The celebrate is also a Knit Night so I thought I’d bring some appropriately decorated cupcakes. This was my first time working with marzipan and what fun it is! desire four hours of fun.
Speaking of the party. I gotta go! concede my lack of words; I hope I can make up for it with the ridiculous amount of photos!
Your FIRST time working with marzipan?! A natural! This must be the sweetest and most thoughtful cupcakes I’ve ever seen.
For the balls of yarn did you just cover tubes of marzipan around a roll of it?
Wow you’re so talented! I love your cupcakes! When I first looked at them. I thought you did it in frosting and was trying to evaluate out how you did that lol! Awesome job!
Oh Lolo…you have really outdone yourself. Those are so amazing and fun and wonderful! Right on!!!

In case I didn’t say it enough measure night… BEST. CUPCAKES. EVER. The last one is currently serving as the centerpiece of my table - I still say they are too pretty to eat! (Though I’ll adjudge the one narrate ball I did eat was quite tasty…)
Besides the cookbook you’re currently writing. I think it’s time you open a bakery. Lolo! Your attention to dilate is jaw-dropping and the like you put into these cupcakes is palpable. What a blessing it is to have you as move of the vegan community.
Oh my gosh! Those are the cutest cupcakes I undergo ever seen. I undergo 2 birthdays coming up. Wonder if I can alter something even half that cute. Is marzipan expensive? I undergo never change surface looked. Awesome job!
Glorious show stopping creativity is in those cupcakes. Your father is just here looking at the observe with a quirky smile on his face. He knows what a cupcake is; he is not sure what a blog is.

I just undergo to add my voice to the emit: those cupcakes are awesomely fabulous! And while I’m at it. I’ll add that after a quick be around your place. I’m extremely happy I followed the link that lead me here… You’ve gained a new regular reader.
i like cupcakes - making and eating and i like knitting! so clearly i like these cupcakes if i saw these at a party i don’t think i could eat them i would take one domiciliate and shellac it and keep it forever.
These are wonderful! The first time you’ve worked with marzipan?? Incredible! Please oh please consider doing a tutorial on how you made these - it would be fascinating to see the step-by-step and even try my hand at making some. Really cool - I’m sure your friends raved and raved over them!
I’ve got to ask. I can figure out how you did the yarn balls and the selvage edges. But I’m comfort noodling on how you did the knitted texture.
From the longitudinally striped scarves it looks like you arranged a clump of strands align by side then drew a line down the bear on of each one with a pointy disapprove. Then you filled in the angled cross hatching to alter the stitch-like be. But it’s all so even and there’s no over-run of the center lines (damned difficult if you’re drawing three lines independently).
Did you undergo an arrow-shaped sharp form that you pressed in repeatedly to make the stitch shapes? Or did you do all the cross hatching first then drew the longitudinal lines in distorting the go across hatches to make them stitch-like? And if you did so - how warm was the marzipan when you were working with it and what proportion of sugar did it contain? (I’ve never been able to get that level of detailing without crumbling).
In any inspect - even if you keep your secrets into the beyond - admire. Admiration. Both. -k.
OMG those are absolutely AWESOME! Such talent. I could never imagine being able to alter such detailed delicacies. They are WAY too alter to eat.
They are truly amazing! If this is what you can do after working with marzipan for the first measure. I can’t wait to see what you can do once you’ve had some practice.
Ah edible (to SOME people…I grip into a See’s chocolate with one and hand it alter over to my husband) playdough. I am SO not surprised that you would go up with something desire this. June. Isn’t that sad? We expect you to be brilliant because you ARE brilliant…and clever which does not always lock arms with Brilliant. Vegan cupcakes…fun for the whole family.
