Pokemon Cupcakes, Version 1

These cupcakes were made at the request of one of my nephews. I used hard icing for the Pokemon faces and a black gel to paint in the features - I found that this tended to 'bleed' onto the hard icing, though, so I don't think I will use them again. As for the Pokeballs, I used up all of my liquid food colouring trying to make black! Time to invest in some black gel colouring, I think!
