Bowling cupcakes and cake pops by 1 Fine Cookie!

One of our favorite food blogs, 1 Fine Cookie, has done it again. Click here to read all about their bowling adventures! I love that these cupcakes and cake pops were made for a custom birthday order and a lot of thought and care were truly put into them (love the dragees on the bowling ball and the little initials!). Photos via Flickr. From the post:

I created bowling shoes, bowling pins and bowling ball cookies as toppers on the cupcakes.

Everything in red and blue, Carl and Mike’s favorite colors.

The frosting on the cupcakes was the biggest hit there.

I use a secret recipe that tastes unlike any frosting out there.
