Ro - Cupcake Maker to the Stars....

Or at least the star of our family....my super-cute nephew DoodleBug who just turned four last month! DoodleBug had a Yo Gabba Gabba-themed party for his school friends, so I offered to make cupcakes. (Somehow I decided that my month-long obsession with cake decorating in 1985 prepared me for this task.)

I'd never used fondant before and was frankly a little afraid of it (the hack who made my wedding cake* refused to use fondant because it "tastes so nasty."). However, there was no reason to fear the fondant. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to use and it really didn't taste all that bad (although I definitely prefer my buttercream icing).

The cupcakes turned out pretty darn good, if I might say so myself:

And had I not made them, I wouldn't of heard the comment of the day at the party, courtesy of one of the moms:

My favorite character is the pink one. What's her name? Fupa?

*Unlike most brides, I didn't get to select the baker who did our cake. Our reception was at venue that required us to use their vendor, a lovely piece of work who, within the first 5 minutes of our converation used the word "colored." As a noun.

Wait, who is this?

This can't be THE Ro. The Ro that never posts on her blog anymore?!

Okay, okay, I'll stop harassing you! Those cupcakes are fucking ridiculously cute. I think one of my ovaries popped just looking at them!

Next, I challenge you to do a cute Cailou cupcake. ;)

Mama - I don't think it's possible to do a cute Cailou ANYTHING! God. That kid is ANNOYING!

DSB - Hey lady! Sorry I didn't respond to your question earlier. Nope, no more derby for me. A fractured and displaced coccyx ended my career almost before it began! :( You???

HippieSister - Yep. I'm all yours! :-)
