Ahoy Mate!

The pirate party cupcakes were a success! They turned out so cute and with the setup at the venue, they were even better! I had a great time making them (aside from the burn I got on the oven door, sigh). I was also asked to take photos at the party for the birthday boy's mom. That made for a great time as well! I enjoy photography and hope to get into it a bit more soon. ;)

The party was amazing! The birthday boy had a pirate jumper, scattered pirate confetti, pirate colors, a ship's steering wheel, a present table, some pirate punch, and a bunch more! The best part for the birthday boy was the pirate who came with his parrots! This was an interesting show and everyone got to hold a parrot, including the birthday boy! Even though some of the parrots were bigger than his head, the pirate helped hold his arm so he could hold the big guys. It was so cute too, the birthday boy followed the pirate around everywhere he went and was talking about the birds. I told his mom it sounds like a pet bird might be in their future!

Arrrgh!

Time for some pirate cupcakes!! A friend of mine had told me about her son's birthday party a few weeks ago and I helped her out with a few ideas. I'd offered to take photos at the party to document his big '4', but the thought hadn't crossed my mind to offer my baking! Needless to say, she brought it up late last week, so it looks like I'll be baking some pirate cupcakes for the party this Sunday! I'm pretty excited since it's been a while since the last time I made something. This will be my biggest order yet at 45 cupcakes, but it should be loads of fun!

Good to be back

So there have been a few changes since I was last here posting... Biggest one is that we've moved! It's not far from our old place, but it's bigger and it's our own! Not to mention we LOVE it! <3


Anyhow, I've come across refashioning lately and am super duper interesting in trying it out. SO... I have to get my sewing machine out, change the needle, and get to finding some awesome fabrics or thrift clothes to change up. I'm really excited. That's not to say I won't be baking anymore... I love doing that too and will continue. Things have slowed a lot since I've been here and I hope to begin getting used to the new oven soon. =)
