Clownin' Around

Lions, tigers, and bears... oh my! This weekend I put my baking skills to the test as I crafted clown cupcakes for a circus themed birthday party. I had found a recipe online that seemed easy enough to execute; however, it was a total flop.

That was my cue to head to Safeway and buy out the entire candy isle: Red Hots, Mini M&Ms, Skittles, Twizzlers, and JuJuBes, just to name a few.

$47 later I was back in the kitchen with ingredients and clown pictures spread all around me. I think I tried every combination possible which eventually lead to the creation of my very own BoBo The Clown.
My client and I were both very pleased with my take on BoBo in pastry form. Man, what a circus!
