Sleeping Beauty

 My 4 year old daughter is obsessed with Sleeping Beauty.  Funny thing is, she had never seen the actual film before- until Thursday night.  We finally had the opportunity to watch it with another Aroura fan.  In honor of the special occasion we prepared Sleeping Beauty Pudding cups (Strawberries-N-Cream pudding with a Cool Whip topping), and Sleeping Beauty Cupcakes (strawberry cake with vanilla frosting, topped with a small strawberry).  The cupcakes were just little bite-size treats. 

I actually loved the movie!  Meriweather was by far my favorite character.  She was just too adorable.  And I must say, I'm a bit frustrated with her and Flor (I think it was Flora?).  If they would have acted just a bit more mature Aurora would have been a-okay!

Be My Valentine!

Maiya Dea

I had the honor of making blessing cupcakes for a dear friend's baby girl, Maiya Dea.  She's definitely a "pretty in pink" type of girl, so fitting is the perfectly pink almond frosting atop a dark chocolate cupcake.

Something's Fishy

Oh my!  My baby boy turned ONE year old last Saturday.  We had a small, fishy birthday party for him, complete with fishy cupcakes and a golfish cake.

Yes, I know that fondant makes a cake look a little more polished and "complete," but let's face it, no one really wants to eat fondant.  That's why I pretty much avoid it. 

Baby boy was a little slow at getting into the cake spirit, but after a few minutes he figured out how yummy that orange golfish frosting really was.

Happy Birthday, Baby Boy!
