cupcakes galore

I did not make Mikey's cake for his birthday this year. We got him a Costco cake and wrote "gimme two" on it --
His middle name is Utah
From Point Break...
"Utah, gimme two"
and he turned two this year...
It was good. And then we just got him one of those individual cakes from Safeway with the little train on it for him to destroy on his actual birthday.

I did make Mike's cake for his 40th. I burnt one of the layers...
It was fine.
Not a fan of people using my baking pans for MEAT around here!
ugh
(I need to get new cookie sheets too)
The kids Mike frosted it and the kids decorated it. It looked awful, but tasted pretty yummy ~
daddy got a crockpot

The weekend before her birthday, Paige had a couple of friends over for a sleepover and they went to the House of Air
She requested Red Velvet Cupcakes and TEAL frosting --

I guess they were good.
I didn't even have one, the girls ate them ALL

I also made some for the next day -- we had friends come over, and we sang her Happy Birthday again!

THEN
I made cupcakes for Kelly's Halloween Carnival at school!

(she wore Paige's old Mummy Costume, because they can't have their faces painted at school or in masks)

I saw these Mummy Cupcakes online and couldn't wait
to make them! I made 48 -- they are super easy
to frost when you have a bunch to do.

but of course, I needed to make some of those cute mini cupcakes...
(the candy corn was Mike's idea)

Oh, I am D.O.N.E.

(for now)

daddy got a crockpot

We have been super busy these last couple of weeks!
Baby Mikey turned 2 on the 5th and Daddy Mikey turned 40 on the 12th.
Just yesterday Paige turned 14!
.......14
Wow.
It seems like we have been baking cakes and singing Happy Birthday ever other day ~

Since Big Mikey's birthday was on a Wednesday (school night) and he didn't want to celebrate on one of the busy weekends on either end, it was a pretty
low key 40.

But the kids did get to make his cake

and I had a few decorations for him that I picked up

the kids "made his wrapping paper

and yeah, we really got him a crock pot!

and now she is a Big Kid

We celebrate Half Birthdays around here.

We just sing Happy Birthday and have cake -- I usually make one, but since it is the 2nd week of school, I have been a little busy.
{yawn}
So I picked up a cheesecake at Costco and made buttercream frosting and put flowers on the top.

So (as of the 22nd)
Kelly is now officially 5 1/2!
