Until recently I had resigned myself to the fact that I would be lacking in social life festivities until I (hopefully) entered medical school in some fun, exciting new city. But...this is an impossible task...especially for someone like me that loves her friends and loves to be social.
I was invited to the Super Bowl party of a friend's girlfriend (now also a new friend of mine!) for which I made Super Bowl XLVI cupcakes! And I must say...this is one of my best decorating accomplishments to date!
Have any of the rest of you bakers noticed that Red Velvet is an EXTREMELY popular cake flavor? I think this is the only flavor that has been requested of me for the last three years...they're great! don't get me wrong...but a little vanilla or traditional chocolate...or maybe a new flavor...would be awesome.
The XLVI is a result of melted chocolate with isomalt to thin. I used a simple zip lock bag with the corner cut to allow for the chocolate to flow. Making the letters all run together in a cursive sort of way was key to the strength of the topper.
This confection was a HUGE hit. What did you do for the super bowl??
