A Despicable Birthday

Minions Assemble! Freeze Ray! Curse You Tiny Toilet!

Ah, I could keep going and going. Despicable Me is a favorite movie in our home, so when it came time for our home to celebrate a Birthday, Despicable Me seemed like the perfect theme! First up in the celebrations, Cupcakes for Alex's Preschool Class. I sure hope they love this cute army of minions.

Hunger Games

Once again I find myself faced with the task of making cupcakes themed around something I have no clue about, The Hunger Games. My knowledge is limited to the fact there are books, and now a movie. And the research I've done has only made me ask, what the heck is a Mockingjay!? But I guess the important part is not that I understand the subject, but that the birthday girl loves her cupcakes!

This Nest is for the Birds!

I love Robins Eggs. Next to Cadbury Eggs, they are probably my favorite Easter candy. When trying to decide what to make for Alex's preschool Easter party, I thought what can I do with eggs??? How about a nest? My mom always made chow mein noodle candy for Christmas, why not flatten them a bit and put some eggs in? Love it!!! Not to mention one of the easiest cupcakes I have ever made! Bonus!

Happy Birthday Hailey!

Today we celebrated my nieces 11th birthday with a fantastic pool party.  I was happy to volunteer cupcakes for the party.  My niece has out grown the theme parties, so I opted for some fun colorful cupcakes and threw in some cheerleading and softball stuff, 2 activities my niece loves.  They came out great, and it was cool getting my pictures at the actual event.
