True Blood Cupcakes

Here are some cupcakes we made for the Season 4 premier of True Blood.

Sweet and Salty: Sweaty Alcide!  Peanut butter and white chocolate cake with white chocolate chips and pretzel piece then frosted with white chocolate frosting and peanut butter "fur."  Then topped with a chocolate WERE topper.

True Blood cupcakes: Vanilla Bean cake with a bloody berry filling.   Then frosted with vanilla bean frosting and a chocolate TRUE BLOOD topper.

No frosting shots today!  How about some Tru Blood instead? A fresh strawberry and raspberry sauce shooter.

Here are some True Blood cupcakes we made for a special order.

Face Painting

We have decided that we should a face painter come down on certain weekends to paint faces for the Crazy Cupcakers!!  Her name is Mandy and is amazing!  She also does make up professionally in addition to face painting.

Let the voting begin!!!

Here are all of our flavor submissions that we received in our Create Your Own Cupcake Contest.  You have the rest of June to vote, and to get your family and friends to vote.  After the voting is over we will start recipe testing with the top 8 or so that YOU voted for.  You can vote once per flavor per person.  {So you can't do 100 votes for your submission}.  To vote all you need to do is leave a comment with which number you like. {If you have a problem leaving a comment email me your votes}

I suggest picking your top 5 and leaving 5 separate comments for them. Then tell everyone you know to come and vote. Here they are in no particular order: (If you submitted a flavor and I missed it email me or leave me a message on Facebook)
