Halloween Sparkle ♥

Who says ghosts only live in scary basements?

Maybe they like to eat Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Or go on wild shopping sprees for an eternity?

My Beautifully Scary Cupcakes.

I piped chocolate spiders onto parchment paper.

Then I covered them in Hologram Silver Disco Dust.

Now they are crawling all over the cupcakes, and looking quite pretty instead of creepy!

This one reminds me of a piece of jewelry!

In my world,  ghosts are always made out of fluffy sparkly cream cheese frosting.

In my world, ghosts feel guilty when they scare, so they wear pink bows and delicious sugar dots to make everything all better.

If you saw a ghost with a pink sparkly bow, would you be afraid?

Living With Amy Pink Strawberry Margarita Cupcake Demo!

I took out the Tequila and the Margarita Mix on Living With Amy yesterday-and it was before noon! ♥

We made Pink Strawberry Margarita Cupcakes together in the kitchen!
She loved that my bowl of Margarita Cupcake batter smelled like a *real* margarita! ♥ And that 10% of my pink cupcake proceeds sold at Cronie's in Waupaca are going to the Susan G Komen Foundation ♥

You can see for yourself on this video demo with the recipe too:

This is the "altered couture" cupcake corset wrapper Amy & I made together.

Here is my hand drawn template you can use to make an already pretty cupcake into a couture cupcake!

Make sure the template is printed out at 8 1/2" wide and trace/cut out onto heavy cardstock ♥ (I like to use sparkly cardstock because it is more glamorous!)

I have added: Brooches, Old Jewelry, Sequins, Beads, Feathers, Lace, Sparkly Gems, Ruffles. Yay. ♥

Living With Amy Fox 11 Pink Swirl Cupcake Demo!

I appeared on Fox 11's Living with Amy yesterday.

The theme was *pink* for Breast Cancer. I demonstrated how to make pink and white vanilla swirl cupcakes! I let Amy sprinkle the sparkles on my cupcakes!  One of my favorite parts was when she had to eat the frosting off of her hand when the cupcake started to fall. Yep, another example of a kitchen where Amanda is more like I Love Lucy than the Martha Stewart show! But that's what I love.

Video and recipe on how to create pink &white swirl cupcakes:

(and of course..Amy sprinkling sparkles on an Amanda Cupcake cupcake!)
