Ink & Batter #2: Unhinged by A.G. Howard!!



This week we have our second edition of Ink & Batter!


Last week I had cupcakes inspired by Splintered by A.G. Howard, and this week I have the ones inspired by book two: Unhinged! I actually made them at the same time, green tea cupcakes with cream cheese icing and with purple cupcake liners to match the cover of the book!

This week Ink & Batter is even more special cause I'm teaming with Becca from Pivot Book Reviews! She's been one of the biggest cheerleaders for Ink & Batter to be a regular feature in the blog, and she does this amazing feature in hers on Thursdays called Cover Puppies (where she recreates the cover of a book with her adorable puppies!) so we decided that we HAD to synch our features! So this week you have Unhinged cupcakes here and she has recreated Unhinged's cover for her Cover Puppies of the week!

We're gonna try synching both features as often as possible, and if she's already done cover puppies for that book before, I will be linking to it here too! Go check out her Unhinged Cover Puppies NOW!





















As always all the decorations are partly traditional Alice and partly uniquely Unhinged! I used two colours for the icing, to reflect the colours of the cover. And then I made a yes-I-know-it's-a-butterfly-but-let's-pretend-it's-a-moth for Morpheus, some more bugs and flowers cause Wonderland still has them, a top hat cause we know how Morpheus loves his hats, more tea cups, Rabid the skinned skeletal rabbit that was a challenge head and I'm still not sure what he looks like... All in all, I had an absolute blast making these! Hope you'll like them!

Stay tuned for more inspired cupcakes coming next week!

Ink & Batter #1: Splintered by A.G. Howard!!



Well, here is the first official first post for Ink & Batter!

I'm starting with one of the books I've had in my list to make inspired cupcakes for quite a while! Splintered by A.G. Howard! Since it is a very creepy & a bit Burtonian reimagining of Alice in Wonderland, I've made some more typical Alice items and some that are straight from the book!

I chose green tea cupcakes (recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World) with cream cheese icing, and used green cupcake liners to match the cover of the book!





















As you can see, there are some bugs, the ones that Alyssa doesn't want to hear, some flowers cause you can't forget the creepy flowers of Wonderland, a key that is important to the story, a skateboard for the "skate girl", the clock that ticks, teapot & cup for when Alyssa has tea with her mum and a lil faery for Gossamer!


What say you guys? I had a blast working on this one, modeling with fondant always reminds me of when I was a lil girl playing with plasticine!

Stay tuned for more Ink & Batter cupcakes next week!
