Icing Artistry

The other day, as the temperatures outside barely hovered above freezing, we were toasty and warm inside where the aroma of baking cupcakes filled our kitchen. Inspired by a newly purchased cupcake decorating book, we decided to try our hand at icing artistry. Though the corn-on-cob trio of mini-cakes looked fairly convincing, the yellow lab cupcake was the star of our show. Turns out Abby has an amazing ability to wield a rolling pin and turn Tootsie Rolls into doggy ears! The pink jelly bean tongue is another nice detail. The chocolate labs came out pretty well too.
