Making creative cupcakes

-
Look how cool, I remember as I was growing up. My mother would always make the best cupcakes at any little kids birthday parties. It is so unique, fun to create and really delicious. All made and decorated with edible ingredients. Here are a few pictures of a few different cupcake ideas. So that the next time you do cupcakes or throw a little persons birthday party. Be creative with your smash hit cupcakes : - )


Take a look at some ideas you could use. There are specific candies being used in each picture but if you go to your local grocery store candy section and don't find this specific candy; I am sure that you can find something that looks similar to use in its place. Be creative with what you have...
frost cupcake with white frosting then use tiny marshmallows for hair and beard ,m &m's for eyes and nose and sour strip candy for hat. 

frost the very center of your cupcake and take coconut and roll it around in green food coloring to get the grass color. throw it on top of your icing and put a few pieces of m&m's then use a twizzler to form the basket handle.
Frost your cake with white frosting then use red jelly beans to line up the endues and heart shaped candies to put in the center.
Take two cupcakes. Frost the top of one and use that as glue to put the smaller one on top. Then frost all around the both of them and roll them softly in coconut. Use red jelly beans for the buttons, chocolate stick for the arms, big marshmallow for the head a reeses piece for the hat and some sort of gummie type candy for the eyes and mouth ( you could use the inside of a jelly bean, a twizzler, gummie bears or the like)
For a baseball frost with white frosting and use either jelly beans, hot tamales or red mike & ike candies to form lines.
Throw your coconut in a blender to be really chopped and then For basketball use orange or brown food coloring throw into the frosting some of your blended coconut and frost the cupcake with that or use orange or apricot marmalade by itself or adding the blended coconut and frost. Use chocolate sprinkles to decorate the lines on the basketball.
Frost with white frosting, use life saver candy for mouth,  jelly gummie for nose, m&m for eyes, twirler for eye brow and orange or brown colored frosting for 3 hair marks. (use food coloring to color your frosting)
After baking your cupcake cut the bottom of it to fit perfectly into an ice cream cone, cover with white or chocolate frosting and use any type of sprinkles or colorful candy to decorate on top.
frost your cake with white or cream frosting and sprinkle coconut on top for the rabbits face then use tiny pink marshmallws for cheeks, pink twizzlers for mouth, chocolate chips for eyes and nose and sour patch watermelon for ears.



Make your cupcake and include some m &m's in the mixture baked into the cake, then take some colorful clear wrapping paper and making it look like a treat prize.

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F
