So these are some of the cupcakes I lovelingly rendered for Zander. They were just basic chocolate with a cream cheese frosting but I went all Martha Stewart on the decorating and monogrammed them. I think this may have been my most successful frosting decor attempt yet. I am learning - who thought it was possible? Also I can't say enough good things about using gel based food coloring instead of the watery tear-drop shaped bottles. Far easier to control how much color goes in, and if it gets on your hand, far easier to get off. The key for nice shapes in the star-tip is to add more powdered sugar than you think is reasonable.
These are the beautiful flowers that Fleurs Bella created for Kate. I just love the little basket shape and the color combinations. What with all the snow on the ground, it's nice to be able to pretend that it is in fact spring already if only while we're indoors.
And this is just a picture of John practicing being a daddy. Not yet, not yet!
