Doctor cupcakes!

 My sister asked me to make "doctor" cupcakes for a coworker who was leaving to get his PA degree. I found this idea on Pinterest.com

 

 

I made some changes to avoid working with fondant, but they turned out pretty well :)

 

 

Decorations:

"pills": good & plenty candies

"spilt medicine": colored sugar

"cross": red twizzlers

"Band-Aid": apricot fruit strip & half a mini marshmallow

"stethoscope": black icing piped using #4 icing tip, finished with edible silver pearls

 

4th of July themed cupcakes!

For the 4th of July I decided to incorporate the Red, White, and Blue theme on both the inside and the outside of the cupcake! I used a post on Pinterest.com for inspiration.

 

 

I divided the batter into 3 bowls and dyed two bowls red and blue. Then I layered the batter into the cupcakes starting with blue, then white (non-dyed), finally red batter. The oven causes a convection and produced this effect inside the cupcake :)

 

 

Decorations:

red, white, & blue sprinkles

blueberries

strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate icing piped with M21 icing tip
