Savannah And The Tale Of a Pink Cupcake Tree

A little girl turned one the other day....


And she was quite excited about it.
While noshing on a yummy cupcake, she spied something to her left.

She saw a pretty pink cupcake tree.

And she was eager to get her hands on that pretty little tree.

Ooh! she got caught!

She had fun playing with her new toys.

But truth be told, her big brother may have had a little more fun than she!

Such a beautiful little silly little sweet little girl!


*I've had so many people ask me how I made the cupcake tree! I first saw the idea in a recent issue of Food Network magazine. We painted a flower pot and a foam ball pink, then stuck floral foam in the pot. Then we cut a dowel rod to the height we wanted, stuck it in the floral foam, and popped the foam ball on top. I baked mini cupcakes, using white liners. Then we used toothpicks to secure the cupcakes to the tree. The cupcakes were very wobbly and starting to slide off, so it may be better to try and superglue them and just not eat them. Also, I'd put a weight of some kind in the bottom of the flower pot next time because it easily tipped over.

That cupcake tree is super cute. I'm going to ponder on that idea for my daughter's 2nd birthday. It's not until October so that should give me some time to think about attachment.

Happy Birthday to Miss Savannah!
