Pink Lemonade Flamingo Cupcakes

 Pink Lemonade Flamingo Cupcakes

I absolutely love these cupcakes one because that are flamingos and because they are pink, Pink, and more PINK!!!

I wanted to make a cupcake that wasn't your usual chocolate or vanilla so I picked pink lemonade since it was different and reminds me of summer which is fixen to be over. Well it says on the calendar that it will be fall but in south Alabama its like summer never ends ! I looked everywhere for a recipe that was pink lemonade and decided on using one by Betty Crocker. 

The batter looked like Pepto-Bismol.

This was a super simple recipe and only a few ingredients were needed. There are some days that simple is the way to go and I have found that out with a toddler. With Cash I am crunched for time so this is parents approved. 

Here is the link for the entire cupcake recipe on Betty Crocker website 
https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/pink-lemonade-cupcakes/f2b726de-4fd1-4ace-a8b0-3a0cf769d02a

The Other Things Needed:

Black Chocolate 
Fondant
Pink Gel Food Coloring
1M Icing Tip
Piping Bag
Small Leaf Cookie Cutter 
Rolling Pin
Pink Sprinkles
Optional: Fondant Extruder

The fondant extruder really helped to make the necks of the flamingo and made them all the same size, and was a fast alternative than rolling them by hand. It does more than just circles which I hope I get to use in future videos. So I would recommend investing in one if you do a lot of lines or other shapes that it can make. 

I was surprised that at the taste of the cupcakes it tasted like lemonade in cupcake form so it was a win! 
After I had finished decorating and taking pictures I went to editing my video and came back to my flamingos taking a nap lol. Well that's what it looked like to me, after sometime the fondant became soft and there necks broke. So I would recommend when you are making your necks insert a tooth pick in the end that will be in the cupcake. Also make sure you let your fondant necks dry completely I let mine dry overnight. 

The Final Product 

Make sure to view my YouTube video so you can see the whole process!

The Walking Dead Cake

The Walking Dead Cake Its October which means two things its my birthday month and The Walking Dead comes back on tv !!!! I didn't become a fan of the show until the third season was coming on and I discovered it because they were have a marathon and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Well lets just say after a couple of episodes I was hooked and loved it and since then haven't missed an episode. So when the season premiere came on last year and Negan was to be revealed I made my first Walking Dead cake which has been my biggest hit on youtube so far which deserves it own post because its an awesome cake. So for this cake I decided I needed a little bit of each side to be represented on this cake. The Brain with the blood on it, is in the center which is a walker brain, then I made Lucille, Negan's bat sticking out on one side and an arrow coming out beneath the brain for Daryl.  Link to my video on this cake:   https://youtu.be/QET61WVFIw4 I had t...

Thanksgiving 2017

Thanksgiving 2017 This year for Thanksgiving was really laid back and not stressful of course my cooking was cut in half. The only dessert I cooked was pecan pie no cakes!! But to be fair there was only five of us and one was a two year old that only wanted mac and cheese.  The Chef is in!! I couldn't believe I got him to set still for more than one second and got this great picture of him he loves to be in the kitchen with me and wants to help. I have let him help me ice a cake and small stuff like that and he loves it. The start of cornbread dressing this is a must at Thanksgiving and Christmas at our house. Sweet Potato Casserole Of course my only dessert Pecan Pie which is a much bigger deal if you  know how I am about my cakes but we wouldn't have eaten them with just us, maybe a slice or two but the rest would have gone to waste. I forgot to get a picture before everyone dug in so I had to get a quick one before it was...
