Monster Cupcakes! RawR!

I made cupcakes for a Halloween party this year. I made cookies last year and wanted to do something different this year.

They are pretty simple. I just used a grass tip for the green fuzzballs. I decorate cakes for a living so I've got all the equipment. :)

 

I'm happy with how my Frankenstein's monsters turned out. I couldn't help but make at lest one bride of Frankenstein.  I LOVE the noses!

These blue buddies are made with a star tip. But watch out, they will bite your fingers off!

Now these Draculas sport a nifty widow's peek. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the blood drips that I added to their fangs.

And last but not least. MUMMIES! The wrappings are made with the flat side of a ribbon tip. These three amigos are thick as thieves.

Now I think next year I will step up and make an awesome spooky tiered cake.  I have an idea in mind...

Random!

Here are a few random things that are too small to have posts of their own, or maybe I just wanted to jumble them all together to save time for myself. Who knows...

A while ago I started making wallets and I took some pictures when I added fake buttons since I used the type of snaps that you sew in. I have too much trouble with the ones you use a hammer with.

I'm continuously making things to hang in my kitchen that are cupcake and coffee themed.
I took a cupcake design that is on my hand towels and made it into an embroidery.
I added the "sparks" for added color because my towels are a bright blue.
I try to use the same fabric with all the embroidery to kinda have it all fit together.




This is an action shot for an apron that I made for my friend that got married two months ago.
She LOVED it!

Two of my most favorites things!

Today's post is brought to you by the word coffee and the tasty treat cupcake!

Aunt Martha has done it again!
They keep making things that I LOVE to stitch. I believe that I will be stitching the whole Java Break pack.

I played around with some stitches to make it pop (I can't believe I used that phrase). I used three different green hues for the cup border.


It is going on my kitchen wall with my ever growing coffee and cupcakes motif that I've started. Hey, who ever said that you can only pick one theme? I mean come on, can you blame me? They are both yummy!
Although, I don't like eating them together. I don't like to eat sweet things with my coffee, it tends to make my coffee taste overly bitter. :)
