The Star of the Party


Who here wants way more attention than the birthday boy/girl on their birthday??

I totally do. Stealing attention from little kids rocks. That's why I would go to Parenting's web site and copy one of their sweet cake decorating ideas. You'll be the star of the party, the envy of the neighborhood, the she-iz of cake decorators! You know you want it.

Check this out...



They have lots of different cute ideas and complete instructions!

And, while your at it...do the world a favor and throw out any frosting recipe that uses Crisco. It's gross, but people probably haven't told you. But, we're your REAL friends here.

Try this instead:

(My Favorite) Butter Cream Frosting

1 stick butter
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
milk to consistency
(food coloring, optional)
Directions: use hand mixer to mix butter, sugar and vanilla. Add milk to desired consistency. Add food coloring for flavor.

Yeah! Perfect timing...my little one turns 3 next week. I always bake my own cake (or cupcakes)...but this year I'm gonna be a star! *wink*
