I decided to make cupcakes (of course!) and knowing that the company has a lot of men working there I decided to make Critter-Cakes (from Martha Stewart's Cupcakes, this is a great book!) with bright gooey atomic green frosting and lots of candy! The fun part of making these is the decorating!
candy used:
jelly belly jelly beans
butterfly gummi candy
peach gummi rings
apple gummi rings
large and small gumdrops
sour gummi worms
large and small marshmallows
fruit by the foot
m&m's
twizzlers pull & peel
For coloring batter and frosting, I highly recommend Williams-Sonoma Food Paste Set. The colors come out beautiful!
I divided some of the cake batter into bowls to make colored batter and then dropped a spoonful into the tins at a time, alternating colors. It gives the cake a tie-dye effect.

I used fruit by the foot to make the tongue, and lightly scored it down the center to make a "tongue crease".
I decided to make a few cupcakes that were more feminine with pretty pink and lavender frosting!:)
I made a few sugar cookie cut outs to decorate the cupcakes.
I had a lot of fun making these and what I love even more is that they are not going to my hips, they are going to a good cause! Hope the bake sale is a huge success! xo Lizzie
