My sister, Jen, was in town to help us move. Let me tell you, if you EVER are moving, call this girl up! She practically packed up our entire kitchen and was an awesome packer. Because of her, nothing broke! She was such a trooper also and helped us load up the U-haul. She helped us carry out our couch and king sized mattress.
Thanks Jen!!
For our 4th of July/Moving/Birthday party, Jen wanted to make some fun 4th of July cupcakes. Now let me give you a little bit of background information on JenA. She is an AMAZING party planner and has to go BIG on everything! She couldn't just have this be a simple BBQ and pool party. No, she had to put skewers on watermelon slices and arrange them into an edible bouquet and she had to have killer cupcakes. Her vision for her cupcakes was to have fun, 3D confetti things springing out from the frosting. We went to Michael's to look for themed toothpicks, and didn't find anything. We then went to Party City and still didn't find anything. So of course, we went back to Michael's and searched for 45 minutes to see if we could create anything. It wasn't until we went to Pier 1 that we found these straws with fireworky things coming off of them and miniature pin wheels. Our hard search paid off because the cupcakes looked FANTASTIC!
Firework Cupcakes Recipe:
* 1 boxed Cake mix of your choice
* 1 tub of Frosting of your choice
* Fun firework embellishments
Work in Progress
They really do look like fireworks blasting off!
