I made dozens of these celebration cupcakes - they are chocolate fudge cupcakes with chocolate buttercream. Yum! They are decorated with purple masks that I made out of sugarpaste.
Now, a few interesting facts about Mardis Gras:
- Mardis Gras is connected to Easter, it is always 47 days before Easter.
- There is a lot of meaning to the colors: Purple stands for justice, green for faith, and gold for power.
- Masks are a big part of their celebration. For those in the parade, it is law that they wear a mask.
Happy Mardis Gras Everyone!

So cute! I really like the little masks you made. And finally, chocolate cupcakes on your blog!
I can't stress this enough, you are so talented and creative!
Cool - how did you make the masks? Was it a special cutter?
Hi Nancy - The masks were not made from a special cutter. It was actually the top part of a butterfly shaped cutter. Then I set along a rolling pin to dry in the curved shaped.
These are beautiful!
Thanks so much - I actually have a butterfly cutter!
Great Idea! Happy Fat Tuesday!
