OMG its PANKUNCHI!!!!

I did it! I have been thinking about it night and day, and now it has finally happened. Everyone, meet the Pankunchi cake... The mission of the Pankunchi cupcake began because I love Pankunchi and I definately love cupcakes. First I was thinking about making a panda cupcake, because I love pandas but then one day as I was sitting online watching pankunchi cartoon after pankunchi cartoon on the japanese pankunchi website I realized how easy and absoultely adorable it would be to make a Pankunchi cupcake! So the seed was planted.

The next day I went to the grocery store and picked me up some good ol fashioned cake mix. Yes that is right I bake my cupcakes with cake mix. Why? Because I am broke and it is less money to buy a 2 dollar cake mix than all of the seperate ingredients. I also bought frosting, I did this because I do not have a hand mixer and any recipe I have seen for frosting seems to need one of those. I then bought some peppermint patties and some m&ms too. Then I took my treasures home.

Then later that night at about 11 I began the cupcaking. I filled the first back too full because I am a total amatuer so those turned into sprinkle cakes: Meet sprinkle cakes:

Aren't they beautiful! I also made these first because the buttercream frosting in a jar was too yellow for Pankunchi so I used it all on these guys. I like this one the best:

A sparkly green snowball.

I was very pleased with my sprinkle cakes, but they are no Pankunchis. I decided to make the Pankunchis the next day because by this point it was 12:30 and I wanted to sleep.

The next day I went back to the store and purchased white frosting and as soon as I got home I began cupcaking again. I made cut outs in 24 little peppermint patties for his ears, and picked out all of the brown m&ms for his eyes and had a tube of black frosting to make his nose and mouth. So I began assembling my friends. Look at all of my babies!

AWWWWW I am absolutely thrilled with myself! I can't stop looking at them. In fact I want to cuddle with them. But instead I ate one and they were yummy. Here he is right before he went in my mouth.


I feel like I did a really good job with all of these cupcakes! They are delicious and cute. Mission accomplished. I am so proud!
