It was a short phase, and I'm not quite sure if I was trying to be cool and fit in with my classmates or just attempting to blend in with my surroundings. If it was the latter, I would've been failing miserably, as my surroundings were a school building with white walls and gray lockers and not a lush and bosky forest. Incidentally, I've learned that even without the help of certain materials, I have an innate and useful ability to go into invisible mode and move about unnoticed, which means I observe a lot of things people might not intend for me to see...
Maybe I just liked the color scheme of camo, which actually translates brilliantly into cupcakes. I'm certainly not the first to do this; in fact, I followed this recipe almost exactly--it's a great tutorial, be sure to check it out! In addition to having a really cool appearance, these cupcakes taste quite delicious too. Plus, perhaps most importantly, the name is rife with alliteration--cookies and cream camo cupcakes!
I can think of no less than 20 variations using this method right off the top of my head. One could blend sports teams' colors, school colors, colors of countries' flags, or even wedding colors; the possibilities go on and on. Any suggestions for what I should try next?
I've never been able to blend in anywhere... ;-) Those cupcakes are great!

Hehe these are the cleverest idea!!
ReplyDeleteYou wee blending in with your classmates Grace:D
ReplyDeleteQue chulada con los colores.
ReplyDeleteSaludos
Stunning. I love colors especially the bright bold ones. Thus the green is so mesmerizing, into the brown and yellow shaded cake. Love it and thumbs up for such baking skills.
ReplyDeleteOh I love these grace.
ReplyDeleteThe colors alone are so cool!
I need to try doing this.
You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteNo judgement from me Grace. You wouldn't believe some of things I wore in my youth. (Huckapoo shirts for instance:)
ReplyDeleteThe cupcakes are quite creative and yes a gazillion blends seem possible. Personally, I'd love to see a Bargello quilt pattern, lol...
Thanks for sharing Grace...observing is a good thing:)
Lovely cupcakes! I almost didn't see them. :)
ReplyDeletethanks for providing my daily chuckle.

Those are such a cute idea, Grace. And you're right, so many ideas come to mind re the colors!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! Believe it or not, my daughter bought a pair of camouflage shorts today.
ReplyDeleteI wore a bit of camo as well in middle school...it was a phase. :) And one that I probably won't be revisiting..except in cupcake form! Yum!
ReplyDeleteWow! Very creative! Love those cupcakes,Grace!
ReplyDeleteGenial con colores se ven hermosos,hugs.
ReplyDeleteah Grace these look absolutely georgeous and the chocolate...delicious!xo
ReplyDeleteSo clever -- the cupcake and the post. You have outdone yourself. ;)
ReplyDeleteI am the opposite - I try not to blend in! :) Love the alliteration on the recipe title. Maybe red white and blue for the upcoming July 4th?
ReplyDeleteWho wants to blend in when you can stand out? Be your sweet self!
