It was someone's birthday!

This past week has flown by! I cannot believe that tomorrow I already have the second part of my cake decorating class and that on Tuesday I start more! Crazy. So in order to practice this week I decided to make some yummy Champagne Cupcakes for a friend's birthday. You ask why Champagne Cupcakes, but it was a celebration. She was turning the big 3-0! So why not have some bubbly in the mix. I also made a champagne buttercream frosting. Now, even though I cannot have dairy I tried one. How could I not? They looked so good!

I made the frosting yellow and wish I hadn't. I need to find the right temp for my place when I am decorating as my hand gets too warm too fast and the house gets really warm with the oven on. For those of you who do not know this, but when the temp is high or above normal say, 72, the buttercream starts to melt and looks like poop! Therefore, they did not come out as nice as I would like, but oh well...I have class again tomorrow with a cake coming home from that. Cannot wait to decorate that cake!!!

YAY!

Champagne Cupcakes!
