Black and White All Over the Place
Last night we had New Beginnings for our Young Women and my job was the desserts. The theme was “Is it black or is it white?” So, I used yet another cupcake idea from the amazing book “Hello Cupcake.” I searched around for different candies and decorations that were black and white (decorating sugars, gels, raspberry candies, licorice, white chocolate chips, Good ‘n Plenty, sprinkles…etc.) and decorated some cupcakes! Some of them were interesting looking…but all together I thought they looked fun…and the mini ones are always cute. You don’t feel guilty eating two (or six…..) I think it would be really fun to try doing this with different color schemes. This is an easy way to make cupcakes look like you spent lots and lots of time on them…one of the young men even asked if I bought them…oh, sweet boy.
And here’s my handsome boy…taking after his mom…sorry Nana…I promise he didn’t break it…
Before Preston had teeth I didn’t want them to come in because I thought he looked so cute with a gummy smile…but oh how I love those baby teeth!

I love cupcakes! These ones look great. I honestly thought these pictures were taken in black and white until I saw color in the 3rd picture. These are truck black and white cupcakes. :)

You are truly amazing! I love your cupcakes. (Wish I could have one!) What a great and fun way to support the theme and help to make it memorable. They are sure going to be sorry to see you go IF you decide to move away for law school!!! But someone else is going to be VERY happy to get you….anywhere you go. And yes, he is still adorable with teeth….a full mouth of them from the looks of it!

Really, you are very impressive. Those are adorable. I really like that grin on Preston in the middle picture. So cute! As long as he doesn’t bite, teeth are way cute!

Oh I wish I could eat one of those little beauties. The cupcakes I mean, not Preston. Although he is rather cute too.

Janelle, the cupcakes are so cute. I can’t believe you did them yourself. Maybe you can have your photography business and a bakery on the side. You could have your cake and eat it too!:)
