Cupcakes + Ice Cream Cones= YUM

When I was a little girl, I honestly dreamed about the day I could make up the fun birthday treats for my future children to share on their special days. Now that I am a mom the kids can't even take a baked good to school! They have to be store bought! :( Well at least preschool is still an option for some baking fun. I decided to make Ashlyn some Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes to take to her classroom friends. Since Ashlyn was feeling sick on her birthday she did not make it to preschool on the day after her birthday to share a treat. So I waited until Monday night to make these up for preschool on Tuesday. Ashlyn was excited to help me with the sprinkles on Tuesday morning. I also had her help me pass out the cupcakes to all the kids. I think they were all excited about their ice cream treat, except it might have gone over better had it actually been real ice cream! When we got to preschool Ashlyn was doing very well listening to Mrs. Spier and doing the motions to the song they are learning. But when she noticed we were there she lost ALL interest in the class and only wanted us. She was happy though when she realized she had treats to share and that mommy and daddy were not leaving her alone.


 Nothing can beat a cupcake!








Happy Birthday sweet little girl, love you!!!

Lego Man Army

I made a bunch of lego man last week and it looked like an army of them. So fun and I am glad I used candy melts and not just chocolate because the yellow made those little guys POP!!!
I got this "ice cube tray" from the Lego store online. The actual store stopped selling them :(
Instead of water I used these yellow candy melts to fill my tray!

Brian was funny he said I need a double boiler, which I have but the bottom I use all the time as a pan and it was dirty, so I microwaved the melts instead. I think I know what I am doing, but don't tell Brian that! ;)
 Here the melts spooned in. I placed the tray in the freezer for about 5 minutes and...

 I have a perfect little lego man that was going to be used as a cupcake topper! So fun. I made probably about 40 of these little guys. Ashlyn eat oh about 8 of them. When I made my cupcakes she got into those too so when I was decorating I actually had the EXACT number of lego men for cupcakes I had frosted. What are the chances!?! Teagan loved them and all the kids thought they were pretty cool too!!!
