Birthdays

There is something about a beach birthday that gets my heart a flutter. Last year I was asked to dress up as Princess Ariel (a birthday girl request I couldn't refuse) and make a cake; this year cupcakes!!

My niece Alijas and Ariel fresh from the ocean.

 Last year at my niece Akiya's 6th annual beach Birthday! Her one request was that I be Ariel she's a doll I had to say yes! 
This year when I was asked to make some cupcakes for Sweet Lily's first birthday I wanted them to be beautiful......thus began the flower lollipops her birthday theme was the butterfly

Dumdums and Tissue paper

 Here's the finished product 118 baked cupcakes later.



I wish I had kept some they were so pretty

I had an idea that I would be able to frost these cupcakes with my cookie press but turns out I need practice frosting I couldn't get the swirl on top. I have confirmed butter cream as my favorite icing to make, to use, and to eat!!
Next time ~~ A paper mache pig! I can't wait to finish it!!
