Note to Self

For my husband's birthday, I wanted to make cupcakes with superhero designs out of frosting.  Well, I was making score bar cake so I thought I would try using homemade whipped topping and food coloring instead of store bought frosting.  Note to self: whipped cream is not a viable substitute.  While the colors were lovely (the yellow was like a sunflower pedal)  the whipped cream didn't hold shapes very well.  The Ironman cupcake looked like an underwater pikachu.  Another note to self: do not try to use ziplock bags as frosting bags.  While I was adding a yellow bat to a cupcake, the bag burst and I got covered in yellow frosting.  Of course that is the precise moment my husband got back from work.  He thought I looked cute covered in yellow whipped cream.  Sigh.  Luckily in this case it was the thought that counted.  In the end we covered the cupcakes with fudge, carmel and toffee chunks, so they tasted amazing.
