cherry cupcakes with whipped vanilla frosting

Captain America cookies

For some reason superhero themed cookies are some of my most favorite to decorate. Maybe its the pop of the bright colors? I haven't quite figured it out. I had wanted to make some patriotic themed cookies for 4th of July but ran out of time, so I decided to make these when the Captain America movie came out.

I've been really bad lately about only taking pictures with my phone. I'm not pleased with how any pictures turn out on my camera though! These were fun to make. I love how the stars turned out!

creamsicle cupcakes

These were orange cupcakes with a fluffy cream filling and topped with an orange buttercream.  They tasted just like a creamsicle!

4th of July red velvets!

The picture doesn't really do these cupcakes justice, as I took it from my phone.  They turned out beautifully red.  Perfect for the 4th of July holiday.  I topped them with a whipped cream cream cheese frosting, which is a light, airy cream cheese frosting with whipped cream mixed in.  Although the frosting is delicious, it doesn't hold up well in the heat, it melts just enough to lose its shape.  Alas, the cupcakes were yummy!
