Happy birthday, Boo!

My mum would NEVER do anything like this. HAHA…ha…ah…crap.

When I was little, I didn’t like frosting. Of course, we know that’s a different story now. Weird, eh?

I see cupcakes as mini more manageable cakes when I’m too lazy to make a huge one. I.E. Instead of making an entire Carrot Cake I’m happy with making just a dozen carrot cupcakes.

If your daughter bakes with you, she’ll also have fond memories of those days when she used to bake with mommy. I know I remember the days when my own mum had less children, and more time to cook. These days she’s too busy working and traveling, but I’m glad I’ve inherited her trusty Kitchenaid and love for all things to do with food.

Thanks for all your good wishes. Much appreciated.

You will be the Mommy who makes nice desserts.

In really early school years, that's how your friends know your parents. Mine was the Mommy who made Nice Spaghetti. My friend's Mom was the Mommy who gave me Ice Cream. Another friend had the Mommy with Chocolate in her Bag.

I hope your Boo has fun in school! I remember the earliest years with the most fondness.

Oh, that first day is always a tough one. For Mom, I mean. I’m sure Boo will have a great time with all her new cupcake-loving friends. Happy birthday, Boo!
