Moustache Cupcakes

Friday, 22 July 2011

We are having a family photo shoot on Sunday (fingers crossed the weather improves!) with the extended family to celebrate my parents recent 50th wedding anniversary. I wanted to make some cupcakes to reflect the occasion and came up with the idea of Moustache (or Mustache for you Americans) Cupcakes as the moustache reminds me of photo booth fun.

I was keen to use my Cricut machine (it was sent away for repairs and just returned after a 5 week absence). A quick internet search and I found a free svg file here. I resized the moustache so that it was 3.39 inches x 1.08 inches, and attached a toothpick with some Japanese washi masking tape to match.

I whipped up a batch of Martha's one bowl chocolate cupcakes (our current favourite), added a swirl of cream cheese frosting and the moustache topper.

Fun. Fun. Fun.
