Camera's out of the state right now but I am still baking. Not every day, not even every week. but I try to find reasons (like Earth Day) to bake. Tomorrow I am baking cupcakes because... one of my favorite customers (who only has ever bought one thing actually...) came back before I had to leave. =) There's a story behind it. If he didn't come back, he was getting rat poison (not really) if he came back, he got yummy ones. He gets yummy ones. I'm thinking I'll do low-fat and chocolate... not sure yet. Letting my tummy settle down from dinner before I decide.
Any ideas send them to me.
Until next time,
Buhri

Sowwy...
School makes me look at the kitchen and be sad. I go through cookbooks in my spare time and wish my spare time added up to longer than 5 minutes before I have to work on homework or study or... sleep or eat real food. Speaking of food... I actually need to eat something right now before I go to sleep.
This is me apologizing for not uploading pictures after pictures because... I'm tired and school makes me even more tired.
But... I am going to try and make colorful cupcakes because who does not like colorful cupcakes?

Ladybugs and Rainbows
First... the ladybugs. I got the idea from the book, "The Whimsical Bakehouse" but, seeing as I don't have everything they have... I improvised. Big time.
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,

It lives!
My latest cupcake escapade made me realize... while I enjoy baking, I could never do it as a profession seeing as I get very grumpy at my cupcakes and sometimes yell at them. But... I do have fun photographing the finished result.
I made a real-life CUPCAKE WITH WINGS, and put it on a cupcake... it was fun. =D
Pictures to come after I can get to the big computer.
Whee!
Until later tonight,
Buhri

Myspace claims another!
http://www.myspace.com/cupcakeswithwings
I was bored, kitchen was occupied, so I played with a few things and I made a Myspace for Cupcakes With Wings.
=) I think it's time to make a real life Cupcake with Wings.
If you're passing by here I challenge you to also make a Real Life Cupcake with Wings, take a picture and share it with me! If enough people do it I'd be tempted to turn it into a contest with a real life prize! =D How can you resist?
Haha, ah, well I hope everyone is doing amazing!

New Images and more...
Hello everyone,
So I haven't made any cupcakes lately but it is finals week so I am pretty busy and everything studying and procrastinating ^.^ But I did make some cupcake images! Here's a header I haven't gotten to fit yet, I like it anyway, you can find more at my photobucket website!
http://s262.photobucket.com/albums/ii89/Cupcakesandearrings/
On a separate note... I'm thinking of making a MySpace account for this. =) I'd love to start making and selling cupcakes, though I know I'd need to do a bunch of stuff before I can do that.
Any ideas, suggestions, etc.

Down with Fondant!
My own silent war with fondant has been building for quite some time and now I feel like sharing with anyone who wanders here that, fondant is horrible. Sure it makes things look pretty but it makes them taste horrible! I honestly would prefer my food looked weird and tasted great than the other way around. Food is for eating, not just looking.
There has to be something delicious you can make in place of fondant that looks just as good and tastes so much better. Why do all bakers resort to fondant? Why can't we find something that tastes better and looks just as good?
Even Ace of Cakes does it. Every cake they make is usually... fondant. Sometimes there's not even cake involved. I don't like that show anymore because of that. I watched it for awhile and noticed everything got covered with fondant and sometimes there wasn't any cake in their creation (anyone remember the dinosaur?) Rice Krispies was the only really edible thing on that dinosaur!
Okay... I have to end my rant because it's time to get ready for my day job.
Check back for my "Congratulations on your Pregnancy" cupcakes!
I love my friends. =)

Low-Fat Vegan Cupcakes with Vegan Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
Guess who finally made something!
I did make truffles for a friend for Valentine's but I never remebered to take pictures of them before I mailed them off. Tonight however, I made low-fat vanilla vegan cupcakes with full-fat chocolate vegan buttercream frosting. I haven't tried the cupcakes yet but the frosting is delicious! Seriously, once I frosted them, I kept nibbling from the bag, finally I just filled a mini cupcake holder and tossed the rest.
Don't know the recipes off the top of my head and I should hit the hay soon so... someone remind me to post them! Hopefully I'll remember... but, I'm pretty sure we all know how absent minded I can be. Until then, enjoy some pictures:
Cupcakes cooling. Look at the Little Mermaid cupcake tins! I love Michaels! ^.^
Close-up of the cupcake and frosting, got new frosting tips at Michael's as well.
That was my frosting snack, the cupcake tin is what I used for the truffles.
Frosted cupcakes! Look at all the random designs... some I tried to make look like flowers. Heh. In the background are some individual cupcake holders, 'Cup-A-Cake'. The name's cute, I haven't tried them out yet, they were a gift from my mother.
Close-up of some of the cupcakes and the last of the images.
=)
Keep yelling at me to bake things, I try not to ignore you guys.
