Valenhogs cupcakes

It’s been a while since I have made a cake or cupcakes for that matter, but I offered to make some for one of Kassi’s events. 

Kassi has an upcoming ‘Valenhog’s Day’ celebration to attend.  It’s a social gathering for the teen volunteers at the zoo.  Last summer they did Christmas in July.  They’re always trying to do something fun and crazy.  So they decided to combine Valentine’s Day and Groundhog’s Day. 

I wanted to try and make some kind of themed cupcakes for them.  I had some different ideas, but when I saw these on Pinterest I knew I had to make them.

So, I made red velvet with cream cheese icing, butter yellow with vanilla icing, and triple choco fudge with buttercream icing.  I actually made all the icing, baked all the cupcakes, and smooth iced the grassy cupcakes.  But my girls helped ice all those cupcakes.  Mackenzie piped swirled cream cheese icing on the red velvet & Kassi iced the butter yellows.  Both girls did the grass!!

They did a great job!!  I am so glad they like to help.  Hopefully all the zooaides will like the cupcakes.
