Cuba Libre Cupcakes

In my new home we once in a while enjoy a drink on a Friday to celebrate the weekend. Often this is Cubra Libre, especially with my Bacardi Oakheart Rum.

Today I was in the mood of baking as well as in the weekend kind of mood, so I found a selection of recipes on cupcakes that I could make from my Cupcake book. This one caught my eye – so cute with the small cola bottle, dark chocolate and rum essence.

Of course I had to make it.

 

DIY Fondant for Cupcake decorations

It’s my birthday.. And I honestly spend all the day in the kitchen preparing for my family dinner tomorrow. 

But I do like the kitchen… I really love it here.

After a move, money’s kind of short, but I don’t want my guest to lack anything. Not even the icing on the cakes. I usually buy fondant, but found a easy recipy on Pinterest on how to melt Marshmallows.

I had to work a lot with the Fondant, and happened to put in too much flour.. So it’s a bit to the dry end. Yet, it was easy -and I have loads for next half years projects.

Along with one from the actual birthday celebration with small birthday candles in it. It really makes a huge difference with lights lit in them.
