Father’s Day Cupcakes: Fondant Neckties

June 7, 2013 by Jenn

Father’s day is another one of those special holidays that you want to treat your loved ones special, and those people who are close to you definitely deserve it!  Not to give you information overload, but my dad and I have always had a very close relationship, but it hasn’t been without it’s differences.  We are very similar in our dominant Type A personalities and is a relationship that I value dearly. 

The Father’s Day cupcakes that I have made will not be for every type of Dad out there, but mine went to work each day wearing a shirt and tie.  My brother and I bought him countless ties for Father’s Day, birthdays and Christmas’, so when I decided to make this video, I thought it would be perfect!  

So if you have a father that has to “dress up” to go to work each day, make these for him, and show him how important he is to you!

How to Make Sunflower Cupcakes

June 7, 2013 by Jenn

 Yay!  Spring is finally here!!  

It’s rainy and dark here in the East Kootenay’s of Canada, but I’ll take the warmer weather and sporadic sunny days over winter and snow any day!  What makes me think happy spring days (besides the end of school?!) are SUNFLOWERS!!  Yes, I know they are a fall flower, but they are so sunny and bright, that you can’t help but be cheery.

I used to have a huge collection of sunflower belongings, but having moved twice in one year, lots of it “disappeared”.  I have my favourites still, a stained glass piece my uncle got me from the East Coast of Canada, and a vase (that he also got me).  I’m not into the whole country-chic home decor, so I’m trying to keep the rest of sunflowers in the garden . . . at school!  I had my Kinders plant them this spring so we can enjoy them this fall.    

In this video we show you how to make sunflower cupcakes. These sunflower cupcakes are quick and easy to make … enjoy!

How to Make Iron Man Cake Pops

May 30, 2013 by Jenn

 I just have to ask . . . when are the girlie movies coming out?  The other day I told you about my Star Trek cupcakes (and how I’m not a Trekkie, but the love of popcorn brings me to the theatre).  As much as I love the movies, I just don’t like these comic book characters.  Honestly I struggled with the motivation for these cake pops, as I just don’t get why someone called Iron Man is popular.  But, many people don’t understand why a Louboutin is popular . . . so touche.   As I was practicing for these cake pops, which actually turned out quite cute (can I say cute in reference to Iron Man?), I looked that them at one point and realized I had put the face on upside down.  Oops.  But, don’t worry, I have the faces the right way round in the video!!  Perhaps I should have let Paul drag me to the theatre to see this movie . . . where a grown man wears a costume . . . and his chest glows. . . uh, I think I’ll stick the Star Trek.

How to Make Star Trek Cupcakes

May 27, 2013 by Jenn

 Are you a self professed Trekkie?  If you are, I hope I have done these cupcake toppers justice.  I am NOT a Trekkie, but I do love the hype of all things movie related.  I will watch any movie as long as it is dark, loud and I have a bag of popcorn in my lap.  I haven’t yet been to the new Star Trek, but we’re hoping to make our way to the local theatre this week to catch it!  

In this video we show you how to make Star Trek uniform cupcakes with matching star backdrop cupcakes. These Star-Trek cupcakes are quick the easy to make … let’s get started!

How to Make Cheesecake Cupcakes

May 23, 2013 by Jenn

If you’ve been keeping up with my recent blog posts, you will know that my last post was about the best cheesecake recipe I could possibly share with you.  I have this on account of my hairdresser. 

Now, the thing with a full sized cheesecake is that it is so large (not that that is a bad thing for certain occasions or parties) but sometimes, a small cupcake sized serving is just perfect to take the edge of a gnawing sweet tooth.  My sweet tooth never, ever stops gnawing at me, but having one of these small portions sure helps to silence it for a while!   

Unfortunately, when you are me and faced with a couple dozen mini cheesecakes, self control must be put into practice!  That damn sweet tooth and complete lack of self control make a nightmare for person with a freezer full of mini cheesecakes.  It’s a good thing I have a staff room at school to “generously donate” my creations to!

How to Make a Cupcake Bouquet for Mother’s Day

April 27, 2013 by Jenn

I have the best Mom!  

I’m sure you think you all do, but, sorry, mine takes that title!  If you have been a frequent viewer of my videos on YouTube, you will have “met” my mom before.  She is such a great sport to accompany me in my videos.

When you are buying a present for the best mom in the world, the magnitude of choosing the perfect present can be very daunting, so instead of a present this year, I’m MAKING her a present.  Nothing says “love” like a homemade gift.  Maybe I should add a construction paper card to go with the “present”.  Oh dear.  Let’s just hope she still loves me after Mother’s Day this year.

Leprechaun Cupcakes for Saint Patrick’s Day

March 3, 2013 by Jenn

Oh, the luck of the Irish is coming our way!  I have a miniscule amount of Irish blood in my white body . . . my Mom’s, Father’s Father’s . . . Father?.  I can’t quite remember the lineage, but I know it’s in there somewhere!  Along with English and Scottish too . . . as every other white person does 😉

We all can use a bit of luck in our lives, so rather than chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, I’ve decided that looking for a Leprechaun may be more futile.  Bahahaha!  My Kindergarten kids like looking for Leprechauns, so I’ll let them do it for me.
