Yes, it's been a long time

I haven't blogged in a very long time. I have had some things come up that have required all of my focus. I still won't be blogging regularly.

My son will be turning 17 on Tuesday and he requested a birthday cake that looks like food. I decided to make these Chinese Food cupcakes from the What's New Cupcake book. I am putting the pictures here instead of Facebook because I don't want him to see them until this evening when we go out to dinner.








I used jumbo cupcakes and placed them on top of a cardstock base that I cut to fit the inside of the take-out boxes. This is the 3rd recipe that we've made from this book. The ingredients are readily available and the recipes are easy to follow.

If you are my friend on Facebook, you will probably be seeing these again tomorrow.   :-)

  7. Yes you haven't been on here in a while! I have been wondering where you've been! I hope things are okay! And I hope I wasn't too friendly to be invited to stamp club again one day! And wow it so looks like real food. I didn't get how you could possibly do it until I read the ingredients! :> He will love it!
