Cupcake Anyone?

Took a class on Sunday learning to make small off mandrel (not beads) sculptures. Much fun. So yesterday I headed for the studio to see what I could do on my own. Mom was baking cookies in the house and I was making glass cupcakes and baking them in the kiln!

Not hard to see the progression during my day. When I finished I was exhausted making petals, leaves, frosting, cupcake cups with a pering knife cutting little ridges in the glass to simulate the cups, getting the lil cakes in the oven before they cooled off - dropped a few on the floor getting them to the oven and scurried to save them, such a hectic life I lead. Searching to find the petals and leaves that broke off to melt them back on the cupcakes before they cooled off again. My My - well ENJOY! Hope you can have a little cupcake chuckle with me.
