Birthdays and cupcakes

Keith and I were busy this past weekend celebrating a friend's birthday.  On Friday I went to the city with her to see the Bean and hang out. When I got back I made cupcakes for her party the next day.  She enjoys Scrabble, so I decided to make some Scrabble themed cupcakes.

I made Scrabble tiles out of marzipan and used an edible ink pen to draw the letters and point values.

Then, I stuck these on some chocolate cupcakes.

My new cupcake carrier, really came in handy!  I was pretty proud of the way the cupcakes turned out. :)

For her party, we had dinner at Giordano's then went back to her place to play games.  It was a wonderful time!

Cupcake Cake

This past Saturday it was Keith's aunt Linda's 60th birthday. There was a surprise party and she was very surprised. It was a good time. I made pumpkin cupcakes for the event. I used a decorating idea from the book Hello, Cupcake, and made a birthday cake out of them. Keith's cousin's wife Lisa helped me make the cupcakes and plan out the tiers.
