Cupcake Bouquets

I try to be creative. I started scrapbooking, which I think is really fun. But I LOVE cooking! I really love spending hours in the kitchen and creating beautiful food! Plate presentation is huge and I love making my food look pretty. I am going to a FACS conference- I can't wait! and one of the classes was on making cupcake bouquets. So I looked it up and I watched a youtube video and decided I wanted to try this out! I must say my first attempt was successful, but that doesn't mean I won't make improvements. I hope to make more of these until I perfect it :) I used a cream cheese frosting- delicious, but I might try another frosting. Any suggestions? Anyway, I'll continue to post my attempts at pretty food. At some point I will try cake pops! They look so cute, but I don't have a steady enough hand to intricately decorate something so small. Oh and I would totally make and sell these if anyone's interested :)

FLORIDA

I feel lame when I read all my friend's blogs because I don't blog. I just don't feel like my life is that interesting to anyone besides myself.

There are a bunch of funny demotivators and comics about blogging but I relate to this one most.

Anyway, I thought I'd write about our trip to Florida

We left on a Saturday and made it to our hotel and got food and went to bed. Then Sunday we went to church and then walked on the beach with a random couple we met at church also on vacation. Our condo was nice, it had a screened in patio. Please notice that the screen is transparent. It seems our neighbors across the way didn't realize this and walked around without articles of clothing. This was the only day we went out on our patio.


Monday we went to Universal Studios where I was finally able to go to Hogwarts and drink Butterbeer!! I was in Heaven!!! There weren't very many people so we walked right onto all the rides- it was fantastic!

The rest of the trip was spent in the Disney World Parks. Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom. We spent Thursday in bed because Dave was really sick. It was nice to have a day just to relax though. We had a great time!!
