Oreo Panda Cupcakes
Quick shout-out to Nicole, woo! She showed me her creation a month or so ago and I thought they were absolutely adorable. Now you get to see them, too. Hope she doesn’t mind, hehe. So cute!
Oh, and look, she made the olive and cream cheese penguins, too. :D
Photobucket and Quirky Cookery image issues
If you’re not seeing some of the pictures load here lately, you’re not crazy.
Well, you’re probably crazy if you’re here, but you’re not crazy because of the not seeing the images. Maybe I should’ve said “you’re not alone”? Hmm. ;) :P
Anyway, Photobucket has been having some issues lately and the best I can find online is that lots of people are having issues. It seems that it’s more likely to happen if you’re an international user. In general, the images will only appear broken for a few minutes, so although it’s a pain, just check back and do a hard refresh on the the page. Usually you’ll be able to see them at that point, but if not, I’m sorry. :( Hopefully PB gets its butt in gear soon and we won’t have to deal with this for long.
As a strange last resort, the main PB site is generally still working at the time and often the pictures that appear broken here and still in working order over there, so you could potentially sift through the QC PB albums. They’re organized reasonably well, but not perfect, as sometimes I upload pictures in the previous month’s album and then leave it there. :P
Mario Birthday Part 2 – Kiwi turtles, carrot flowers, cheese coin blocks
I told you that birthdays are all about the cake and food around here. Well it’s not limited to just the party. On your birthday, you get a special dinner. For me growing up, that meant every birthday I request spaghetti. My mom didn’t like it but it was my absolute favorite (I *still* adore it), so it was a big treat for me.
Well for the Mario birthday, I decided to just run with it. N loves sub sandwiches, so we were going to be having those. I considered making whole wheat buns and trying to make them look like goombas, but because I already had lots of fondant goombas from the cake, I went a different route and served veggies and fruits with standard subs. She loves veggies and fruits, too, so it wasn’t a stretch at all.
And of course, they were a huge, huge hit. She wasn’t expecting anything “themed” for her birthday dinner, so she was thoroughly surprised at supper time. She was so full from cake and such a few hours before that she couldn’t finish her food, though. She looked like she was going to cry before it was suggested she just wrap her plate, put it in the fridge, and save it for the next day. Starts of tears quickly turned to twinkling and there were bits of more excitement the following day when she got to experience it all over again!
Here are a few more pictures of her personalized vegetable tray:
