My husband and I are running all over the south Chicago suburbs while visiting my Mother-In-Law for the next few days. I hope to have some great things to show you all later and a few things are already in progress. I realize I have been somewhat quiet but I left my camera behind due to some issues it started having right before I left and we forgot the cables for the fancy camera my hubby has. Go figure my card reader built into the laptop doesn’t read his card either. So after I get a card reader maybe I can actually show you some deals later. I am having a great time without my kids in tow (can’t remember the last time that happened) and I will try to pop on later and show you some great stuff. Until then have a great day!

I am so sorry for any confusion about where my blog has been. I finalized the switch over to word press and it ran alright at first. Something happened (we don’t know what) and thanks to Troy over at GoDaddy it is fixed and you can now find MyRedApron once again. Thank you for your patience and understanding. I hope to get going again without huge issues. I know things aren’t completely finalized with the transfer and bear with me it will all get done but it might be a couple weeks as we are headed out today for some family gathering time. Have a great day! ~ Heather

Recently I received 2 cans (red & green) of Betty Crocker Cupcake Icing. Last night Andrew, Kyle and I being stuck at home in the snow made Christmas cupcakes. Now I am not experienced at cake decorating at all but the tips that come with the cupcake icing are fairly easy to get the hang of.
Kyle enjoyed playing with the writing tip!
I first played with the star tip just trying to get the hang of things and next time I will place my stars a bit closer together but for the first try this isn’t too bad.
And I tried to get a bit creative not sure if it turned out like I pictured but here is my attempt at a poinsetta.
While I had fun learning to use the tips and I think it is a great idea for a product I think the icing would be better used as an accent instead of using it to completely frost a cupcake. I prefer a closer to homemade frosting flavor and this is lacking a bit in that area. The colors are vivid and the ease of use is good. Maybe if in the future I could get flavored icing I would be more likely to buy this product.
I received 2 cans of Betty Crocker Cupcake Icing for review purposes the opinions are 100% mine.
