Red, White, and Blue Baseball Cupcakes!


I was hired to make baseball cupcakes for a baby shower. The colors of the shower are red, white, and blue. That's all the info I needed.


This was my first time A) playing with gel colors. B) making multicolored cupcakes. C) attempting any decorating on cupcakes.

 Gel color is soooo much fun to play with and takes so little!

I wasn't thrilled with the swirl cupcake examples I was finding online. I attempted this instead.
 And I'm actually quite happy with the way they turned out...like little color-block cupcakes.
 The decorating took some practice and I'm not claiming other than some of them look like baseballs and some of them look more like red seaweed. I did my best and I'm pretty happy with them!
 I had such a great time baking and decorating today with my beautiful wonderful friend, Katie. Yep, two Katies.
 These are how they turned out from the side. Isn't that cool????

And from the top.

Make sure to give me a call and place your order for you Fourth of July party!!!!
