I made shark cupcakes using my Hello Cupcake book that Jamie gave me for Christmas. I can't take full credit for these though; I had lots of help from Joel's mom, Mavanie, Brandon, Amilyn, and Wendy. Thanks guys!
Eli's face in this picture cracks me up. As you can see, he hasn't quite gotten the hang of opening gifts, so Allison, Kailey and I helped him out.
Whoa. Eli is ONE?! That is crazy! Didn't you just have him??? Man time is flying by. I love the shark cupcakes BTW. That cupcake book is awesome! Oh, and Happy Birthday Eli {even though I'm not sure if you're really allowed to be one yet ;-) }
ReplyDeleteCongrats on surviving the "baby" year! Love blue-faced birthday boy:)
ReplyDeletethose are really cute cupcakes...how did yuo make the sharks? i really like the life floatie thingies.
ReplyDeleteoh, and he looks so much like kailey to me in that last picture.
Happy Birthday to Eli! Holly- You did an awesome job on those cupcakes! I need to buy that book. My birthday is Feb. 18th and I love yellow cake w/ chocolate icing. You know, in case you want to try out another idea!
ReplyDeleteJennie, thanks,yellow cake with chocolate icing sounds really yummy.
ReplyDeleteJessie, the sharks are carved twinkies with a half of a vanilla wafer as a fin, and they are dipped in microwaved vanilla icing. Surprisingly all cupcakes were 100% edible (except the paper ofcourse).
Guys, the cupcakes weren't just adorable; they tasted really good, too! I can't believe Eli is one already, either. It really does seem like yesterday that we were over at Courtney's apartment and you unexpectedly jumped right into active labor.
ReplyDeleteThose cupcakes are awesome :) Very fancy. I'm glad he had a nice birthday and it looks like he really enjoyed the cupcakes. I know from experience that Allison and Kailey are AWESOME helpers when unwrapping presents. :)
ReplyDeleteMany hugs to all!
I can't belive Eli is already one. I remembered his birthday being in Feb but forgot it was on the 1st. I still remember you telling me you were prego while we were at jazzercise! Wow time flies. Love the cupcakes-very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteHappy Late Birthday Eli!
holy heck holly! wow! happy birthday to eli! you made some purdy good lookin' cupcakes there. it looks like a talent you've got. or is the book magic? cause if it is...i'm going to get it!
ReplyDeleteCourtney, it was definitely the book, you should get yourself one! It is awesome.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, little man! I can't believe it's been a year already. Those cupcakes look delicious and oh so healthy!!
