i sent madeline off to class this morning with 23 of these decorated mermaid cupcakes for her "birthday." having her birthday mud july means she will never have her birthday during the school term, but she doesn't like to miss out on her special day with the class, so we always take her cupcakes on the last day before school holidays.
but. oh the drama. the mermaid cases and tails carefully purchased for this years party theme only had 23 cases inside...
the cakes did not want to stay in their cases and were moving all over the place in the trays...
meaning i had to actually trim them into a decent size for decorating. hahaha.
then my piping bag broke and icing went all over the place...
but we somehow got there. a generous topping of aqua cream cheese icing, a dash "midnight" sprinkles from the queen range at coles supermarkets and the mermaid tail on top? good to go. i was pleased with the end result and that's the main thing right? plus, i was volunteer in the school canteen today and somehow walked past at just the right time as the kids came out for recess holding them. i got lots of compliments, so they obviously tasted okay. hooray! well. there's the start of birthday month for you miss madeline!
