Bake Sale!

My sons 4th grade class is having a bake sale today so I made some (yummy) chocolate chip cookies (sorry I forgot to take pictures) and some cupcakes.  The theme is Mardi Gras so I used my Cricut Sweet Treats card to cut cupcake holders, then I used Don Juan to cut out the fleur-de-lis on 2 sides (if I had planned better I could have designed it on my Gypsy but it was last minute...it still works out).  I used the cutouts to decorate the mini cupcake holders so it worked out well.  I thought they turned out cute.  I also attempted to cut some fleur-de-lis from fondant on my Cricut Cake, I got a couple out but it was late and I was having trouble (I have not mastered the texture that the fondant needs to be to cut well yet).  It was fun trying and I had some helpers (my two girls).  TFL.

My baby turned 3!

My daughter (3rd child out of 4) turned 3 last Friday and she wanted a Ballerina Princess Party. I made one small sign as test of using my Gypsy (love it), I made cute little crown out of gum paste for her actual birthday (Friday) and then made a cute little party hat, and some cupcakes for the party we had on Sunday.  I also ordered some dairy free white candy to melt and I tinted it pink and made lollipops using a mold.  I really cannot believe she is 3 already. My youngest, who is 19 months, also enjoyed the Princess theme!  My boys were hiding from pictures most of the day so not too many of them this batch!  TFL.
