate frosting made from a Betty Crocker cookbook, and the decorations were made from marshmallow fondant. (I particularly like the pacman cupcake.)
Sometimes with the cake decorating, like anything else, I forget how far I’ve come. I tend to look at the cakes I make and think, “This could be better, that’s crooked,” etc. and forget that just two short years ago, if you’d said to me, “In two years you’re going to be able to make miniature royal icing roses on toothpicks and wires, and you’ll be fairly proficient in Oriental Stringwork,” I would have said, “What?” But, these are two things I have been working on in my current decorating class. Neato!
