128. Ice cream cones cake!

I was surprised when my good friend mentioned that it's a hassle to eat cupcakes. Hassle? How difficult is it to eat compared to having to cut up a cake, which can be quite messy?

Then she said. "They look really pretty, but you'd have to peel the cup away. I hate those cups..."
Hmm...That was food for thought!
So, how about a "cupcake" which you can devour in its entirety?

Chris' Pantry presents to you....
Ice Cream cone cupcakes!


















I made Chocolate chip "Ice cream" topped with Orange cream cheese frosting, sprinkled with 100's & 1000's!

127. Friends Cupcakes

Everyone's got their inspiration and mine is in the form of a young lady who's got amazing talent with fondant. I'm not 100% able to replicate her work - she's got much better hand-skill than I, but here's a sneak peak at what I've been up to, preparing for my Hubby's birthday party this weekend. (By the way, I use marzipan instead of fondant.)




























Lemon Poppy seed cupcakes with "Friends" (his friends, that is!).
Chel's got a beer, Mr Lim's got a cross, Karen's got a diamond ring!

After this weekend (8th Sept), feel free to order them for yourselves! You know the email address, but for those who are not too sure, it's chrispantry@gmail.com.

Have a wonderful weekend peeps!
