Sarah Designs Her Cake

These are pictures of my daughter Sarah's 6th Birthday cake. When asked what she wanted on it she gave my her own design. I think I did an OK job of re-creating her masterpiece. I sure hope she likes it at her party tomorrow!!

Sunflower Cupcakes

My daughter turned six today and of course I wanted to take cupcakes into her class. A friend of mine let me use her "Hello Cupcake" book to get some ideas. There were many that my daughter liked and I set out (very last minuite) to find all that I needed. I have to say I was a little exasperated at how difficult it was to find some things and at how many stores I would need to go to to do some of the designs (not to mention the money I would need to spend). In the end I used the sunflower idea because the only things I needed to buy were M&Ms and mini Oreos ( I happened to have the rest). There were fun to make but a bit time consuming. I was up until 1am to finish them. In the end it was worth it. They were a big hit. The ladybug is my favorite part. I know Sarah loved them and that is all that matters. Even with the hastle I still love the book and would love to get my hands on the new one "What's New Cupcake."
