Christmas Cupcakes -- December 10, 2011

I made these cupcakes for my sister Chris to take over to the Radiation department at UT Hospital. It was her last radiation treatment and I know she was so, so relieved to be done with it all. She wanted to do something special for the people there that had been so kind to her. There were Chocolate peanut butter cupcakes, Vanilla cupcakes with candy canes and Andes Mint cupcakes (chocolate mint flavored cake with mint buttercream icing, chocolate drizzle and an Andes mint on top).

A Dora the Explorer Birthday Cake -- December 15, 2011

These Dora the Explorer cakes were made for a sweet girl turning 3 years old! She wanted a Dora doll cake and also a regular Dora cake. Very cute and sweet! Both cakes were vanilla cake with buttercream icing. Dora's hair was done in dark chocolate icing to get the just the right color.
