Jean Grey School cupcakes
In the Marvel Universe late last year Wolverine opened the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. This new mutant school is imaginary of course but that doesn’t stop them from having a pamphlet with faculty, a list of classes and of course: a twitter feed.
My friend Sarah’s fave Marvel character is Phoenix and last year I made her Phoenix/Jean Grey cupcakes. So this year for her birthday, I took the JG school logo and made lolly cupcake toppers. I like to imagine them being laid out for the Jean Grey School homecoming.
ingredients:
white chocolate
black frosting
Make the lollys by melting white chocolate in a double boiler and pouring them into molds. Pop them out and set aside.
I copied the image of the logo off my phone. Using a #2 tip I piped black frosting in two simple parallel lines.
Then added the straight line for the G and the curved edges to finish it off.
Sarah loves Coke about as much as she loves Jean Grey so I made some Coke-float cupcakes and placed the finished lollies in as toppers.
I wish my mutant power was to be able wash dishes using only my mind. School’s in session!
Ok, I found this post by googling some Jean Grey info (I’m a huge, nerdy fan of hers as well) and it’s the coolest thing I’ve seen all week. Baking and X-men combined? Awesome overload. I’m totally going to make these, and eat them all myself. Off to look up your Phoenix cupcakes! Keep up the good work! 🙂
