The February issue was filled with all sorts of cupcakes that you can just "whip up" for your valentine or for party guests. And the cupcakes are sooooo lovely:
But lets be clear: my cupcakes would not look like those in the pictures. There are about 20 different steps just to making that little marzipan bumble bee (and don't get me started on making/shaping/baking meringue flowers!).
I can make a tasty cupcake, but it's going to have a big pile of chocolate frosting on top (and maybe some that kind of drips down the side).
What can I say? Just another reason why I don't have my own cooking show and Martha does!

I mean, those are so perfect, they look fake....who can do that without spending HOURS in the kitchen?? lol.
I couldn't agree more with you...the one thing that drives me crazy with Martha! Of course, I could make those too if I had a staff too! I think I like your chocolate ones better.
She always makes everything look so easy! I think taste not looks matters more anyways ;)
dude!!! those are CRAZY!! i don't think i could dedicate the 4 hours required to make such beautiful things that i could gobble up in 40 seconds!
Wow, these cup cakes are gorgeous, if one actually has the time. I think if i made these i wouldn't want anyone to eat them, i'd protect them with my life and send evil stares at those who even looked like they wanted to eat one!!
martha is perfect. i hate the fact she can do everything. when i make cupcakes they come out looking like poop.
oh who won the little circus photo giveaway??
^^ Amy (aka, post #16) won the little giraffe photos -- more giveaways are coming though!!
those are insanely gorgeous. are those mint leaves dipped in chocolate? i'm going to try that even if it isn't!
I seriously need my own "personal" martha.
need one actually.
xo
Love Martha/hate Martha. Anyone can make gorgeous cupcakes like that with a team of behind the scenes on-staff bakers. Honestly, I do love, but most of her recipes are too time consuming and many require ingredients from specialty stores, so I never cook them. I totally dig that Martha is always giving props to Etsy on her show.
hers probably taste like shit.
maybe not but lets say so.
And Martha gets paid quite a lot of money to spend a lot of time mucking around with these little cupcake wonders! It'd be such a shame to eat them after all that effort! My cupcakes would also never look like this in a million years. Hundreds and thousands is my decoration of choice ;)
