Little Mermaid Cupcakes

Like I said, girly heaven! Here are some Little Mermaid themed cupcakes I did for the sweet little daughter of a friend of mine. Little Mermaid figurines, chocolate shells and sugar pearls all atop buttercream frosting- yum!

Bowling Cake & Cupcakes

So I haven't posted any new pictures because either a) I've been busy to bake anything, b) what I have managed to bake, I've already done and photographed before or c) what I baked wasn't worth posting. Welcome in the bowling birthday party! Here's a bowling pin cake along with bowling ball cupcakes I made for a birthday party a week ago for my friend's adorable son, Talan (in case you couldn't read the cake). The party was so much fun and my 4 1/2 year old had a blast bowling! Who knew that 5 year old's could bowl??

Preschool Snack Time.

I was in charge of snack at my son's preschool a few weeks ago and since the theme of the week was Firemen and Firestations and such I decided to let the kids decorate their own dalmatian muffins. I took in muffins that already had the frosting on them and the kids used chocolate chips for eyes, pink jellybeans for a nose, mini chocolate chips for dalmatian spots and Trader Joe's chocolate cat cookies as the ears. Look how cute they turned out!

Disneyland Sweets Fun

Ok, so I haven't baked in like... forever, but I did visit Disneyland this past summer and used up half a memory card on pictures of all their cute sweets, candies, cookies, etc. Here's a little collage of some of my favorites.

The pretzel in the bottom right corner doesn't look like much, but it was filled with cream cheese and was a-m-a-z-i-n-g! Seriously the best pretzel I've ever had. I think Gregory and I had like 4 of them over the 2 days we went. I would seriously go back just for the pretzels... and maybe a ride or two on Space Mountain.

Christopher's Birthday Cupcakes

first photo credit goes to my dad of Rudy Calpo Photography.

Christopher had his first real birthday party this past weekend and it was a blast! Despite my planning every last detail I was finally able to relax once the party was set up and the kids were running around. Now he doesn't watch it all that often, but we did a Sesame Street themed party, basically centered around these cupcakes. Gregory's sister, Elaine, saw a picture of them and told me I had to do a Sesame Street themed party for Christopher. So starting with the cupcakes, we centered things around bright, bold colors, the letter C and the number 3, and all the Sesame Street characters.

The invitations said "Christopher's birthday party is brought to you by the letter C and the number 3." we had his cake done by Freeport Bakery with Big Bird and Elmo racing across it, these Sesame Street cupcakes, the kids played a stick-the-nose-on-Elmo game, and the favors were those little beach buckets with Sesame Street stickers on them, Sesame Street pencils, bubbles, Elmo lollypops, C & 3 cookies and those fun little crazy straws.

I know Christopher had a lot of fun and that was the most important thing :)
