This was a small project to show us some basics of Photoshop. We started out with a cupcake picture, and had to use the magic lasso tool in order to select the whole cupcake and delete the background. This way, when we save it as a PNG image, it won't show up with a white background rectangle but rather will have the item sitting nicely on whatever background you already have on your blog/website/worksheet/poster/etc.
Next we had to use the lasso tool to select the top of the cupcake and change its color, and same for the bottom half. Then we used a brush tool to add "sprinkles". Although my sprinkles are kind of "splotchy", I think this is from the brush I was using. Overall it was a simple project in order to learn some of the basic mechanics of Photoshop.
