Pink Cupcakes

For this Saturday, I decided to post my Easy Cup Cake Design.........so easy, you can do it with your eyes closed and your hands tied behind your back......well, sort of, kind of, but not really.

Imagine showing up to your next scrapbook party or girl's night out with these beauties.......

Don't these look like the cutest pink and black cupcakes ever??? even my husband admired them for a bit!!! A while back I brought home a button down striped shirt one day for him but he wouldn't wear it because one of the stripes looked pink! OMG, hunny, really. The shirt looked so good on him but, the man would not wear it.


By the way, if you want to join a scrapbook group or a crafty group or whatever suits your fancy, check out this web site http://www.meetup.com/ , just don't ask me how many groups I belong to 'couse I don't want my hubby to freak out if he reads this post.....trust me, my "mommy time" is fully booked ladies.



Back to the cupcakes, the cupcake on the left on the picture above turned out a little crooked, but that's because I used the new Reynolds foil baking cups. You don't need a cupcake baking dish when you use the Reynold's foil cups but you have to make sure there is enough room between the foil cups on your baking sheet, otherwise, they will squeeze each other and look like that.



To make the cute desing on the cupcake, first you frost your cupcake using any frosting you have. Next, you draw lines with a decorating gel with a thin tip going accross. You can use as many lines as you'd like, the more lines you use, the more intricate your design will be.

Then, you take a clean toothpick and drag the tip going from top to bottom in a straight line.
Do this a few times on your cupcake wiping your toothpick clean each time on a wet cloth.



You can also make different colored stripes, it'd be so cute for Easter!!!!

Once you run the tip of your toothpick down, it will look like this:

Next, take the toothpick and drag the opposite way, from bottom to top, in between the lines you just created. Use the tip of the toothpick and remember to wipe it clean each time.

Your cupcake will look like this, super cute:
