Rachel’s Birthday

Rachel requested butterfly cupcakes for her birthday, so that’s what she got!  I used candy melts to make the butterflies.  They were pretty fun to make.  Oh, she also wanted cherries on some of them.  She has a thing for maraschino cherries.

The blue butterflies were her favorite.  She said she didn’t really like the pink ones because pink is not her favorite color.  Her favorite colors are purple and blue.  I wasn’t going to try and make purple butterflies, so she had to settle for blue and pink. 

See Jared’s tongue?  It runs in the family.  Our kids do that too, if you remember.  It takes a lot of concentration to light those candles.Rachel was pretty excited for these cupcakes after waiting all day for them.  She tried to blow them all out in one puff, but didn’t quite make it. I actually got some pretty wrapping paper instead of just using newspaper like last year.  :) Our kids have been into looking for bugs outside, so I thought this would be a great tool to find those tiny bugs. She’s pretty excited to “grow” some butterflies. Looks like she made out like a bandit!  Happy birthday Rachel!
