I wanted to try a different frosting tip to make the creature look hairy. I'd already decided to go with purple because I'd seen the eyeballs on it and I thought they looked good together. The chocolate cupcakes had a plain vanilla buttercream frosting... with eyeballs.

Some with smaller eyes and after with bigger, bloodshot eyes
I tried using black frosting to add a mouth, like maybe the monster was screaming or scaring someone. It didn't help. It just made it look more like a muppet.
The vanilla cupcakes had almond buttercream and those could pass for Halloween cupcakes.

I didn't think to try the red gel before adding so much to the cupcakes. I didn't care for it.
I took some up to Eric and left some here for us. I've been working on making them disappear.
I didn't make a special trip to drop off cupcakes and bread though. I was headed to a Capture Crawl with Houston Center for Photography on Saturday morning. It was a walking tour of The Heights. Go ahead and ask me how many pictures I took. Two. I took TWO pictures. I didn't plan on only taking two pictures. (And by the way, I haven't even bothered looking at them.) It was a tour pointing out the different types of architecture through Houston Heights. Forget about the fact that as a kid I would sit around with pencils, paper and a ruler and design houses for fun but this house tour was also basically a history tour. So yeah, I didn't get any pictures because I was too caught up in the story and our history lesson. So I pretty much failed at the Capture Crawl but the tidbits of info I picked up balanced it out. I kind of feel like I could use a redo though, maybe one that isn't so interesting.
I guess I should find a way to get motivated before I fail at Monday too.
