Strawberry Lemonade

I wasn't sure how many people were going to be at the super bowl bash so in addition to the giant oreo cupcake I also made smaller strawberry lemonade cupcakes. Now don't judge to much, cupcakes are not exactly my forte but my sis-in-law Kim is WAY freaking amazing at cupcakes and makes the best ones EVER (seriously not kidding, the lemon ones are to die for - if you ever want cupcakes let me know and I will get you in touch with her) so I got a few of her recipes. I don't know why I struggle with cupcakes since they are just smaller cakes and I can do cakes, but they came out heavy - yummy, but heavy (I will figure this out though and somehow make good cupcakes). Anywho, the frosting is also a strawberry lemonade frosting; can you tell I love strawberry lemonade? The first batch of frosting was a bit grainy but I got all that figured out on the next batch and they are DELICIOUS! Beanie helped me make the little strawberry lemons that sat on top and then we had little pink sprinkles and yellow lustre dust. YUM!!!

Rock A Bye Baby

We had a rocking baby shower for my sister in-law who is having a little boy at the end of the month. It was awesome! My sisters and I made all the decorations, invitations, and deserts for the shower and my mom made her awesome caramel-chocolate pretzels. All I know is that I have some freaking talented siblings. My dad helped me make our rocking cupcake stand made out of old records (so sweet)! Oh, we also made a diaper cake that looked like a guitar.
We made a pregnant Kim complete with her own killer guitar, Beanie helped me make all the cupcake toppers to put on the freshly homemade by Kim cupcakes (yup, we made Kim make her own cupcakes because she is way to awesome and no one else can make them like she does). Can't wait to meet the little rock star!
