Chocolate Mousse Cupcakes

So James's radiology class had a bake sale a couple of weeks ago and I thought I'd make some cupcakes of course! I followed a recipe for chocolate mousse cupcakes and they turned out pretty good. For these, the cupcake top is sliced off and a layer of mousse is added in between the bottom and the top. Here is how they turned out. You'll see some of the tops started sliding but they stayed in the fridge over night so they chilled before the mousse melted anymore.

The Chocolate Mousse Cupcake all put together!

And of course some didn't make it:

Overall I was really happy with how they turned out and everyone at the bake sale loved them. Yay! I have to give James credit for taking all of the pictures, I can never get the lighting right!

Ok soo....I made that rainbow cake which I posted a link about in the last post.  I made it last weekend but my laptop wasn't letting me upload pictures so I'm going to try again.  Anyway it worked out really well and was a lot of fun.  Here are pictures of the process before baking:

Pretty colors!  Aaand here is after baking:

Pretty right?  I really only did it to see if I could...there wasn't any occasion really....and I definitely pretty much ate the whole thing over the course of the last week.  It was good!
