Twofer Cupcakes

 A cupcake makes everything better, so a Twofer should make us extra happy! Yes, the theme at Twofer Card Challenge is 'Cakes/Cupcakes'

I used the same stamp set and designer paper pad for both cards. 


I did a bit of paper piecing in this card. I used kraft paper and coloured the toppings with Zigs and Karin Markers.


I'm not sure about this one, maybe chocolate wasn't the best colour option for this shape cupcake:) 
I added some sprinkles with Liquid pearls. Did that make it better??? 
You can't tell from the pic, but I used Acetate for the window.

Stamps: SSS Sweet Cakes

  4. Hmmm - love chocolate cake no matter the size - fabulous cup cakes Jenny. I have a similar "melt, throw and hope" chocolate cake recipe. To cook it in the microwave, I substitute 1/3 of the flower with wholemeal/wholewheat flour and it becomes really soft and moist, not soggy/steam-pudding like
    Stay safe
