Last night Emily and I were on our way to kickboxing and decided it would be a better/more awesome use of our time to make cupcake toppers for Scott's birthday party this Saturday! Emily went to cake school and had some fondant leftover from doing a friend's wedding cake. She used to work at a cake shop in South Jordan and still goes up there some weekends to help out for fun.
We decided it would be easier to make the toppers at the shop with all the equipment there. What a dream for me!

The shop owner, who happens to be Emily's good friend, was there with her assistant and they were testing cupcake recipes.
That wanted us to taste test Mexican hot chocolate and peanut butter cream cupcakes...
Absolutely!
It was so fun to be in a big professional baking kitchen.
Emily taught me how to dye fondant and use the sheeter.
We even got to raid the day-old cupcake stash.
Emily's toppers are on the right, and required intense sculpting/artist ability.
Mine are on the left, and required the advanced use of cookie cutters.

The final products! We were there until 1:30am.
Who would have guessed how much effort it takes to make things like this.
It was so fun though. Definitely a treat for me!
