pink lemonade cupcakes & a nora fleming freebie

madison's love language is baking.

 cupcakes are her specialty.

often times at night before she turns in,

she'll be downstairs whipping up a couple dozen to celebrate a friend's

birthday at school the next day.

on this particular day

one of her girlfriends was celebrating with a pool party.

madi added a packet of kool aid pink lemonade

to a regular yellow cake mix for the cupcake batter.

she then made a homemade buttercream frosting

& added 2tsp from a second packet of koolaid so the frosting would also have a

light lemonade taste.

she then cut little straws & added umbrellas to create little

poolside treats!

they were delicious!

 

 

 the platter & little blue crab mini pictured above

are from the Nora Fleming line.

we have loved our serving pieces

& the little mini's are a great, inexpensive way to add a little fun to your table

or bunco munchies, or after tennis match spread, or just to sit poolside.

our friends at Carol & Company.

 have a special offer for you.

if you purchase the keepsake box

(which will keep 9 mini's all safe and sound)

you will receive the blue crab mini for FREE.

special will run until midnight sunday, june 17.

no code necessary

:)
