Happy Easter!

Sunday is my youngest son's birthday. It's the first time in a while that it has fallen on Easter Sunday. It made me start thinking of birthday cakes and springtime. I saw these beautiful easter cupcakes and thought how cute they would be to do on his birthday. Whether or not I actually get that far is a whole different story. I'm creative, artistic but not especially 'crafty' which I guess people find surprising. It's that whole three-dimensional thing that gets me. Maybe I'm just uncoordinated. Anyway, these are beautiful and maybe I just might try to make them myself. http://bakerella.blogspot.com/2009/04/eye-candy.html

I do cook, but wouldn't call myself a baker. It's more fun to me to not have to measure, which just doesn't work when baking. I love to throw in fresh ingredients in a great sauce or pasta without the precision of baking. I did bring cupcakes to my son's school yesterday for his birthday. He told me several people said they didn't like the frosting - including him. Great. Next time I'll take them all pretty stationery instead.....http://cupcakesandcocktails.com/barefootcollection6.html
