I've been "baking"
faux cupcakes!! I've turned them into photo holders and will be selling them at Relay For Life this weekend. These are so fun!! Here's the photos:

64 Large ones done, 24 mini cupcakes.... I'm done with the large ones but I'm going to make another batch of mini ones and call it a day.

Any ideas on pricing??

cool!
a couple bucks would make sense but it would also depend on production cost, you really should factor that in.

No, she needed a little wine to put up with her lovable but crazy children and the big one she's married to...just guessing here! :winkb:

No wine involved, but Starbucks was needed after a few hours of it. It's fun but kinda stressful, you have to hurry or the plaster locks up on you. I lost one batch due to it, and then learned to go in smaller batches after that.

Ummm.. I don't know what her recipe is, I got the idea from the photos on here, yes, but I looked online and found a recipe from CakeSpy.com that I modified. It's just Plaster of Paris, water & acrylic paint in cupcake liners & the photo holders are retwisted paper clips. I mixed the "cupcake batter" first, let it sit for about 45 minutes (by the time I finished pouring all 5 pans of cakes) I mixed up the "frosting" a little thicker and went back in the same order. I had an assembly line process going which helped.



I'm thinking that I'll sell the large ones for $3 ea and the smaller ones at $1 ea.; If that doesn't go over well, then we'll drop the price.
