Chickapee's Cupcakes: 06/12/10

About Chickapee's Cupcakes

So my name is Ashley Jantz and i am trying a new project over summer vacation. The last day of school was yesterday (june 11th 2010) and I am making -what i like to think- extreme cupcakes. I got the idea from a cookbook called Hello, Cupcake and the sequal What's New Cupcake (authors: Karen Tack & Alan Richardson). My idea is to make all these awsome cupcakes and sell them or just give them away to people. There are 116 cupcake designs and i am determined to make every one of them. I am going to give them to relatives and friends for birthdays, holidays, or just cuz. So if you know me just call and i will hook u up! And another thing I am excited about is making cupcakes and giving them to charities or childresns hospitals ect. But i will have to get some practice first, becuase that's alot of pressure. lol

Alien Invasion

Today is the first day of the cupcake challenge. I am tempting to make all of the cupcakes in two new cookbooks I bought at Sur La Table in River Park. They are called Hello, Cupcake and What's New, Cupcake? The authors are Karen Tack and Alan Richardson. there is a total of 116 cupcake designs. So for the first one I tried the Alien Invasion. for the first extreme cupcake, it was pretty easy. They aren't the neatest, or prettiest aliens in the world but not bad for the first batch. Some of them have four eyes lol. Well I'm proud of these aliens. They are like my little babies ready to be eaten haha.
