Boy! if you like colors...and after this winter...who doesn't! Have I got a treat (tweet) for you! I know fans~ this is not twitter...

Here goes!

I started with these colorful & beautiful cupcake batter:

And ended up with these AWESOME CRAZY VANILLA CUPCAKES!!!!

Crazy Vanilla Ice Cream = Rainbow Ice Cream was always one of my favorite flavors growing up as a kid. It was no wonder these cuppycakes scored super BIG points with me. They were fun, moist, and delicioso!!!

So to top off the fun-ness! As if you could get more excited about these sucker! These were what I used with the.... (sound effect: Dundun-dunnn): FLIPPY FLOPS!!!!

I started with filling the layers of colorful yummy batter...

Stuck these suckers in the oven...

Yes, closer look...so moist with vanilla-y fragrance!

Topped 'em with nice fluffy PINK vanilla buttercream...

And WALA! Cinderella-little-girls-birthday party...FLIP FLOP STYLE~

And to match the pretty girl's birthday event, I even made a batch of yellow & pink ones!

Spring is definitely full of Soooo much fun & Soooo many vibrant colors!

More to projects to come!

But for the little girls eagerly awaiting to celebrate their spring birthdays and cute-as-a-button Sunday dresses for Easter weekend...God will have to swing one for us!

How adorable are these Lilly Pulitzer girl's dresses

In preparation for an absolutely divine birthday party this Easter weekend that revolves around some much needed pool time, Lilly Pulitzer's pink & green, & Easter Sunday...

I made these wonderful little flip flops to delight the little princesses 'n their endless imaginations... Perfect for some playtime in the sun: Afterall, every princess must have the 'perfect' matching shoes to her outfit!

A look-see at the whole collection:

Yes, these are made out of sugar - little candied pieces of flip-flop sweetness!

Which Pair would you choose?

A pair out of the spring green collection?

Or the pink & sweet?

Maybe one of these cute stripes or paisley ones?

Yes indeed, before I knew it I was surrounded by cute flipflops that were too cute to eat!

However, I'm pretty certain once these were topped on vibrant & luscious cupcakes, little girls will have no problemo' devouring these buuuutiful spring & lilly pulitzer inspired delights~

This one is my favorite!

My girlfriend, Dina, also came to help me with these to surprise our friend for her very first babyshower. She had no idea we were making these for her. Dina came up with the idea of these cute little baby butt cupcakes in 'Huggies'! I was speechless, they were so adorable and what an conversation piece for the babyshower! :D

What a good time we had making these together! Even our husbands couldn't help but make their own creative "baby cupcake"!

Before we knew it we had 30 completely unique cupcakes all for our dear friend's babyshower!

Check 'em OUT! They just make me laugh. You can clearly tell which ones our husbands made...
We'll start off nice with Dina's original creations! She had the signature princess babies since our girlfriend is having a girl they were all "pink-asscessorized" babies:

Her fiance', Joe, is actually quite creative with his cartoon-ish look with VT + Nike Swoosh logos on the baby beanies:

This carton is a combination of all 4 of our creations:

Brace Yourselves!!!! These were my husbands creations...they didn't look so 'baby'-like...

Finally, these were my creations of baby faces:

They were all packaged up & ready to go! Here's these spotlight stealers at the babyshower:

Here's the baby mama picking out her favorite!

I think the expression says it all, She LOVES them!!!!

No time was wasted before everyone plunged in these Butter-Free creations - Guilt free & all! Yes, us ladies can have our cake 'n eat it too!

Candid shots of the intensity & concentration on delvouring these yummy suckers :D

Oh the joy of babyshowers (with yummy cupcakes)...

Yes, its time to go... They were just soooo cute!

Bye babies...

Literally, since they were eaten!

The End!

cakePOP! :D

I'm super excited to write this post. Usually, I wait a week or two (sometimes months) to post up pictures, but these cakePOPs are...SOOOOO CUTE!!!!!

Ever since I saw the Bakerella blog on her cakebites & etc, I've been waiting for an occasion to make these cute little delectable creations!

So what do you need to start this fun little project to put the 'excitement' back into birthdays or as Emerald would say the "BAM!" back into desserts.

1. styrofoam 2. sprinkles 3. cute birthday accessories: tissue paper + paper gift bag + container 4. flower cutouts

5. candy melts 6. microwavable bowls 7. ribbons

8. ghirardelli chocolate

Then mix cake with your favorite buttercream and mold them into these little cupcake shapes. Follow the rest of the detailed instructions on Bakerella's site.

WALA! cakePOPs!!!!!

Packaged and complete with a golden 'homemade' seal to make the birthday boy feel extraordinary.

I also boxed some of them into a little chocolate truffle box as little preview tastings not for the birthday boy but the friend that asked me to make these for him. Such a sweet & thoughtful friend. :)

Then we packaged these puppies up...

These cakePOPs are ready to make a bold statement at this party.

Once these cake-popping goodness arrived...they were a KnocK OuT!

Just see for yourselves...

There were some sounds of YAYYYYY!

There definitely were some sounds of 'Hmmmmm'!

Yuppers! Bakerella was right...these little delights are cake-popping Yummm!
