Would you believe that yesterday was another crazy day? No one got hurt, though. I just had strange annoying things happen all day long, like for instance, when I treated myself to a Starbucks latte and dumped it in my new vehicle. Things like that.
However, I did get to spend half an hour in the kitchen, frosting some cupcakes. I had children buzzing around but I managed to stay focused and enjoy making something pretty for my family.
Wanna see?
Aren’t they lovely? I made the cupcakes from a mix, and after they cooled, I had fun mixing up a nice light shade of purple frosting. Then, I walked outside in the wet grass, wearing my green flip flops that hurt my toes, and collected the little violet blossoms. When I came back inside, I dried their sweet purple faces and pressed them down in the icing. Some cupcakes have coconut around the edges, which I think makes them look even prettier!
I think I’m in love with cupcakes. Stay tuned for the next creation!
Good to be Home 
Those cupcakes are so CUTE? Yum I hope there is one left for me this morning! XOXO Amanda
I ment so CUTE!!!!! not? OOOPS
They ARE gorgeous! And the fresh flowers on them just make me smile. For our youngest son’s rehearsal dinner a few years back, we served a beautiful salad that had edible flowers in it ~ it was so pretty ~
so beautiful.
Oh my, I can almost taste that first one — I absolutely love coconut!!! (I have green flip-flops here at the beach that hurt my toes too!!!)
ooh….I could so devour one of those lovely creations right now! have a beautiful weekend!
They are so pretty.
Quite pretty. I think the ones with coconut look especially lovely:).
They look yummy! Your kiddos didn’t object to eating flowes? 🙂
I meant flowers……
Time for a garden party!!!
I’ve been served salads with pansy flowers – and, who knows, maybe even violets. I’m still alive – no poisoning! – so I guess they are edible! Yours are pretty on their little cupcakes, whether they were eaten or only used for decoration.
Woderful! I love ’em!
Hope today is better~ Cinnamon
Those “off” days must be going around ’cause I’ve been having them too
oh they are quite lovely! Isn’t it so fun to do little “creations” like that…..and the kiddos enjoy it when mom gets in the baking mood too….=)
Those are so pretty! Next year I think I’ll try that. Our violets are gone already.
Beautiful!!!
A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E. cupcakes. I’m sure they are delicious too. Mmm….
I’m in love with them, too! They look so “Springy!” I don’t think I would want to eat one because they are too pretty!
Ohh. When the violets in my garden bloom, I’m going to do that!
Those are so pretty! I like the coconut edge too. We have had nasturtiums in them and violets on things too…I think it is fun I made green sandwiches once for St. Patrick’s Day…my kids would eat them, but some others thought green sandwiches where to strange. Hope today goes smoothly!
I love cupcakes! Yours are so pretty too….especially love that last picture! The lighting is gorgeous!
Very pretty … almost too pretty to eat .
Have a great Friday and weekend!

Very sweet violet cupcakes! So pretty, Shan. Sorry about the spilled latte. Those kind of things can be so irritating.
