Pink Castle

Alexandra is celebrating her 7th birthday in true princess style. So I went with my favorite things: Castle and candy.

There are about a bagillion things I see wrong with it, but I'm trying to let the small things go. The most important thing is that it gives me a toothache just looking at it. That's the mark of something yummy.

Oh, and it's not as lopsided in person. I had issues with lighting and the flash, so this is a weird angle.

Sunshine and Summertime

To celebrate the end of the school year, Natasha's mom wanted summery mini-cupcakes for the preschool party. Enter: shark fins and sandy beaches.

The good news? The shark fins made out of white chocolate and dyed grey were incredibly tasty. Same with the brown sugar over buttercream for the sandy beach.

The bad news? Mini-umbrellas are a pain in the butt. The brown sugar didn't stick quite like I had planned, so it looks all matted down. And it is extremely hard to make waves on a tiny cupcake.
