Baking | Soccer Cupcakes

I am so proud of the way my Denmark vs Holland cupcakes turned out,

that I decided they deserved a post of their own!

Obviously, no baking happens without my favorite

(and well, only) apron.

A couple of days ago I bought this tip in order to make grass with my icing.

And it worked like a charm! 

At least for the first cupcake.

Then, after the first cupcake, things starting going badly. 

The tip I'd bought didn't fit my piping bag, and I thought I could fix it,

but it was really complicated.

It ended up requiring tools from hubby's toolbox and several hours

of hard work.

But in the end, we managed to make it cooperate,

and this is the result:

I made the flags from fondant yesterday, and let them dry overnight.

I cheated a bit and bought the soccer balls.

I think they turned out pretty neat, and it was such a great night.

And oh, Denmark won (YAY!) in case you didn't know.. 

Who are you rooting for in this year's Euro Cup?

Euro Cup 2012 | Prepping for the game

Okay, the Denmark-Holland game tonight!

Me and hubby were invited to watch the match with a bunch of friends,

and of course we accepted.

The more, the merrier, right?

Then we realized - we don't own any soccer related clothing.

Nothing!

I looked through my closet to find something red and white, and found this skirt.

Old, old skirt, but it's red and white, and that's what important.

Then we went crazy with those silly sticker tattoos from when we were kids.

It was so much fun! 

These pictures don't do justice to the amount of laughs we had

when we were applying these. 

Hubby's tats:

My tats:

Aren't we hot!?

How'd you prep for the game?

Euro Cup 2012 | DK vs NL

A quick blogpost before we're out the door.

We're heading out to be with friends to watch 

Denmark vs Holland

in the European Cup tonight.

Exciting stuff!

Who do you think will win?

I spent most of the day chilling on the couch and then decorating

cupcakes for tonight's game.

They turned out pretty neat, if I say so myself.

Oh, and we also got silly tattoos, since neither me or hubs own a

soccer t-shirt of any kind.

Lots and lots of pictures to come tonight, or tomorrow, or maybe monday.

Depends on when I get around to it.

Happy game day!
