Happy Hump Day! (ETA PIP)

I'm so glad it's Wednesday.  I really shouldn't be this excited, but I'm DONE with cupcakes. Big Smile  Greg made me promise not to do anything in the kitchen tomorrow, so I have a day or two off (I promised to make FIL a cheesecake in exchange for a JDRF donation. LOL)

I'm uploading a few pictures of the cupcakes I did... so happy with how they turned out, but really ready for a night where I go to bed normal time. LOL  Overall, I'd make them again in a heartbeat because the finished product turned out awesome, IMO.

Most of you are on FB so have probably seen these:

Re: Happy Hump Day! (ETA PIP)

  • They're so pretty!
    Surprise! It's Identical TWINS! Girls born at 34w1d. Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker imageimageimage
  • Those look amazing! You are seriously so talented, I'm jealous!

    I'm glad it's Wednesday, I would be even more glad if it was Friday! I got to meet my new nephew last night, he is so tiny and cute!

  • They are very pretty.  If I was at the bakesale I'd buy it and then not want to eat it because they are so cute.

    I'd thought of this last night but keep forgetting what day it is - congrats!!  Anyone have plans?  (I believe Crystal and Jen are both 5/12ers.  Who else?)

  • I'm a 5/12 bride too!! :) Happy Anny to me and all others celebrating today.

    Those cupcakes look SO yummy Paula. Can I have one for my anny?? Thanks! :)

    I've got some left... you could make it here by the time I get home. I'll even let you take another one back for Mark, too! LOL

    I will say the part I'm happy about is the filling seemed to come out alright.  It was my first time making a filling and adding it AFTER they were baked.  I was a little nervous, but thank goodness my Pampered Chef kit comes with a bismark tip!  The butterflies are all nice and pretty, but the TASTE is a definite bonus.  Although I think the vanilla taste is significantly stronger this time than last.

  • Happy Anniversary 5/12 girls!!

    I agree I wouldn't want to eat the cupcakes, they are just too pretty. I may be able to get past it and eat it eventually, I mean it is a cupcake and I heart cupcakes.

  • They do look really good Paula...have you thought about doing baking as a side job for some extra cash?  You seem to have a lot of people that request you make things.  Who knows maybe it could turn into it's own business!

    This is actually the first time anyone's asked me to do anything. Embarrassed  I also don't feel I could do much with it because they're not MY recipes, you know?  I find them and make them... that's it.  Anyone could do it.  But I'd LOVE to.

    My friend Aimee wants to own a bakery someday... not because she likes to bake.  Because she wants to do the business part.  I'll do the baking. LOL  We'll be like cakegirls in Chicago!

  • Morning - I'm stressing out.  I forgot to look up vaccination requirements for our trip...I think we'll be okay but I'd like to get Hep A if it's possible.  Have a a dr appt at 4.40 tonight, but I have a wax appt at 3.45.  I've been on the phone trying to reschedule either one w/no luck.  ARGH! 
    Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

    And for me - WE'RE DONE! adoption was final this morning for our oldest, now we're 100% finished and my husband is now legally daddy to two very happy little boys. We couldn't be more excited and I couldn't be more proud to have such an amazing husband and family.

    Yes So happy for you!!  I saw your FB post and was hoping this was related to it!

  • Thanks Paula - we're keeping it off FB for now, we want to make sure all of the paperwork is in place, birth certificates in hand kind of thing - we couldn't be happier though - it's such a relief to finally be done.
