Halloween cupcakes (with fondant!)

I know Halloween has long been forgotten by now, as I peruse through the stores and see nothing but Christmas decorations and gift items.

But I still wanted to share my creations from Halloween night, as it was my very first experience with fondant!

I've wanted to work with fondant for a while now, as I've seen beautiful things done with it. I've just heard it tastes gross. But I did hear that there was a fondant out there that didn't taste so bad...

Intro to Cake Pops!

I have been obsessed with a baker named Bakerella. She makes these things called cake pops and cake balls that are really good, but also very fun to make! To see her creations, check out her blog here. But... maybe you shouldn't look at her cake pops before looking at mine! :) Hers are amazing!! She also just released a cookbook.

My first attempt at these balls was this past spring. I wanted something unique to give to the kids' teachers as a thank you at the end of the year. So I made apples!
