Super Sprinkles

Last night I helped my sister make 6 dozen cupcakes.  It took about 4hrs with a dinner break but having 2 people definitely makes it go faster. We made chocolate, vanilla, and hummingbird cupcakes. The first two with Swiss meringue buttercream and the latter with cream cheese frosting. However, if you are from Campus Kids then she totally made those cupcakes all by herself.

A few months ago I picked up some cool star shaped sprinkles. This was the first time I used them and they are so cute!

I learned an important lesson again last night. SMBC does not want to be colored with gel food coloring. We were trying to get a navy blue and instead got a muted purple. And as soon as water hit it, it turned blue.

I did some googling today  and found out I need to try oil based candy colors because of the fat content in SMBC. So I’ll be picking some up next time I’m in Michaels.
