Cupcake Craze?

It's been awhile since I've had to make cupcakes myself. I mean, I have been making them almost every week with children for various birthday parties but we had a few gatherings that involved cake this weekend and if you are a regular reader, you know that both of our boys are lactose intolerant SO, that means we bring cupcakes (or sometimes all of the cake...it just depends!)

Anyway, I was thrilled to get to use my cupcake stand that my BFF gave me last year! We had our first Christmas Party of the year...so here it is...my first Creative Christmas Tree of the year!
These were sweet and simple...it's good to take a break from complex once in awhile!
Then, it was our nephew's birthday party yesterday...I happen to know he is a big Super Mario fan and I had been dying to make some Super Mario Cupcakes for awhile so I was excited to finally get my chance!
Here they are, all packed up and ready for the trip to the big city! Off Toronto we went!
The kids loved these and they weren't all that complex...Mario took a little extra thinking but most of the graphics are based on simple shapes!

All of the cupcakes are Chocolate Mint with Mint Buttercream.

Enjoy!

Spatastic!

This party has been booked for a couple of months...seriously, there are moms (yes, I said moms...I have yet to have a dad call me!) that are that organized! I have been looking forward to it since it is the first Spa Party we've had in the Bug Shop in ages!

Here the girls are mixing up the ingredients for bath bombs...
And pouring the soap into my fantastic Ikea ice cube molds (I use them for everything BUT ice cubes!)
And the end results...the girls each made one with a charm in it (they loved that part!)
And here is everything all packed up...including some goodies from the birthday girl!
And finally the birthday girl!
(and her cupcakes! Yes, we made cupcakes too!)

Happy Birthday!

Enjoy!

Fancy Fairies!

This week's birthday girl is one of the original Creative Kids...yep, it's true...I went looking for evidence of this and couldn't find any. Rest assured, she joined us at the Creative Table before we relocated and when she was about 18mos-2years old. Incredible eh?
We made Fairy Clipboards, the girls loved the rainbow effect in the hair!
We also made Fairy Wing Cupcakes and Fairy Pencils to go along with the clipboards.
Each pencil is adorned with a set of fairy wings.
Happy 6th Birthday to a sweet fairy!

Enjoy!
