Captain, Captain, there are sharks afin!
This weekend my nieces visited and we worked together on a great cupcake project. Shark Attack cupcakes. We started off with a basic vanilla cake recipe and then added some red food coloring to make the cake look gory like blooooooooood… Ewwwwwwwwwww. And, scaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrry!
For the frosting we added blue to some buttercream (confectioners sugar, unsalted butter and heavy whipping cream). For the fins, we used oreo cookie sides, broken in half. We dipped the cookie halves in melted white chocolate, tinted with black gel color (hint – the wiltons color made the gray color speckled, like the actual fish – pretty creepy!!)
The girls were beside themselves with the results and didnt want to eat them, although they were delicious.
They also decided against going swimming at all over the weekend. Can you blame them? There are sharks in the area!
Be Sweet,
Heather
