Yeah for me!

A friend of mine just had a baby (and by just, I mean the baby was born in February and I just now remembered to take her a meal) so I decided to try out a neat little trick with cupcakes that another friend recently showed me, and take the family the results.

I took a cake decorating class last month and I really loved it. The problem is that practice makes perfect but there are only so many cakes one can make, especially when one has given up desserts for Lent. So my skills are not exactly at the pro-level, but I have to say that I'm proud of what I made today. Here it is, a cupcake bouquet:


My results did not look as good as my friends, but I think the family I gave them to liked it. Really, though, my main goal is mostly just to impress the girls and I think I've got that locked up.

AS the recipient of this amazing looking bouquet, I can attest that they tasted as good as they looked! Thanks for the surprise treats sans eggs and dairy. We really enjoyed the black bean soup and sandwiches on delicious rolls. You bring a new meaning to soup and sandwiches. Thanks so much and we WILL get together soon! God bless!
