Tying up Loose Ends...

I have been so busy the past few weeks that I am going to cram a whole bunch of stuff into one post.

Cupcakes!
Last weekend my amazing sister Jess turned 35 and cupcakes were in order. Here they are, courtesy of inspiration from Whimsical Bakehouse.

Crochet!
Also this week my brother and sister-in-law celebrated their first anniversary. When they got married I made sand castle cookie favors but Josh (my brother) wanted an octopus instead of a sand castle.

Since the wedding, octopi have become a bit of a theme. When they had their wedding reception with their Canadian friends last summer, everyone had cupcakes with fondant seashells except for Josh and Celina. You guessed it, they had purple octopi.

This explains why I spent the last little while crocheting purple octopi for their first anniversary. Thanks to Rosemary Newman (RosieOK on Etsy) for the perfect crochet pattern :)

Easter Bunny Cake

The 3-D bunny cake is complete! As usual It took no time to get the body and head together and then I spent hours on the details.

The head is white cake, the body is chocolate cake and the whole thing was masked with vanilla buttercream.
