RSPCA Cupcake Day

Alternatively titled: Showing off my cupcake toppers because I'm kinda proud of them and really, if I can't show off on my own blog where can I?

Map Guy's work does RSPCA Cupcake Day. I will admit I'd never heard of it before which is weird because, hello, a whole day devoted to CUPCAKES and PUPPIES!

They asked for volunteers to make cupcakes to be sold and being the show off that I am wanting to get in some fondant practice, I put my hand up.

I'm loving my cake decorating class and all the tips and tricks I'm picking up but sadly, I'm also picking up a few kilos along the way, too. The great thing about making these babies is since they're for a fundraiser I can't eat any of them. Unfortunately the down side to this is that I CAN'T EAT ANY OF THEM. 

I'm so in love with them and really happy with how they worked out. I can't figure out which is my favourite. I keep swinging between the dog and the little Shaun the Sheep look-a-like. 

After spending so long making two dozen little faces, I kinda dropped the ball with the icing because I really couldn't be bothered any more. Let's just say the green slapped on buttercream is grass and totally meant to look like that. Let us never speak of this again and instead focus on all the cute.

And this is the bit where I tell you they weren't actually hard to make, just fiddly, particularly with a toddler who wanted to point out the animals and bring over farmyard story books every two minutes. A bit of fondant, a couple of colours, a few cutters and three thousand renditions of Old MacDonald and voila! 

Would you eat all the cute?
