Speaking of nieces and their birthday cakes, this is the Belle cake I did for my niece, Addison. Whom I love dearly. She’s a tiny little doll who is not afraid to tell it like it is. She gets that from her mamma.
Of course Belle needed to be surrounded by all her princess friends, so I had to make cupcakes as well.
This blurry iPhone pic is not doing these gals justice. Sorry, girls.
It redeemed itself by picking up the sparkle in this pic, though.
I hope you’ve been having a great Memorial Day weekend like have been having so far. It’s included Tudors, baking, family, swimming, Doritos, more baking, and tomorrow, a Memorial Day cookout and belated birthday celebration for my niece and nephew.
My nephew is… uh… ten, I think. The perfect age for a hatching dinosaur cake.
For my niece, who just turned 5, a girly bejeweled birthday cake. Of course it’s pink. With a pink pearl necklace and a heart-shaped ring pop. See how is shimmers?
Every shimmery pink cake NEEDS swirly pink cupcakes with heart sprinkles to match. Sorry. I couldn’t help myself.
I also did some cupcakes and a cake for… well, I can’t tell you just yet. I want to. Really bad. But I can’t. Hopefully I’ll be able to blab it all over my blog in a few weeks. Until then, my lips are sealed.
Also? Who’s down for a giveaway?
Let me know,

As promised, here are some pics of our Florida trip. Yeah, I know muchkin is in pretty much all of them… and, yeah, this post isn’t about sweet treats you can eat, but rather, a retreat you can’t beat. It’s all good, though. Little dude may not be made of sugar and spice, but he’s still my sweet little cupcake.
Detroit Metro.
Duuuuude, she’s totally freaking out right now cuz I’m talking into this public phone at the airport.
Sweet. Dora.
How long until we’re there?
Finally, I’m free!
Going…

Gone to the pool!

Hi Mr. Turtle!
Oh. Hey there, gigantic, hairy spider that scares the bejeebus out of mommy.
Time to re-fuel.
Having fun at St. Petersburg Beach.

Lego store in Downtown Disney.
And I can’t take all these Legos home why?
Time for lunch at the Rainforest Cafe.
A few friends joined us. You should have seen the bill afterward.
Oh. You mean all these people are in line to go home, too?
Goodbye, Florida. Back to Michigan we go.
