Graduation Cupcakes |
|
So, I love last minute notices to bring in baked items! For Wyatt's preschool, I had to make a dessert item for the end of year class get together. When it comes to class parties I definitely like the most "bang for the buck". For these cupcakes, I used Trader Joe's chocolate cupcake mix with a quick shortening frosting. (I use Spectrum Organic shortening instead of the death in a can...Crisco.) For the fondant diplomas and hats, I used pre-colored Wilton's fondant. I hate that it's full of chemicals, but hey I'm not a baker. I actually have to search the shelves at Michaels to find the boxes manufactured in the United Kingdom. Those are nut free and I stock up on them when I find them. Anyway, for the diplomas, I just cut the fondant into strips and rolled them up like a scroll. I used another bit of fondant to make a tie. The hats were simple blue square with a white fondant tie. Oila! Graduation cupcakes that made me look like a rock star!
