Hey, honey, I made vegetables for dinner. Just kidding! They're cupcakes! The corn cob is made from Jelly Belly jellybeans. The mashed potatoes are just piled icing, drizzled caramel sauce, and yellow Starburst butter patties. The peas and carrots are green Runts candy and cubed orange Starburst. Another successful piece of cupcake artwork (idea from "Hello, Cupcake," of course). And, they are also a celebration of the release of a new book by the same authors called "What's New Cupcake?" It was nice to have the first week of April off for spring break, and thank goodness April Fool's Day fell over the break. Third graders relish at the opportunity to trick their teacher, but this year all the jokes went to parents instead of teachers. Over the days off I obviously made cupcakes, and I enjoyed a trip to Georgia to visit my 22 month old nephew, who has really blossomed since I last saw him at Christmas. Now he can say my name "Kee-yee" instead of calling me "Da-da." He is also into trains now (choo-choos) and loves his Teddy, Buzz, and Woody. His second birthday party is fast approaching, and I promised him a train cake. I'll be searching for ideas to create the perfect train cake complete with a long line of cupcake cargo. As my nephew would say, "Eat choo-choo!"
