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 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.

Edible Image Cupcakes

January 17, 2013 by Jenn

 Let’s just call this post “Ode to My Mother”.

My mom is the greatest lady I know.  She is the most unselfish person that I know, and is somehow who would do anything for her family.  She is inherently kind and thinks the best of everyone and everything!  To celebrate her birthday, I wanted to make something that would showcase her beauty and greatness, so we came up with these cupcakes.

I had my dad sneak me down all the old family albums so I could go through all the pictures (which was a fabulous walk through time) and chose my favourite pictures of my mom.  Paul worked his editing magic and laid them out in the photo software that he uses for edible printing.

One of the coolest things about these cupcake toppers is the image that has a QR Code on it!  When my mom scanned the code, it had a very special message just for the birthday girl on it!  You’ll have to watch the video to see what my message to her was!
