Family get together today, and I made....yep, cupcakes. Really have been enjoying teaching myself how to use a piping bag. Hubby and I are still considering taking a class together in cake decorating. And these cupcakes, again, are using the Weight Watchers chocolate pumpkin muffin recipe, and it makes about 20 or 21 smaller sized cupcakes. This time, I made homemade buttercream frosting. Good, although I'm going to be testing out a few more buttercream recipes to see which one we like best. But with the WW recipe, depending upon the amount of frosting I use, it's not bad at all. These, because they're for family, have a little more frosting than I would use if it was just for me.
So I think I've got the basic piping down. Now it's time to start getting a little more creative...after next week's fundraiser.
I haven't eaten much yet today, bagel thin (3 PP), 1 tbsp. low-fat peanut butter (2) and half a banana. Time to go make a pita pizza for lunch, and then off to a family get-together and busy work day tomorrow.
Your cupcakes look awesome, Reen! I totally stink at decorating cupcakes and cakes. I love watching the Food Network cake challenges which make it look easy even though I know it's NOT! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun day today!
I wish I could make my cupcakes look that pretty!
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks girls. I just hope I can continue with this new "hobby" and keep my fingers out of the butter cream!
