Wow! It has been a crazy busy 2 weeks! Last week my mom came out for Chris' graduation. She was here Tuesday night through Sunday morning. It was really fun even though I had to work for most of the time. The graduation was awesome and even better...the food! My mom helped me out and we made pulled pork sandwiches, fruit skewers, potato salad, tuna macaroni salad, veggie pizza, and his favorite snicker brownie cupcakes.
It was really fun. I used Reese's cups then put a square of Hershey's chocolate on top. I piped the tassels with half orange and half blue for Purchase's colors. Everyone loved them and they were really cute!
Next up was this week. A friend of mine introduced me to a friend of hers looking for a cake and cupcakes for her son's 1st birthday party. He is very into Yo Gabba Gabba. A number of my friends don't have kids yet so they're reactions were the best..."Yo Gabby what?" Haha! I didn't know too much about the show but I had seen pictures. She sent me a picture of a cake she liked and then said she wanted the faces of the characters on the cupcakes. I was excited because they're such fun colors and cool looking characters. They were just picked up tonight and they were so excited. It sounds like the party is going to be a blast- the characters face painting for the kids, bubble machine, character shirts for the kids, lots of fun Yo Gabba Gabba games and decorations. I wish I was a kid!
