We had a fun Independence Day weekend; not only was it Independence Day, it was also my son’s second birthday and our friend’s baby’s first birthday party. Unfortunately, the entire morning, noon and night of July 4th was rained out. It literally rained constantly the entire day! There were some brave people who ventured out to light fireworks until midnight or so that night, so we got to see a few.
July 5th was our big day, however. I made cupcakes to celebrate my son’s second birthday and also Independence Day (although a day late).
Just plain old vanilla-on-vanilla. He had quite a time blowing out the two little candles and was actually upset when they were both blown out! He had such a big day that he stayed home with daddy and slept while my daughter and I went to our friend’s baby’s first birthday party. We had a great time there as well and had lots of yummy food and cupcakes and ice cream for dessert!
I hope everyone else had a safe and fun (and non-rainy!) holiday weekend! :)
Happy Birthday to your little one. :)
This is a very cute, simple cupcake. Love the sprinkles around the edge. Very chic.
Great Blog! Cute cupcake for your little boy.
Aww I love the liner!! :D
This may be a dumb question, but how to you put the sprinkles on just the edge? Is there an easy way to do it? Love your cupcakes! :-)
Crystal, I poured a lot of sprinkles out onto a plate, and after I frosted the cupcake I just rolled the edges of the cupcake into the sprinkles. That’s the only, and easiest, way I know how to do it! :)
