The cupcake curse

IS GONE! I beat it! I successfully baked and iced some pretty fancy looking cupcakes! My original idea of fancy flowers didn't turn out as I had first planned, but instead, I made lady bug cupcakes! Only appropriate since we call our baby girl "Allie bug".

More birthday pictures coming tomorrow....

We had a great time celebrating with our new friends!

Oh......just to prove that the cupcakes were taste tested by the birthday girl----I think it's safe to say she enjoyed them! :-)

Cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes

The last time I tried to make cupcakes it ended in disaster- I almost burnt the house down. In my defense, I was newly pregnant, had terrible morning sickness and had a 1 year old. It's been 2 and a half years since that time, so I am trying again. I have these grand illusions of beautiful flower cupcakes for Allie's 2nd birthday party.

I went to Michael's today and got all the supplies I think I will need. It's not the baking of the cupcakes that is a problem-it is the icing. And like everyone that has a problem with icing cupcakes, I decided to go and add extra pressure--actual decorations! Should be interesting!

Wish me luck!
