Cute Cupcakes with Cute Cousins

Try and say THAT three times fast, whew!

Well, recently my cousins’ celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary… yes I said 50 as in 5-0! So naturally our family felt a celebration was in order to celebrate the FIVE DECADES they have been married!! So almost our whole family got together and stayed the weekend at the beach in these adorable cottages and enjoyed sun and surf and of course cupcakes were involved. Unfortunately we were not 100% on the stove situation at the cottages so we cheated…. did you know that Publix sells undecorated cupcakes and cakes as well as their buttercream icing?! Yea, I didn’t either but it took one call and about a 24 hr notice and we had our items ordered! Gotta love Publix! I wanted to at least decorate the cuppies and my Mom had a brilliant idea… to decorate the cupcakes with my younger girl cousins! Good idear Mom! So on the first full day of beach time we took the afternoon to have a decorating breaky… plus it was a welcome break from the hot sun! Whew!

 SO I noticed something… creativity runs in my family! I am always amazed at Alyssa’s decorating eye but I was pleasantly surprised by Morgan and Lauren’s decorating abilities as well. I’m telling you… my future bakery will not need staff for years!! Keep it in the fam! :) I was able to fanaggle decorating the small cake we had bought to celebrate the anniversary as well as Morgan’s 15th birthday that was the day before.  It pleasantly turned out a bit Cake Wrecky but everyone seemed to enjoy it!
