Home for the Holidays is always the BEST. Our family is very close and we are not very often together since we live far apart, so getting together is always a guaranteed fun time. We weren't completely together since Mike and Nicola couldn't make it across the pond, but we are looking forward to their May visit!!
Moving on. We had a baby shower for Emily and her little bun in the oven. It was way fun with a heated game of baby pictionary, hunting for baby supplies all over the house, LOTS of pink clothes, and yummy food. I was mildly obsessed the with baby cupcakes we made for dessert. They were so adorable and made such a nice centerpiece for the food table.
Mom got the idea from a cupcake book that she got Emily for Christmas. I mean, just look at them. They were adorable. And it was only mildly disturbing to take off their heads and eat them : ).
Here's how we made them
Start off with the same amount of large and small cupcakes
Add food coloring to some icing. We used pink for the faces and green and yellow for the blankets.
Stir it up
Once the faces are iced, put the "eyes" on (chocolate jimmies). We found using tweezers was the best/easiest way to get jimmies on without messing up the icing.
Add some candy binkies and mini marshmellows that are cut in half around the top of the head (not pictured).
Stick a toothpick into the bottom of the face, have a good laugh about the fact that it looks like the baby is smoking, and then....
attach the head.
Set it up on party day
And receive the compliments : )
so cute! you are such a little martha stewart!
