Knit Night Cupcakes

Knit Night Cupcakes - Yarn Balls

A friend of mine is having a going away party tonight. She got a great job in NYC, and they want her there immediately! Good news for her, but bad news for us here in Boston!

The party is also a Knit Night, so I thought I’d bring some appropriately decorated cupcakes. This was my first time working with marzipan, and what fun it is! Like, four hours of fun.

Speaking of the party, I gotta go! Forgive my lack of words; I hope I can make up for it with the ridiculous amount of photos!

On February 25th, 2008 I was on the Martha Stewart Show showing Martha how to make these. Here’s the clip!

    I saw you on the Martha show on Friday. I absolutely LOVED the knitted stuff. I’m going to make that birthday cake for the birthday oneg this Friday @ synagogue.
    We have a vegitarian there.
    How did you make the vegan cake underneath all that knitting???

    P.S. Your YouTube vid was easier to play than the one on Martha’s website. Thanks for posting it!

    Hi, I’m brazilian and I’m so impressing with your cupcakes!!! Wow, I’ve never saw anything like that with marzipan. I’ll try (I say, try) to make them to my friends that love knitting… (sorry the mistakes, I don’t write in english frequently…)
    Bye,

    Hi,

    Could you please tell me how you make vegan marzipan? I thought traditional marzipan contained egg whites.

    Thanks
    Hannah

    I purchased marzipan for this project that was vegan, so I don’t yet have a recipe for homemade.

    I would like to know when you will be having your next meeting.
    I , and a friend who lives in the area, Yorktown and PV, would like to attend, your next meeting.

    Thanx alot.

    Ilene

    Hi Ilene, I don’t have meetings… these were made for a party about a year ago. Sorry!

    Hmm, wonder if you could do that with fondant? Those look *so* cool, but I hate marzipan. (Although, having never tried fondant, I couldn’t say whether I’d like it any better…)

    Super cute! My friends and I knit, and love that it can be incorporated into food somehow… especially dessert. Mmmmmm

    These are just incredible! If you did not provide that closeup, I would have thought they were a camera trick, which -of course- they are not, but they look so PERFECT and GORGEOUS they seem UNREAL!
    Congratulations!

    wow, martha is one tough broad! you did great though! i have been vegan for so long but this is the first time i’ve seen so much passion and love (and cute) baked into one little item. i want to make these for a bake sale for my textile club!

  24. Ramona

    These look to good to eat. You should make some out of polymer clay (FIMO) so you can keep them forever on your desk.

  25. Elisabeth

    Wow! These are absolutely amazing. And yes, I think, like Ramona, that making some out of FIMO would be a great idea. At least a second set.

    I was already amazed at the balls of yarn, and then I saw all the knits too! Edible art at its finest!

    The thought that goes into this is far more than anything else that is purchased to make a gift.

    People always remember when a gift or cake comes from the heart, and hours of prep have gone into it.

    And being vegan it inspires me to make more cupcakes with marzipan!

    Well done!
