Ok so clear back for Christmas I got this cupcake book which has all sorts of fun cupcakes in it for all kinds of occasions but they are not the type that you just make everyday due to the hours of work it takes to make them...well I decided my birthday was special occasion enough so I picked three of my favorites and found recruits to help me accomplish this daunting task :-)
I think they turned out pretty dang cute considering the five hours we spent making them. I learned a lot of what to do and what not to do as far as spreading frosting on cupcakes. Believe it or not the starburst present ones were the easiest and the pig ones were the hardest, which is deceiving cause I thought it would have been the panda bears. Anyway all in all it was fun to do and they were a big hit with everyone that came over! 
We definitely made a mess in the kitchen but the bigger the mess the better the product, right? Thanks to my mom, grandma, brother and sister-in-law, and cousin Cindi for all their help, I couldn't have done it without them!
Cindi loved the job of putting on the pigs eyes, that was her favorite since she has an obession with pigs :-)
Ya so the pigs turned out super cute but man were they a pain to frost their snouts which were a mini cupcake and the ears were gumdrops that we rolled out and cut into triangles. Which I was later told I should have just used a fruit roll up instead, that would have been much easier than the gumdrop sticking to the rolling pin...oh well I'll know for next time! 
All the finished masterpieces, I only had just a few leftover so it worked out well :-)
