When I was still teaching high school math I had a student
who loved to draw anime.
She was a
really smart math student, but her real talent was art.
On the back of every homework assignment,
quiz, and exam, she would draw amazing pictures of the class from some point
during that week, and it was so easy to identify the characters.
She always teased me (rightly so) because I
couldn't even draw a rhombus that looked like it had the correct
properties!
My husband would completely
echo her sentiments on my lack of drawing ability, but he is always quick to
point out, "she can't draw anything with a pencil, but give her icing and
it's a done deal."
When I got the
order to make these Dragon Ball Z cupcakes I had two thoughts.
First, I vaguely remember when my little
brother was obsessed with Dragon Ball Z.
Second, I was terrified of drawing anime and wished desperately my
former student could draw the character faces for me.
Though the faces are far from perfect I do
think my student would be proud-ish of me... at least she'd say they were better
than some of my rhombi!
Seven of these cupcakes are made of yellow cake and eight
are red velvet, but they are all decorated in red, yellow, back, light blue,
white, and orange buttercream icing with blue and red foils.
The cost of these cupcakes are as follows:
Buttercream Icing per Batch: $5.10
7 Yellow Cupcakes and 8 Red Velvet Cupcakes: $1.20
Red and Blue Foils: $2
Labor: $6.00 per hour x 3 = $18
Total: $26.30
