Pumpkin and Princess Kupcakes

For my Mom's birthday (October 1st), she sent me a recipe for pumpkin kupcakes and bought me some pumpkin molds to use. I used the base of the recipe she gave me and added a little more stuff to make it my own. I don’t like pumpkin and have never cooked with it before and still don’t enjoy cooking with it. It smells awful. lol I used a carmel rum glaze and I have to say it s my favorite glaze I have used to this day. Very simple to make and very good and any thing that has rum in it is good. ;) Oh and i used Carmel to makethe pumpkins have stems, leaves and little vines. :)

For the same family birthday party I made Princess Kupcakes. Shyann is turning 5 and love princesses. I bought cute Princess cupcake cups and made vanilla kupcakes with purple sprinkles baked inside. Then Iced with pink homemade buttercream. She loved them.

Sunflower Kupcakes


This was my first attempt at sunflower cupcakes. They were basic chocolate cupcakes with green frosting and Oreo sunflowers. I hadn’t tried to make my own frosting yet so this was with basic store bought icing. I think it was Wilton decorating icing I used. I did a few of those and then made some purple with sprinkles on them. Since this was my fist time with these it was a learning process and I hope next time I do them they turn out better than these!
