Care Bear Cupcakes

If I were ever to get a tattoo, I want a tattoo like a Care Bear…

These were made for Eliza’s 1st Birthday. From the time she was born Stephanie had Eliza’s first birthday all planned out including Share Bear Care Bear Cupcakes. She had sent me a link months before showing a bear made with two cupcakes stacked on top of each other one forming the body and one the head. I am sorry I don’t have photos showing the process but essentially you make big and small cupcakes, let them cool, peal off the paper from the small cupcake, frost the larger cupcake, place the smaller unwrapped cupcake just of the center of the larger one and frost that one all while making sure it doesn’t slip off. It sounds harder then it actually is but I am glad I only had to make one for the birthday girl and not for the whole party! Accompanying the bear were cupcakes made to look like Cheer Bear and Share Bears belly’s.

Happy Birthday Eliza! I look forward to many more years of making you Cupcakes!

80's Cupcakes

This year I turned 25 :) I know some people don’t think that is a big deal (Nora) but for me it was! My friends and I celebrated the best way I know how, 80’s style. That called for these totally rad neon colored cupcakes…

Does anyone else think it’s sad I made my own birthday cupcakes?

I had a dream...

There are few thing I love more than being in the kitchen. Three of those things happen to be sisters whom I adore. Caroling 11, Grace, 13 and Ellen 18. For the past 5 years I spent almost every day with these girls as their nanny. I love them. The week of my birthday last year Caroline had a dream depicting the cake she was meant to bake me. The next day the three of them went shopping, got everything they needed and set out to make me the most wonderful cake I was ever to receive. It was stunning with 2 layers covered in pink and purple frosting. Perfect!

As the kids continue to grow older there are few things that will bring everyone together. Baking/ decorating is something I can always count on to get them in the same room, at the same time, enjoying the same thing. I encourage you to involve your kids when in the kitchen. At the end of the day there might be a bigger mess to clean up but it's worth it. Trust me!
