Strawberry Cupcakes

I found a huge amount of strawberries at COSTCO last weekend and thought it was time to make the Strawberry Cupcakes from the Martha Stewart Cupcakes cookbook. I also thought it was a good reason to show off the pretty tray I snagged from Target's Liberty of London collection. These cupcakes were delicious, tasting of strawberry shortcake topped with strawberry milkshake icing. A perfect way to celebrate the beginning of spring.

Cupcake batter with strawberries!

Birthday Cake!

My friend and I worked on this birthday cake last week for her son's first birthday. Not bad for the second try at fondant!

Lost

I'm a little disappointed in the Lost episodes thus far. Here's hoping it improves soon.

New Painting!

I finished this painting in two classes. The assignment was to paint an atmospheric background with a figure over it. The source was a black and white photograph, so we would have to make up the flesh tone colors ourselves. It's a little out of proportion, but I like it that way.
