I am pretty sure you are going to blow my entry out of the water. I am ready for it. So bring it.
P.s. how far in advance can I make fondant flowers? Do I store them in an air tight container once they have dried overnight or no? I need some pointers. I don’t want to make them too early. Help. :)
JANNA, Now don’t give me a big head (yet). I have been outdone by better cupcake-ers than me. I’ll have bragging rights after I win something first. haha. As for your fondant question. You can make your fondant flowers a week in advance. I would let them set overnight and then store them in an airtight container at room temp. I wouldn’t recommend putting them in the frig b/c they could sweat and go soft. You could line the airtight container with parchment or wax paper to keep moisture out. Just my personal fondant experience though. Nothing professionally trained about it. LOL. Hope that helps!
MARA, some of my friends love fondant. I am not a huge fan but I’ll eat it in small quantities. To be honest. When I heard jalapeno for CH I was kinda stumped but I think thats why I love participating in foodie events. They inspire me to do things I never would have thought of :)
i am still not inspired on jalapeno yet. i have a bunch of cupcake orders in the next few weeks so maybe something will hit me. if not…i might have to *gulp* skip?!?!?!
SUZY, haha. GMTA huh? Do your idea anyways. Who cares!
MARA, no biggie if you skip. Less competition for me! LOL. But seriously I hope you get inspired soon. I bet you’ll come up with something cupcake-tastic!
Oh crap. It’s your Cupcake Hero entry isn’t it. You’re about to open a can of whoopass on me aren’t you?

Whatever it is (I have an inkling?) I am exceedingly…appetized.
