This is one time where I won't post a recipe because... it was kind of a trial and error, 'hey what'll this look like!' kind of a thing. The cupcake is just regular vanilla that I made last night and froze, the frosting is actually a chocolate glaze (recipe in The Whimsical Bakehouse but I modified it to make it smaller).
And now... the green and red ladybugs.
You'll notice the green ladybugs have pupils, the red ones do not. I was getting fed up with the wafer chocolate you see... and I like the non-pupil look. It's kinda freaky and makes you want to eat them just so you don't have to see it.
Aha, you're learning my tricks now. =D
Close up of the spooky non-pupiled eyes.
His pupil is kind of falling off of his eye... not as creepy as no pupil but still very odd.
Ladybug cupcake love.

Doesn't that look yummy?
Mmm...
There were only three rainbow cupcakes. But they look just soooo yummy!
And now... for the finale, the piece de resistance... the Real-Life Cupcake... with Wings.
There it is after I piped it out onto parchment paper. I still have to work on my chocolate piping skills, but I think it's cute. (I wish I had candy colors so it could be rainbowy!)
I like the back, it's not lumpy.
You can kind of see my Easter, fuzzy bunny cupcake tins, my cupcakes were small like they always are, so I had to peel them down to dip the tops in the chocolate.
And there it is... the last of the cupcakes all gathered together.
I had a lot of fun making those ones, if I can find candy colors I'll be experimenting more. Maybe I'll try brown and white chocolate piping with colored buttercreams (I have icing gels)!
There it is... a whole night's worth of baking when I should have been working.
Until next time,
Buhri
