A {Really} Early Birthday Gift

While we were in Texas over Thanksgiving, my SIL gave me an early, early, early, early, early birthday gift. {That’s an early for each month until my birthday.}

An early birthday present? For moi? Schweet! I’m all over that.

She gave me this book.

Hello, Cupcakes!

It is filled with cupcake ideas that are made using zero fancy tools. And the cupcakes are simply adorable.

Corn on the Cob

Has corn on the cob ever looked so appetizing? I think not.

Popcorn

In the mood for some popcorn?

Pool

Do you enjoy playing pool?

There is page after page of confectionery creations just like these. You’ll probably see lots of things coming out of my kitchen from this book.

I was asked to make some goodies for a baby shower tomorrow. Perfect timing.

I decided to go with the petit fours.

001-Edit

They were very simple to make and actually turned out very close to how they look in the book. {Love it when that happens.}

I’m thinking next will be ornaments. Wait until you see the cuteness factor on those!
