Happy Birthday to.. me!

Hellooo readers!

      So as you may have read from the title of this blog post, it's my birthday! This is one of my favorite days of the year because everyone gets to celebrate the fabulous day of my birth haha, just kidding (I'm really not that conceited, promise). Anyway, I am so fortunate and thankful to have people in my life who love me! I am truly blessed.

      Last Friday, my housemates threw me a 22nd birthday party and invited all of my close friends to come and celebrate. But the best part about it was for the first time I had cupcakes that were baked for me! Usually, it's hard for people to get any surprises passed me, so you can guess how surprised I really was when my friend Gail pulled out Barbie themed cupcakes and got the whole party to sing 'Happy Birthday' to me, it was the best birthday I've had so far!

Thank you to everyone for showing so much love on my birthdy, and a special thanks to my housemates :)

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Hello readers!     

      This winter, we've been really lucky with the weather because it hasn't snowed since Halloween (I am certainly not complaining), but I have to admit, it just doesn't feel like winter without it!

      So what did I do to get a little taste of the snow? Bake snow cupcakes, duh! I mean it's not the real thing, but I needed some form of snow in my life to make the season feel like winter. 

      What was also perfect about making these snow cupcakes is that my younger cousin Serina was celebrating her 12th birthday, and every year she asks her mother for a snowman shaped iced cream cake. My aunt decided to switch it up this year, and instead of getting the cake asked me to make snow themed cupcakes! 

      It was perfect, I would get a little dose of snow and my cousin would be able to celebrate her birthday with these cute cupcakes.

      I baked up coconut cupcakes with vanilla butter cream frosting and used fondant to make the little snowmen, snow'lady', and snowflakes then sprinkled coconut flakes on top and around the cupcakes on the tray. They were a huge hit at Serina's birthday party!

      Well that's it for now, hope you all enjoyed reading my post this week. Oh and I'm still crossing my fingers that there will be snow before winter ends haha!
