So for christmas I got one of
these ridiculous doll cake pans from my brother, which revived in me the long held desire to be able to make pretty cakes. (As a little girl on two occasions I told my dad when I grew up I wanted to be the lady who decorates cakes at Shop&Save) As it turns out, I haven't tackled the doll yet, but I've made a lot of cupcakes and am slowly progressing as a decorator.
Anyway, these are the cakes I made up for my mom's Knit All Day celebration: little sheep and balls of yarn with pocky-and-cheerio needles. The cupcakes themselves were swiss chocolate with almond-butter filling, and the frosting was buttercream with a bit of almond-extract substituted for vanilla. I thought they were pretty delicious, and the knitting ladies seemed to be very impressed.
