Frog Princes and Lady Bugs!

Well, I'm officially a bad blogger.
It's been way too long since I've updated this thing.
But alas, I found some time today
to upload some photos of some recent projects...

In March, my friend Chelsea asked me to make
some princess-themed cupcakes
for her little girl Allie's 1st birthday:

I wish I had gotten better pictures, but I was in a rush
to get these goodies delivered to the party!

They were mini strawberry and vanilla cupcakes
with little stars, crowns, castles, and frog princes.
(I was inspired by these princess cakes.)

Here's a close-up of a fondant frog prince I made by hand:

Later in March, I visited my dear friend Kimberlee,
and we celebrated her little Dorothy's 1st birthday!
Dot loves lady bugs...
(and meatballs, if you can't tell from the sauce on her cute little mouth!)

...and together we made these cute cakes for her:

We used Oreo Cookies for the heads
and peppermint candies for the eyes.
Then, we just piped on the dots!


Hooray for Spring, first birthdays, and friends! :)
