Thanksgiving Cupcakes!

Okay so for Thanksgiving I wanted to make a cupcake that incorporated fall colors and just pretty delicate things that make you think of Fall and Thanksgiving.

The batter is Chocolate Brownie (It was really yummy!)

Here they are baked

The frosting is Coffee Butter Cream. In the little bowl is coffee mixed with coffee liqueur.

Mixing the coffee with the icing

This is fondant. I am using it to make leaves and pumpkins for the lops of the cupcakes. I used stencils to trace them.

After I cut the shapes out I painted them with food coloring.

Once I put the icing on the cupcakes I placed the decorations on top.

Done!

I have a cupcake holder so I used that to hold the cupcakes (obviously!) then just to add a little bit more Fall decoration I put a scarecrow on the top. This was an easy simple presentation, but it made it just that extra special!

This recipe was very easy! It also tasted delicious. Just a quick note, I only put a little swirl of icing in the middle because it was very rich.

I hope you all enjoyed this first recipe :D
