Today has been really busy and I didn't get a chance to make my applesauce spice cupcakes with brown sugar cream cheese icing. I will make them & put the recipe up tomorrow. Until then though I decided I'd put up another picture of one of my creations.
This is a library and campus green out of cupcakes that I made for a scholarship contest about a week ago. I used standard chocolate cupcakes in white liners. The icing is vanilla with a couple of drops of green food coloring added in and green sprinkles (which I hand picked myself out of a can with like 20 other colors). The walkway is made out of Hershey's chocolate bars cut in half. The arch and trees are made out of milk chocolate (although I recommend using modeling chocolate b/c milk chocolate melts almost immediately after pulled from the fridge. The trees were made using a hand drawn template place on baking sheet then put wax paper over top follow the lines making trees or whatever shape desired then add your nonpareils while wet. To make it easier to stick in your cupcakes made a thick pointed triangle at the bottom with the chocolate. Stick trees in the fridge for about 20 minutes or until hardened. The back is made of jumbo cupcakes covered in vanilla icing which I made gray by mixing all the colors in the box of food coloring. I stacked the cupcakes on top of each other and placed ice cream cones covered and textured on top of the cupcakes. Finally, the grad caps are chocolate candies (Dove with mint in the center) with twizzler's pull n peel on top. Delicious!
