Smurf Cupcakes

Having recently watched The Smurfs at the cinema with my 5-year-old nephew, I decided to experiment with the blue little creatures on cupcakes!

I explored photos on the net and decided to combine a few ideas to come up with this! Pretty easy to make but time consuming (especially as my white marzipan was quickly drying out)! Perhaps a Smurf village next??

2011 AFL Grand Final Cupcakes

Keeping with the footy theme, the 2011 AFL Grand Final was played yesterday at the MCG between the Geelong Cats and Collingwood Magpies. Thanks to my prophetic nephew (and perhaps my prayers!), I was able to create AFL cupcakes that reflected the outcome! Now don't get me wrong, I am a fan of neither (both teams have defeated my Saints in the past two Grand Finals!) but I clearly prefer one team over the other!

I designed these cupcakes based on the Geelong emblem but altered it slightly. I thought that the Magpie feathers sticking out of the cat's mouth was a nice touch! :)
