birthday fun

hello kitty cupcakes
Originally uploaded by space oddities

My baby girl is TWO today! She had a blast at her party yesterday so much that she didn't nap the entire day. Instead of a cake I made these fun hello kitty inspired cupcakes (with lots of help from the kids!) and they were a big hit. I can't take credit for the creative use of candies to make the kitty face - I found this picture on flickr
for inspiration! I wanted to find sugar bows but couldn't find anyplace that would have something like that and was also open on a Sunday morning. We made it work.

Well, I'm off to lunch! We're going to ella's deli
for ice cream and a carousel ride for the big girl and her proud brother!
