Thomas The Engine

I know, it's been far in between posts but I am posting, mainly because I am procrastinating. I NEED to study. Two practical exams and two written exams, they will have all started and be completed in about 1 and 1/2 weeks. So, what am I doing? Posting a blog. :)

I recently made some cupcakes for X's second birthday party. I heard it was a Thomas the Engine theme. I wanted to try out some colour flow icing techniques I learned way back in the spring. They didn't come out exactly the way that I wanted them to, but I think I will know for next time what I should and shouldn't do. Like read the instructions for the colour flow more carefully. I added 1/2 a cup of water, when I really only needed 1/4 cup of water. Lesson learned, don't rush through the instructions! :)

So here are some initial photos of the colour flow image before they were placed on the cupcakes.
I couldn't make it to the birthday party - damn Saturday classes! So, Scott assembled the cupcakes for me and transported them to the party.
My fellow classmates were happy to get the leftover mini's from the rest of the batter. They said they tasted great. I'll take their word for it. From the picture below I'll assume the Birthday Boy enjoyed the cupcakes as well. And really, that is all that matters!
