Emma's Beachy Keen Cuppies

Tomorrow is Emma's 9th birthday and these cupcakes were made to celebrate her last year of being in the single digits. I made these last night and instead of spending a bunch of time writing a long blog post, I've decided to just hurry up and share these with you. I have a bunch more posts coming so stay tuned for the recipes. I just couldn't wait! (If you want to see a full screen version of the slideshow, click here.)

Your cupcakes are totally groovy man!
When I grow up...I want to be able to bake just like you! :)

I bet Emma was thrilled with these.
They are beauts! Perfect for a summer birthday party. I hope the Seattle weather wasn't a party pooper!
(Those are really good and wild colours that have stayed true even with the baking. It's like reliving the psychedelic 60's for me! Crazy, man.

Loved those! I'm certain Emma did as well. The tie dye look is very cool. I also loved the fondant toppers you made.

Hi Julia,

Thank you for making my cupcakes. My friends loved them and I did too. It was great how they were all different things. I chose the boombox and the "E". They were super yummy! Thank you!

Hello-my name is Andrea and I came across your blog by 'accident' a while back and have fallen in love with your creations and have followed it ever since!
Your cupcakes look great-do you have a recipe for how to make them (and how you get the vibrant swirled effect even when they are cooked!) to share?
Thanks so much!
