How to Tie Dye a Cupcake

Everyone has seen tie dyed clothing, but tell me something have you ever seen a tie dyed cupcake? I saw these adorable cupcakes done by one of my fellow scrapbookers and could not wait till I had the opportunity to make them myself! Emberly was having an '80's themed birthday party so I finally got my chance!
After making your cake batter you divide it into 4 different bowls and use food coloring to dye each one a different color.


Nate wanted to help so he and I worked on them together!
After you have your colors mixed you just layer the colors in one at a time filling each 2/3 of the way full.

Bake as usual and set them out too cool!
Add icing and sprinkles to decorate and there you have it!
If your cool enough to have access to a silhouette cutter you can add these awesome cool cupcake wrappers for even more coolness!
and Viola! YUMMO! There you have it a tie dyed cupcake!

My Little EZ Baker

Got an awesome new kit tonight from Penny's CT and just had to play around with it. Here is what I came up with. I am so happy that Miss Emberly likes her EZ bake oven! Those cookies look oh so yummy too!
Not too much new and exciting going on around here. We are all getting kind of tired of all the snow. It seems like it is always snowing. Nathan has Baseball signups this weekend, whicj means baseball season will be here befor you know it. AJ goes for his contact appointment tommorrow. I know he is really looking forward to getting them, but the Dr. is not so sure he will be able to wear them because his eyes are small. So I guess we will see tommorrow. Th boys have been working extra hard on their school work lately so I am glad of that.
Well thats about it for now. It's about bedtime and I left my Zantac at work. Uh Oh. I had pasta for dinner so this could be a really long night. Oh well what can I do now?

Crazy Glo Golfing!

Tonight we were feeling a little bit of cabin fever so gathered the kiddos and the Berkers and went to the Mills for some Glo In The Dark Mini Golfing. In true AJ fashion he cleverly named his ball "Granite" I personally think he has been spending too much time studying minerals in science class.
AJ made a new friend while we were there too!

Unfortunately Alan did not! Poor Big Al!

The Berkers and Nate where in a group together. For some reason they where much faster than us.

OH No The big scary shark tried to eat my boys!!!!
and then they fought him off with their clubs!

AJ though he had some great technique going....um...NOT!

and Big Al thought he was playing pool! (by the way he got it in!)

then a big scary Knight came out of no where and tried to attack us!

and AJ protected us!

Pretty Colors! It was all really neat!
Silly Monkeys!
Look I was there too!

We had fun! It did what it was meant to do, get us out of the house and have a good time. We needed it, especially since we have a bunch more snow on its way. Thanks Lee for the treat!
