Angie and I would like to apologize for our lack of involvement on Kitchen Couture blogs.  We have been busy getting ready for my graduation and our vacation.  But, your in luck because this post is a true treat.  For my graduation Angie and I decided that we would make the cupcakes for the parity.  Now if you know anything about Angie and myself ... presentation is everything.  For this occasion I turned to Martha for some guidance.  All of the materials used in the presentation of the cakes where from Martha Celebrations collection found at JCP.  The cakes where from the January/February 2013 Food Network Magazine with my own little twist added to them.

The two types of cupcakes we made where Grasshopper and Chocolate Blackout Cake aka the Orgasm Cake.  The cakes where made from a basic homemade chocolate cake and vanilla cake recipe.

To make cakes bake chocolate and vanilla cupcakes in your favorite designer liners.  I purchased the Cupcake Corer and a decorating kit form William and Sonoma. After the cakes cooled Angie and I cored the cakes and filled them with the mint and chocolate filling.  We then topped with mini chocolate chips for the Grasshopper and white sparkling sugar for the Orgasm.

For the decorations I wanted to keep it clean and classy and not so much "graduation".  I went with a white and silver them.  I also wanted to add a fun twist to the decorations and presented little candy cups that Angie and I filled with an assortment of different candies.

The fallow photo's provided a better description of the our work and how we set up the table.
