Sweet Celebration

Birthday's are a big deal

in this house.

In our house you don't 

just celebrate on your

birthday, we keep the party

going (and the gifts)for 

most of the week.

And to start it off

there is always a homemade

cake just for the birthday 

girl (or boy)

These are for

my sister in-law

We decided to try using

fondant for the decorating

this time around.

So we bought a 

three pack of 

colored fondant at Michael's

on sale.

Like always no fancy tools were 

used in the making of these cupcakes.

Just stuff lying around the 

house.

The Mr. made this one

with only a knife and his 

hands!

I stuck to my strength

and made roses.

Super easy!

Roll a tube for the middle

and keep adding thumbnail

shaped petals around it.

I used some well cleaned

rubber stamps for this one

to emboss the medallion 

and rolled tiny balls of 

fondant and placed them around.

The great part is 

that we still have tons

of the fondant left for 

the next birthday!

Do you have any special 

birthday traditions?

I'd love to hear about them.
