A few years ago, when we lived on a tiny island where the sun rarely shined and we wore coats all year long, my daughters and I discovered a little show called Cupcake Wars. It's brain bubblegum for sure, but it was safe, family friendly, and very creative.
That silly show inspired us on those endless gloomy days to bake and creatively style cupcakes. We probably made a different batch every week for months and we loved every minute and every bite.
I'm thinking something in lemon would be appropriate for my little celebration and I think this cupcake dress just might be perfect for the big day too. In the mean time it's something yummy for today's post and it is even sweeter because this cupcake dress has been a long time in coming.
Every year I order a couple of dresses from The Other Sparrows. It's a spring tradition that I've kept every year for the past five or six years. I always look forward to their new prints which typically come out in March or April. For obvious reasons the new spring line was delayed this year, but I still wanted to show my support.
This year, I am looking forward to my birthday. Every year I look forward to it, I'm glad to alive and thankful for all I have, but there's always that little measure of dread. You know that little voice that whispers I'm a year older and less relevant and valued by society and ominous music plays!! That's not the case this year.
I've made a lot of personal progress in my physical, spiritual, and emotional well being this year and I am feeling more like my old self that I have in a long time. I'm ready to celebrate with nothing held back and no little nagging voice. But, I would love to hear from you. Comment below and tell me your favorite kind of cupcake to help me make up my mind for my birthday this year.
Googling "pomegranate cupcakes" results in some tasty ideas.
