Cupcakes for Benefit

This Sunday my nieces and my daughters volunteered in a special event to raise money for children with Down's Syndrome. They were working the cupcake booth, so what better opportunity to practice some more!
These cupcakes were easy. I used the Cinch cake mix in yellow and chocolate, which are both very tasty. Then I decorated them in three different ways to add a little variety.

Cookie Class Part 3 - Fondant Cookies

Today was the last of our 3-day cookie course. We were asked to bring some cookies, colored fondant, the cookie cutters we used for the cookies, some Crisco and some corn syrup. Getting this ready was a breeze because I still had all the different colored fondant from my daughter's birthday cake. I'm glad I stored it properly in Ziplock bags.
I had never used fondant to decorate cookies and I must say that I was impressed. The result was a neater, more professional-looking cookie.
As additional decoration, we used the royal icing from the 2 day of class.
