I've done another birthday party, this time the theme was sock monkey. So cute.
I made the toppers myself, and I think they turned out pretty great!
Here's the next thing I did - a Bridal Shower. The theme was purple, white and bling. The flavors are Purple Velvet with White Chocolate Buttercream and Vanilla with Vanilla Buttercream, tinted dark purple. They looked great!
For Easter, being a cupcake maker, I had to make Easter-themed cupcakes. My inlaws had already requested Peanut Butter Cup cupcakes, but I wanted to make something new. So I tried a Cadburry Egg cupcake... and boy, was it good.
The center was a mini Cadburry Egg, and the top was a vanilla buttercream, I frosted to look like an egg. People were in love, hah! They turned out tasting WAY better than I had expected.
I love when that happens. ;)
I also got a new phone case! It, of course, has a cupcake on it:
And I googled around and found a promo code, so I got $5 off. Makes it extra sweet!
Last but not least, we had a 30 hour famine fundraiser at church. The teens in the youth group were raising money for children in Africa who have little or nothing to eat. They went 30 hours without eating, and at the end, we cooked up African themed food, and of course, cupcakes.
They are zebra cakes (white and chocolate vanilla cake layered in the cups, to create a zebra cake) with jungle grass, and chocolate jungle animal suckers in the tops. The kids raved, and it was for a good cause!
