Who doesn't love a good deal?

I had a half price coupon at Michael's last week, so I bought myself a set of cake decorating tips and bags. 4 tips, 2 couplings, 8 disposable bags and 5 colors for $4!


I started by just making up a batch of yellow cupcakes for my hubby to take to work.


I also doubled my favorite Cream Cheese frosting recipe when I made pumpkin bars, so I decided to try and make it chocolate! SO GOOD! I added one melted square of unsweetened baking chocolate and 3 TBS of cocoa powder. I also added about 1 cup of powdered sugar to make it thick enough to pipe.

I used a star tip and filled my piping bag with the frosting.

Nothing fancy, just playing around with frosting!

And for Mark to take to work- topped with my adorable Fall Leaf sprinkles from the Calico Bean!
