Cruise Cupcakes

by Chocolate-Covered Katie on September 12, 2008

In the year 2008 B.C. (Before Cruise)

Before we embarked on our cruise, about a month ago, some of our super-nice neighbors threw us a “Bon Voyage” party (I have a sneaky suspicion they just wanted an excuse to have a party). As with any party, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make… cupcakes!

What kind of cupcakes? Why, “Bon Voyage” cupcakes, of course. Sadly, I missed the boat (pun intended) in one aspect of my cupcake-decorating, as it wasn’t until the next morning when I realized, “Gosh darn it, I should’ve sprinkled some of my Whole Grain Cream of Wheat on the cupcake plates to make it look like sand!”

Sand slip-up aside, I was really happy with how these babies turned out. So were all the other party guests, as every little cupcake did a disappearing act by the end of the party.

Plate One:

And here I am, showing off my (naked) vegan red-velvet cupcakes.
Scandalous! Quick, get some icing on these guys!

I love them! My favorite cupcake is the one with the anchor.
I’m only about five hours from Austin. Now I know where to go if I get a hankerin’ for a vegan cupcake…;)

Fabulous decorating. Looking forward to the fondant post as I just make a mess of icing so tend to make muffins more than cupcakes.

Thought of you this morning… I ate purple porridge! :)

I just love themed cupcakes!! These are so adorable! So do you cut all the shapes by hand? I have a big fondant project next week and am looking for some advice… maybe I’ll shoot you an email :-)

Those are so adorable… do you think there is a special way to be able to decorate to make them look that good or is it just PURE TALENT! Very impressive!

Love love love that seagull – super cute. Any excuse for cupcakes is fine by me.

You are really, REALLY good at decorating cupcakes. I need some lessons from one Chocolate Covered Vegan!

They are so festive! I bet the cream of wheat would have been a nice touch.

What a lot of work you must have put into these cuppers! You’re so creative.

I love the anchor and the whale the most! But they’re all gorgeous. You are super talented.

BTW, are you far away from the hurricane?! When I heard it was headed for Texas, I worried about you!
