I Love My Sushi Cupcakes!
Today is Brittany's birthday and I made her some cupcakes!
I think these are the best cupcakes I've made yet... so yay! She got good ones.
From putting ingredients together to making the cake to the designing them... I'm going to say it took about 3-4 hours. Well worth it!

And I sewed her a Mr. Cupcake. He's not a real food... but he's still a cupcake! I love cupcakes!

Editor's Note: We found the recipe for sushi cupcakes online at Good Morning America Recipes in case you'd like to make some of your own. Check the recipe out below or go to their link here.
This easy recipe serves 8:
Ingredients
1 box yellow cake mix
Icing
1 1/2 cups sour cream
3/4 tsp. vanilla
4 1/2 cups shredded coconut
3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Decoration
8 green fruit roll-ups fruit snacks
assorted candies (jelly beans, gummy worms, gummy fish)
papaya and mangoes (dried)

Cooking Directions

Before icing and decorating, bake cupcakes according to box mix.
Icing
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, vanilla and coconut.
Add the powdered sugar to the mixture and mix thoroughly.
Using a butter knife, spread the icing over the tops of the cupcakes.
Decoration
Trim the Fruit Roll-Ups to the height of the cupcakes. Wrap one fruit roll around the side of each cupcake.
Arrange the dried papaya and candies on the tops of the cupcakes.
Serve the dried mangoes on the side to resemble ginger.

Do you like cupcakes? Do you have a favorite flavor?

so adorable, especially the mr.cupcake. I love those types of plush, such as nyan nyan nyanko japanese plush series-cats in disguise as food like french fries,etc.

I prefer mochi though and would probably decorate them all cutesy, too.

@zzz_beauty@xanga - Oooh, I k now they put up a recipe. But when you do... don't use regular cake. Make a pound cake or buy it instead. Regular cake is too moisty and slippy and... pound cake is more firm and easier to handle. :) Tastes good too!
@lisadoremi@xanga - AAH! people make fun of my cupcake creations all the time. Don't listen to them. They'll be jealous once you're done anyway :P. Same as with the comment I made above this one. Use a pound cake instead... it'll work sooo much better.
@alice - I love sewing plushies. :) I'm horrible at sewing.. but I try!
@AzNgUrl3510@xanga - Omg, me and you girl. EVERYONE knows me for cupcakes these days lol! They take pictures of any cupcake they see and tag me as it on Facebook, now. It's just ridiculous. Lovelovelove cupcakes !! <3
