Birthday!

Last night (2/6) was Superbowl Sunday and the day that my family and I celebrated the 21st birthday of Jeremy & Jessica, my twin brother and sister!

I had the opportunity to make a cake, and with the leftovers, I made some valentines day cupcakes!  I definitely learned a crucial lesson in decorating this cake -- DONT EVER use store bought frosting!  Always, ALWAYS make your own!  I had both, a little of my own and a little store bought!  I tried to decorate and make the shells around the cake with the store bought frosting, however it was too thick and runny, and dripped down the sides of the cake!  I was pretty upset and frustrated yesterday, but today I realize, that hey, we live and we learn! :)   The upside, was that it TASTED FANTASTIC and the family was all together to enjoy it! :)  

And the cupcakes turned out beautifully!  So far, I am WAY better at cupcakes, but am getting a little bit better with the cakes every time!  Pictures are below...

Let the learning continue :)
