Funny or Gross?

When I saw these rats the idea for these cupcakes automatically popped into my mind.

Some might find it a little gross but to me it's pretty hilarious!

For those that know me, I've had my moments of playing jokes on my loved ones and creating these cupcakes brought back funny memories for me..haha!

One time, I came up with the brilliant idea to fool my sister. You see, when it came to sweet bread she would just jump right into it with a huuuge bite, so really my plan was guaranteed to succeed!!

(with odds like that how could I  not go ahead with my plan, right?)

My plan was: to buy some pan de huevo, which is a Mexican sweet bread and inject it with green and black colored water so that it would look perfectly tasty on the outside but once bitten would look as if it was all disgusting and molded!!! yuckkkk...hahaha

(Omgosh, as I write this I can't help but reminisce and laugh out loud!)

Sure enough, my sister walks in and is all excited to see some delicious sweet bread, grabs the one perfectly positioned for her and takes a huuuuuuuuge bite!

She realizes that her bread is somehow all disgusting and moldy inside and starts freaking out!

She spits all of her bread out, on the floor and starts trying to rid her mouth of any tiny morsel that is left and gagging herself while screaming that she's going to die!

In the meantime, I am totally laughing my butt off unable to control myself, I'm a total snorting and laughing mess and it's awesome!!! hahaha

Gosh I sure do treasure that memory, it went off so perfectly! It was a masterpiece. ;0)

(I know you still love me Li, I love you too)

So, back to the cupcakes! That's what I think about when I look at these creations and needless to say, I surely walk away with a broad smile upon my face!! haha

Thanks for spending time with me today, I hope you had a little laugh!

Spooky Ghosts

Hi! Hope your having a great week so far!

Today I'm going to share my Ghost Creations! I had so much fun making these and they really bring smiles to everyone's faces!

Last year I made some single ghost cupcakes, and made a few more this year sitting in fun colored frosting borders.

Then I had a thought, "what about a whole family of ghosts? Trios of ghosts? Maybe a cute couple?"

Therefore these cute concoctions were born!

Gaggle of Ghosts

I love how each cupcake is it's own unique piece of art, 

and every little ghost seems to have his very own personality too!

How can you not smile?? :0)

I might just have to make some real counterparts to these, marshmallow ghosts might just be completely yummy, don't you think?!

Hope you enjoyed our ghostly buddies!

Thanks for spending time with me today!

She's Mellllllltttingggggg!!!!!!

I love being a goofball...because it means I can derive pleasure from the goofiest things!

Which of course makes life more enjoyable, haha ;0)

99.9% of my items are one of  a kind because I hand make most of the embellishments used on them, so I sit and make a batch of what inspires me and I just don't know if I will remake any. 

So if you see something you like, grab it before it's gone! :0)

Imagine Out Loud Store

I just created some new witch themed fake cupcakes and they really crack me up!

It all started out with the witch crash legs and I am so loving the way they came out!!

I wanted the frosting to look like the underside of a fancy dress, 

because my witches are fun witches and they love to get all dolled up!

Then this idea popped into my mind!..How about a melting witch?!

How lucky are they to be melting into delicious frosting? hehe

I LOVE these so much! Every time I look at them I can't help but to start singing,

"ding dong the witch is dead..mean old witch...la la la"

Now that you have that song in your head too, here is another smile maker to enjoy!

This cupcake really makes me laugh because if you look closely the cupcake liner looks like it is her legs, and makes her completely adorable!

I hope you enjoyed my ladies as much as I have enjoyed creating them!

Thanks for stopping by!

Dia De Los Muertos

I will be sharing some new creations with you all, this time around we have some Day of The Dead theme cupcakes. These small skulls were hand painted and then applied to the faux cupcakes.

I even made some hand made mini roses!

I hope you like them, It was so fun painting the "sugar skulls!"

This one is a bride and Groom, hence the love in his eyes.

These will be going up in my shop!

Just like most of my items, they are truly One Of A Kind.

Thanks for stopping by!

A Little Christmas In July

Every July I get the itch to craft for the holidays! I think it might be the fact that it gets so darn hot here, and my mind yearns to escape it!

 So,I made some little snowman cupcake family ornaments for my shop!

Family With Son

One family has a son, the other a daughter but they can be customized to fit your family!

Family With Daughter

I also made some lovely single snow people. :0)

Red Polka Dot Frosty

This one is a mini snowgirl

Blue Polka Dotted Frosty

I need help with a name for Frosty's female friend, lol

Pink Girlie Snow Woman

I love how cheerful they all look against my new backdrop!

While we are talking snowmen, I also made this jumbo sized cupcake with a fake sugar cookie topper,

I love his sweet smile. He is a one of a kind creation.

Jumbo Frosty Cookie Cupcake

Also a first for me is a female frosty friend! I usually just make male sugar cookies, 

but thought, "hey! why not a little friend for Frosty!" I really enjoyed painting and dressing her up, more girl snow people are sure to come!

Frosty's Female Friend Sugar Cookie

This is what her friend Frosty looks like:

My LIttle Helper

Here is another post about my sweet little helper Sophia.

She really love getting in on the action and helping out in any way she can.

When it's time to take packages to the post office she insists 

on doing it herself because she is a big girl and can help!

I think she wanted to inspect the address here, haha

I just had to share my sweet girl with you, I can't believe how 

big my baby has gotten already!!

The fact that her dress matches my packaging was a total coincidence, 

I shall call it a "happy accident," as Bob Ross used to say! :0)

Thanks for spending some time with us!
