Ratatouille??

Ah, Halloween!  Definitely one of my favorite times of the year.  This year my son went as Remy from Ratatouille.  Each year I have tried to make the cupcake treats for Alex's daycare coordinate with his costume, and this year I was puzzled by this idea for quite some time.  My first thought was to make a lollipop for the top of the cupcakes, which I attempted to do using a Mickey Mouse mold.  I thought they looked great!  My 3 year old, however, did not.  He very quickly informed me the lollipops did not look like Remy, they were Mickey Mouse and I colored him wrong!  Back to the drawing board I went, when I saw this cute rats in a cupcake book and decided to give them a go!  I made one grey (well more silver really) to symbolize Remy and one brown rate to symbolize his brother Emile. I then made mini cheese cupcakes for each of the kids, and the rats, because after all they were only trying to find something to eat!

Firemen!

I love these hats! My first batch of cupcakes for someone other than Alex; the Lairdsville Fire Department. These little fireman cupcakes were donated for the cake raffle to help raise money for the fire department. I sure hope we could help :)

Fun Monster Cupcakes

It seems as though becoming a mother has also turned me into a crazy cupcake lady.  Since the first party at my son's daycare I have been creating some fun & festive cupcakes for his friends.  I have been told many times, "you are crazy, they are kids they don't care what they look like!" None the less, the cupcakes continue and I am loving it more and more and Alex certainly loves mommy's cupcakes.

My most recent cupcakes were for a Halloween Party we hosted in our home today for some of Alex's preschool friends.  Being halloween it seemed appropriate for some fun creatures to visit in the form of a cupcake.  They were a big hit! I hope you like them as much as we did :)
