Hello Cupcake!

August always brings the sweetness of corn on the cob. It's a tradition out at camp to have fresh from the farm corn at just about every meal. But wait a minute, is this really farm fresh corn on the cob? It sure was sweet but it's actually cupcakes! Everything about this corn on the cob is candy sitting on top of cupcakes. Alita and I went to a demonstration at the Flying Pig bookstore in Shelburne by the co-authors of the amazing cookbook entitled Hello Cupcake. That evening we witnessed the food stylists at work and then created our own cupcakes that looked like sunflowers, centipedes, and 2 sleeping beauties all snug in their beds. We learned several tricks that make cupcake decorating easy and super fun. Click on the Hello Cupcake book title above to visit the website. Of course we had to create the corn on the cob cupcakes for a day out at camp.
