We went to my cousin's house for dinner tonight and had to bring a dessert. I ran across a recipe for S'mores Cupcakes, and thought they looked fabulous so I decided to bring those.














First of all, it was much too hot in my house today for these to work out and really look good. As soon as I piped on the marshmallow stuff, it all melted into a somewhat goopy mess. The chocolate was also mushy and had to be put in the freezer before we could use it. Not only that, I apparently cooked the cupcakes too long because they were pretty dry. Darn it. Here are my own much less fabulous looking cupcakes.














Today wasn't a total cupcake failure, though, because I finished knitting these cupcakes for Emma and I think they are pretty cute.














And, eeeeeeee! More fabric!

oh, cute cute cuteness all over. Where did you buy your hedgie fabric? And is there a cupcake pattern online? I have just the yarn for that icing top.

Thanks! I bought the hedgie fabric from an ebay store called nuno. The shipping was super fast, especially considering it was coming from Japan! The cupcake pattern is from the One Skein book. It works up really quickly.

Those knitted cupcakes are gorgeous Sarah!
