Monster Cups and Harley Cakes

This weekend has been a crazy one! And I haven't bloged about cakes I have made! What is wrong with me? I am a slacker! This past weekend I made these Taste of Home inspiered monster cupcakes. I used a german chocolate cake and (at first) buttercream icing. Then stick the oriental noodle toppings in the cupcake to make apendiges. Heat the icing so as to coat the sticks. I learned after lots of cussing, That i needed to use can frosting. After I used the can frosting it worked great. They still didn't turn out like the picture, but was cute.

I also made a Harley Davidson logo cake. It turned out wonderful! It was a butter pound cake with, as usual, buttercream frosting. It melted in my mouth! I love butter pound cake. it may just be my new favorite flavor.
