Wilton Course #1: 3rd Class

Last night, I attended my 3rd class of the Wilton Course #1. We learned to do some basic decorations, such as shells, simple flowers, leaves, and pom pom flowers. It was nice to learn the proper way to use the different tips and color combinations. I’m a little sad that course #1 is almost over because I met some really nice people, but life goes on… and so do I… onto course #2! I just have to hurry and sign up for July or else I will have to wait until August.

Toy Story 3 Cupcakes















In honor of Toy Story 3 hitting theaters, I decided to make Toy Story-inspired cupcakes! The cupcakes are a vanilla bean cake with white buttercream frosting. I tinted the buttercream blue and green to go along with the theme.















I found the official Toy Story aliens during my recent vacation to the Animal Kingdom in Orlando, Florida. I covered a 14” cake board with aluminum foil to make it look more futuristic. Besides the army guys, the aliens are my favorite characters in the Toy Story series and anyone who knows the movies would agree with me that these little green cuties would probably say “Oooooooooh!” if they saw these cupcakes! LOL

P.S.--> I saw the movie this weekend and I LOVED IT!
