Cake Walk Cupcakes


Quickly here are the cupcakes I made for one of my co-worker's daughter's school's Cake Walk Fundraiser. (that's a lot of apostrophes huh?)  The theme was "under the Big Top".  Big Top meaning circus in case you didn't know.  I really love that it has a theme but I struggled to stick to one idea.  So...I just made super bright fun cupcakes.  I think it fits the theme.  I still have to name them though....

I immediately started thinking stripes and elephants.  Dumbo also came to mind.  Then I thought of the foods you eat at the circus and almost decided on making

The Sno Cone ones are my favorite and I may have to make those at a later date but for now I made it simple.  Also, again how fun is a circus!!!
