Swoon-along update
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, a little here and a little there, I’ve managed to make 4 out of 9 swoon blocks in the Flickr swoon-along. After the third, I was a little discouraged, but I like the fourth and I’m motivated once again… Block #4: Block #3: Block #2: Block #1: All the blocks hanging […]

hoggy cupcakes 2.0
Tomorrow, Isaac will get one more chance to celebrate his birthday, at school, with his class. I threw together yet another batch of cupcakes and after much pleading, agreed to make hoggy decorations. Again. The kid is obsessed I tell you. Anyhoooo… This time I went with all buttercream and no fondant. It’s faster. Cheaper. […]

So there’s been a lot of steam cleaning and laundry. Then this morning, annababy woke up coughing like a smoker, and […]
calvin cougar club cupcakes
Last Wednesday, I was the “guest speaker” at Ike’s school for their calvin cougar club (on Wednesday, they stay an hour longer and have guest speakers, demos, etcetera). I talked about making and decorating cupcakes. I also provided cupcakes, frosting and sprinkles for them to decorate their own cupcake. And eat it. 54 preschoolers. 🙂 […]
