(ghetto) cupcake photo holders

my cousin made some cupcake ornaments for xmas and i got to thinking....these would be great photo holders. and once i get this in my head, fawgettaboutit...off i went to figure out how to make these. they were relatively easy...up until the frosting part. it just took a lot of time because you have to wait for each phase to dry. expansion foam...wait to dry....paint...wait to dry...etc. so it took me like 3 weeks since after each stage, i'd wait a week or so to be able to work on the next step. honestly, i was just dreading the frosting portion of it. and for good reason!! epic FAIL! i'm not good at frosting cupcakes to begin with and i've only used a pastry bag to pipe on frosting like ONCE in my life. so you can imagine my nerves. well, of course, i was all set up and psyched myself up for this part and...1). forgot to purchase the right tip! no problem, dug out an old one that would just have to do. although it's not from a disposable pastry bag, whatevs...it'll do for now. i get all the spackle into the pastry bag and..2). POP!! pastry bag popped! Uggh..OK..now what? i quickly grabbed a freezer bag and thought i could just drop in the tip...not a good idea. ask me how i know. *sigh* 3). tip busted thru the bag and ruined the ziploc. umm..O...K..eff it. i'm just gonna have to ice it by hand..ghetto style. so..that's how my fake cupcakes became ghetto cupcakes. i also wish that i used plastic cherries instead of using little pom poms. but..what's done is done...we live and learn...que cera cera...it is what it is...yada yada yada
the only good thing is - don't they look REAL??!!
