Cupcakes Cones. Say what?

It has been a long time since I made these, and I have been wanting to make them again for some time. Cupcakes in a cone!

And since I REALLY have a thing for sprinkles...

What's really neat about these Cupcake Cones is that they are tiny! The cones are only about
1 1/2 inches tall! Seriously. Really truly seriously.
I love it- I get my cake, sprinkle and mini fix all in one little bundle. Here they are next to a standard size cupcake (which I'll use for a later project). So cute!

So cute that there needs to be a lot of them!

Puppy dog cookies

Been working on my cookie decorating skills. As you can see they are not all that great. I'm still learning about royal icing and it's not easy for me to get the right consistency for piping. Too stiff and it's almost impossible to pipe decent lines, too soft and they droop right off the cookie. Finally I manged to get something that I could work with, but it's still a bit on the stiff side. I'm going to keep at it though and hopefully it will get better with practice, practice, practice. I thought these were kind of cute.

Polka dot puppy...

Brown puppy...

Every puppy needs a bone...

Rainbow Cupcakes

Rainbow cupcakes you say? What in the world are those? Cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles? Maybe...

Let's take another look...

Yes, but there's more.

Ahhhh...now you see!

And SO yummy!

These cupcakes have my Grandmother's recipe for Sticky Frosting (at least that's what we call it in my family) on top. It's oh so sweet. Here's the recipe:

Grandma's Sticky Frosting
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 egg white
1/2 cup less 1 TBSP boiling water

Measure out the first four ingredients into a mixing bowl. Add the boiling water. Mix on high speed until stiff peaks form.

Cupcakes

Some cupcakes I made for a baby shower. They are actually a very light pastel blue, but I'm still learning how to use my camera, so the lighting is all wrong. Dark chocolate cupcakes with vanilla butter cream- YUM!
