Family Reunion Cupcakes

[grav_ity]

Tomorrow is the 66th Annual Stark Family Reunion (The More, The Merrier!). Last year, I made chocolate cupcakes which, while delicious, were generally declaimed as a disappointment because the week before I'd made the Do You Want Fries With That? cupcakes, and those raised everyone's expectations.

I haven't blown my own mind making these, but they are pretty darn cute!

















The ants and the watermelon are from The Book, but the caterpillars and the ladybugs are all me. ;)

Fun times! Now I really must finish my book before the suspense kills me.

Those look delicious and gorgeous and I kind of want to gorge myself... O_O

How absolutely adorable! They're too cute to eat!!! On second thought, I'd save the photos and gobble them down. ;-)

You are a cupcake artist!!!

Oh my god, those are SO CUTE!

I wish I could do things like that. I can make totally edible stuff, but I can't make it that pretty.

Smarties and sprinkles. ;)

(Seriously, if anyone in my family ever finds out my "secrets", they're going to think I'm SO MUCH LESS COOL, because it's seriously "And then I stuck some candy on it", and that's how it works.)

Next time, we shall make Appa Cake, and it will be DELICIOUS and only VAGUELY CREEPY. ;)

Oh, it was all I could do to put them in the fridge!

Thanks!

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

Good luck with which ever you pick.

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's the best kind of art, because you can EAT IT after everyone tells you how AWESOME you are. ;)

Those look awesome and the kids are giggling in delight at the ladybugs with frosting dots. :D

I'm a bit miffed that we had to leave before anyone saw them, but I hope everyone else enjoyed them!

I'm trying to figure out if ants are some statement on your family. :)

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

Well, we do carry a lot of food with us when we travel...

I meant by number. 71 at the reunion?

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! Lots of people at the reunion. ;)

EXCUSE ME, I WANT SOME APPA CAKE RIGHT NOW PLS.

Sorry if dropping in on you from time to time is vaguely creepy, but I had to express my total admiration for your cake decorating skills. And also, your beautiful new header. And also, APPA.

Oh, no worries! I meant to add you to this journal as well and totally blanked! It's probably because I left your books at mum and dad's house (so the covers won't get worn if I have to move suddenly), and without them staring at me I plum forgot!

FORTUNATELY, you live much closer to me than Emma does. ;) And if you have a kid's birthday coming up, I'm more than happy to come over and invade your kitchen (again!).

ETA: Oh, and everyone goes cake stalking at some point! It's practically the first thing most flisters do! ;) There's also the Chocolate Defiant (http://grav-ity.livejournal.com/713676.html).
