Oh, oh, oh...so, i had this
fantastic idea to make these cupcakes that i found in a book called
hello, cupcake! by karen tack & alan richardson. not sure if i was on crack at the time or not, but i thought, hey weston will love these! how hard can they be? famous last words...wednesday of last week i decided to do a trial run of the sharks which i knew would be the hardest ones to execute. they are made with twinkies and half of a chocolate wafer (for the fin) that you cover in gray frosting and mount on the cupcake. the first ones were a failure after they all completely fell of the cupcakes by wednesday night. no problem, i thought. i'll just make them on jumbo cupcakes for a more stable base! hahahaha! the picture above is of the cupcakes that i made for weston's birthday pool party at the gym. the pictures below are what they looked like after i made them at the house. so, as you can see, only 2 sharks survived the journey to the gym yesterday and the rest, well...i think that i am going to take a break from cupcakes for awhile...after wednesday (weston's birthday) that is! i still have to make 30 for his class!! wish me luck!
sharks, buoys, life preservers, and fish (just in case you were wondering what all those funny looking things were:o).

I think they're awesome. And delicious looking. If any first graders don't want theirs, I'd be glad to take them off your hands. ;)
I agree. They are cute! Perhaps if the fin was made out of fondant it wouldn't have fallen so easily. I think it's great that you had so many choices to choose from. I made about 6 different farm animal cupcakes and it is so much harder to just make 3 of each and then have to switch designs.
thought it was funny that the security word verification they asked me for when I commented was: ellayes
better than i could do!
girlfriend, you rock! They look awesome and will be loved.
