For sure! Maggie is getting good at cupcakes, too, so we should be able to come up with a nice batch of sweets.

I love the look of the cupcake cakes…
How do you manage to ice the top layer so smoothly?

The cupcake cake was a tremendous hit with the Czarinette and her little lady friends. Not to mention Mommy and Daddy, who managed to snatch a couple before the wee beasties devoured it. Yum and thanks again!

GC - thanks!
Soosan - you just frost it like a you would a regular cake. I make sure my buttercream is extra stiff (DIRTY) so it doesn’t ooze into the spaces between the cupcakes. And then to get a smoother finish, I dip a flat spatula in very hot water, wipe it off and then slide it over the top of the cake.
