Mocha swirls
Next time I will try putting more caramel inside each cupcake...

Dan and I also attended several birthday celebrations over the weekend. I made a knitting needle roll for Jess...
For DPNs and circulars
And a polka-dot zipper pouch...
All rolled up and polka-dotty
I also made a couple sets of wine charms as part of Jenny and Graham & Sara's gifts...
Colorful markers
Happy birthdays, fellow Cancerians!

Wow! I just love it all! You did such a great job.
Hi
Do you mind if I ask you a question? You indicated on one of your posts that you made a simple syrup to moisten pre-made cupcakes
"Either way, next time I use a perishable frosting, I will try brushing the cupcakes with simple syrup to retain moisture overnight."
Is this a pretty good rule of thumb? I made cupcakes today (Fri) for a Sunday party and I am afraid of them drying out. Also, if I don't plan on making frosting till Sun do I need to refrigerate?
Thanks so much!
Hi Cristin, I do not like to refrigerate cupcakes because I find it affects the texture of the cake, but many bakeries do it, so you may want to try it yourself! If you do not refrigerate the unfrosted cupcakes, I think brushing simple syrup should prevent them from drying for a day...haven't tried two days in advance though. Good luck!
