happy thanksgiving!

even though it was last week, seems like it’s thanksgiving everyday at my house. why you ask? well, i’ve been eating leftovers since last thursday! i’m actually thanksgiving-out, haha.

seriously, how much food can one eat at a given seating? whew. i always say i won’t over do it but, there i am, laying on the couch, about to die of the calorie intake i just had mistakenly consumed.

it was incredibly nice in fargo. so nice, that after laying on the couch, i decided to go for a 40 min walk around my neighborhood. afterwards, i watched stupid, crazy love with steve carrell and julianne moore. which i highly recommend :)

speaking of nice weather, here are some cupcakes i made not too long ago. flavors include: s’mores, nutella filled coconut, confetti, cookies n cream, chocolate peanut butter and strawberry. they are all amazing flavors. i can’t decide which is my favorite.

what’s your favorite flavor that you enjoy year-round? leave me a comment so next time i can post about it. you’ll never know ;)

it’s been pretty sunny for the past week or so in the fargo-moorhead area. and. i’m. truly. enjoying it !

since it’s still summer, i want to introduce you to mr. {cute} sunshine.

but before i proceed, i’ll give you some background first.

this little boy wanted some cool cupcakes to bring to his daycare. why? so he could be the popular kid of the entire class.

well, it was more like he just wanted to share the little cakes with his little friends and eat them after nap time.

but, i like my version better ;)

not unusual, but a really specific request:

nothing chocolate
light frosting
something on top of frosting

see? specific.

hmm, what do kids like? i know they love bright colors and fun shapes. right?

so i thought and thought about what to make. and voila. i had my aha moment.

confetti cake with a cute sun on top and sanding sugar. boom!

by the way, the boy was the most popular kid at the daycare that day. his mom told me his classmates kept telling him “thanks for bringing the cupcakes – we loved them” over and over again.

my version wasn’t that far from reality ;)

what about you? have you been enjoying the sun lately? if yes, leave me a comment saying how!
