cupcakes

I think that I may have mentioned that my sister-in-law commisioned me to make nursery rhyme cupcakes for a baby shower she was helping to give.  The shower was the day before we left for Denver.  It was a little hectic, but I did get all three dozen done and I was pleased with how they turned out.  I dare say that I enjoyed the challenge.  Here I have included some pictures of the cupcakes and descriptions of them for your enjoyment. 

"four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie"  Chocolate cake with dark chocolate buttercreme.

"Humpty- Dumpty sat on a wall"  Vanilla with vanilla buttercreme, humpty is a cookie.

"Hickory-Dickory Dock"  redvelvet with cream cheese frosting. agian the clock is a cookie.

Nothing like a cupcake to make you really feel like Supermom.

I will get back to tales of the trip next time.  I downloaded the photos.  I think that my sister has some I would like to get as well.  I have also started back on race planning.   Three months and counting and much to be done.  It is definetly goning better than last year.  Yesterday I got registration up and running, and also got a Road ID sponsorship.  I have filled out the paperwork for my permit and just have to send it in. Thanks to my sister the database from last year is almost complete.  It helps to have someone who really knows her way around a spreadsheet.  Once complete we will be able to send out mass emailings about this year.  Progress is under way.
