Today marks the 31st wedding anniversary of my wonderful parents. Wow...... in this day and age, that is definitely an accomplishment! Especially when you have three very headstrong and stubborn children! To help them celebrate, I decided to make them an anniversary cake in their wedding colors. My mom tells me that she wanted the wedding colors to be white and pink but my dad wasn't having it and demanded blue and white. Somehow, my dad won that argument! My mom did kind of get her way though and had her maid of honor wearing pink with one of those big floppy hats! I'll have to find a picture so that you get the true awesomeness of these outfits! LOL I made them a pink champagne cake iced in vanilla buttercream frosting and covered in fondant.
Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!
A friend's daughter turned 3 and had a Tinkerbell birthday party this weekend. Her mom asked me to make some confetti cupcakes with green icing. I decided to take it a bit further and instead of making a standard rainbow confetti cupcake, I set out to find purple and green sprinkles. How hard could it be right? Wrong. I didn't really want to order them online for reasons that I don't remember now... but that would have been the most logical choice instead of driving all around Chicagoland trying to find sprinkles. I finally found them so all was well by party time! I thought it would also be fun to sprinkle some "pixie dust" over the tops :-)Here they are: Green and purple confetti cupcakes with lime green vanilla buttercream frosting and purple "pixie dust"
All ready for the party!
Happy Birthday, Kayla!
