dora birthday cupcakes

happy graduation

valentine's day

We completed a couple of orders for valentine's day. All of them topped with very tasty soft chocolate sugar cookies. The cookies were so much fun to decorate...especially since we discovered a new and easy technique that results in perfection every time!

We were also asked by a good friend to make a special valentine's delivery to her loved one!

This was such a fun delivery to make. On Valenine's Day I went to our friend's husband's workplace to surprise him and his classroom (he's a teacher) with these little cupcakes! One box of cupcakes had "Why do I love you so much?" written in fondant on the cookie topper and the second box had "Happy V-Day" written on them. 

It was so fun to walk into the school office knowing that our friend's husband had no idea these cutie cupcakes were coming his way! Unfortunately I wasn't able to stay until he came down to the office to see his reaction, but if the reaction of all the ladies in the office was any indication, they were a hit! 

superbowl cupcakes

I am not an avid sports fan but there are certain sports that I definitely enjoy over others. Football holds a soft spot in my heart. I remember spending many Sunday afternoons watching CFL football games with my dad...sometimes even a double header! Dad patiently explained the rules and I do admit that there was a time in my teenage years I was obsessed with a few of the players from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Since my son is American there are some US traditions that have become a part of our regular lives. This year was our first celebrating the Superbowl. And since we believe that all occasions call for tasty cupcake treats I whipped up some superbowl cupcakes! We spent the evening eating burgers and cupcakes while watching the game.

Well. What really happened, was my friend and I watched and entertained the kids while the guys watched the game. Typical!
