Practicing...yep, AGAIN!

So last night I didn't feel like starting my homework and Chopped wasn't on so I decided I would practice my decorating. It was very hot in my apartment so my buttercream didn't want to act right. I so need an air conditioner!!!

Yep, another night of practicing!

I tend to decorate my dummie cupcakes all the time for 2 reasons, #1, that's basically all I have (until I get my dummie cakes) and #2, it's a good way for me to practice multiple designs. So here are the pics from tonight...excuse some of the weird color combinations, I got down to just a little icing remaining and didn't want to just throw it away. I mixed colors together to finish off what I had. 

More practicing...

So at the spur of the moment I decided to practice last night. My cupcakes didn't come out as hoped, but it was late and I only opted to use one tip. I need to spend a day decorating, well morning more so. After I'm done with my hw tonight I might practice more. This time I'll do different cupcake designs and stop being lazy by using only 1-3 tips...lol. 

This is my square dummy cake. My roses are awful because it was so freakin' hot in my apartment last night :-(

Practice Makes Perfect...

Since my next Wilton course (course 3 Gumpaste and Fondant) won't start until June 14th, I decided to spend my Friday evening practicing on my dummie cupcakes and cake. It was really fun but my buttercream started to melt so I had to stop. As I stated before, I don't take pretty pics so don't expect the background presentation to be awesome :-)

The purple star with the leaves??? Don't ask, I ran out of purple and didn't know what else to use to fill up the cupcake. 

This blue icing had piping gel so that's why it looks runny. I saved this from my nephew's cake, I used this to pipe "Happy Birthday Hunter". 

I have no idea why I piped leaves. I guess because I used a parchment triangle bag for the green icing and didn't use a coupler.  But I'm documenting EVERYTHING I do...soooooo, you guys will see randomness. Randomness is a word...it's my word, lol. It means multiple random stuff.
