Okay, some of you already know this about me, but I LOVE baking. I love making cakes, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, I love inventing and creating something new. Like recently, I just made some S'Mores Cupcakes and I loved it. Plus, I get inspired by other artists to create my baking desires. I thought this thread would be a great chance for us to share our recipes with each other and tell each other what inspires us or give each other a baking challenge, basically anything. Anything that could be used to just have fun OUTSIDE Anarchy while being inside it. <3 Please, just share your ideas and if there's anything you want to know or want me to do, let me know! ;3

I'm working on making these right now. I just noticed this thread and thought I'd let you know I'm pretty fond of baking myself. mostly just sweets, but I don't do it very often I guess. I don't know, but it's a habit I'd like to get myself into. :3 |

I haven't made anything in a while but I am going to a cupcake decorating class on the 28th of this month and I will take pictures of the cakes I decorate for you to see (: Also I made these ones a while ago:  |

Those will be really good Lynx.  And Minty, I saw those on Flickr too. They look really good. Are those some sort of gummies on the top of your cupcakes? |

Yeah, they didn't originally have them on but my mum came in with the shopping just as I was finishing up and I put them on because I thought they looked cute (:

yeah, the red velvet cupcakes turned out wonderful. {: a little dry, but not in a bad way. I didn't frost them though, so they'd probably be better with some cream cheese frosting.

Yum. I hardly make red velvet cupcakes. I mostly make Chocolate cakes and frost them. {probably because I love chocolate <33}
However, my best friend doesn't eat Chocolate so I do make a lot of vanilla things too. I just dye the cake with food coloring. Food coloring = a baker's best friend. I love working with food coloring.

I have seen pictures of huge cakes that have loads of different layers and each layer is a different colour and homg. It looks amazing! I want a multi-coloured layer cake XD But yeah a little forsting would have gone well with those I think lynx. The only trouble for me is that my oven is a little messed up so that makes it difficult to get the sponge just right sometimes.
Regarding my cupcake classes.....
P.S. I think I'm making oreo stuffed cookies tomorrow, will try and let you guys know how they turn out.

Oh my gosh, those are so good! I love the pink one <333
How'd you make that? I can't make things like that unfortunately = icing is my worst flaw in baking. I try to practice, it's just hard to accomplish. My hands are really shaky all the time for fear to mess up. I decorate well though I think, and I can think of ideas, it's just putting it all together is harder than I think.

It was a slanted top I used for the piping bag and you just make little curves and keep going around it to make a sort of rose thing, it's the same sort of thing you would use to make a rose on a rose nail only you did it straight on the cake. To be honest it was really hard to do, it hurt my hands and it took ageeees and because you would need a lot of practice to make it look great I'm not sure it's worth it.
As for your cupcakes I think I saw that picture on your tumblr and they are really cute, I love marshmallows! Ooooh maybe you could make some and use fluff as icing...idea! Although fluff loses it's shape after a while so you couldn't do anything fancy with it.

Fluff icing, I never thought of using that and it's a good idea. I'll try that next time, thanks Minty.
