So on to hearts and cherubs and all that flowery stuff!
Today we went to our grandson's 5th Bday party. He is the best thing about January, arriving on 1-23-4...I love when the bdays have a way to remember them!
He is a wonderful bundle of energy, and loved the building set he got as a gift, and hammered away gleefully for an hour....umm, yes, it was noisy! But a joyful noise...
Cupcakes was the Darling Bakers Challenge at WFD, and I made a few to bring to his celebration, and a few for the adults.....
A hat for Miss Lily...
Snowman and balloons and a mouse for the birthday boy...to share with his little brothers..
Boston Creme Cupcake...
Devil's Food with Whipped Cream, Large size...
Little cherry pie cakes..
And if you like Drakes Coffee Cakes, my version...
Cherry Crumb Coffee cup cakes...
On the way home, a quick stop at The Christmas Tree Shop, but disappointed that there wasn't a selection of Valentine dishes or linens...
I did find a few things...something to use for Tablescape Tues...
So after all those cupcakes, you might like some soup...
Chicken with Wild Rice...
Think summer with the pic from the header above, Cherry tomatoes, feta, red onion, oregano, drizzled with olive oil...
Say no to snow...and stay warm! :)
You've been busy! yep, you definitely made some darling cupcakes! Looks great, you got me with the Drake's, those look a thousand times better than the ones in the plastic wrappers! bet the kids loved their special cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteSo I guess you survived all the little kids at the party?
Great new header!! Fun to look at the cupcakes again, and I'm sure it added to the birthday celebration!
ReplyDeleteKathleen - the soup looks VERY inviting...still so very cold out here too!

Kathleen, I love the header ... I remember when you originally posted the tomato tart.
ReplyDeleteI'd love some soup ... I think I've overdosed on sugar just looking at all the cupcakes.
I hope the birthday boy had a great birthday.
