On Father’s Day
We had an understated celebration at the house today, which included small gifts and a hefty banana pudding pie. I can’t wait for the girls to be old enough to understand days like today a little better. My oldest asked if it was Daddy’s birthday. No, it’s not. In fact, in some ways I think it’s even more special than a birthday. I don’t think fathers get much better than my husband, and I look forward to the day when his daughters can fully appreciate him as such and can tell him so in their own words. Until then, he’ll have to just take my word for it. Happy Father’s Day, Cory. You’re the best!

Butterfly Cupcake Toppers: Tutorial
These little candy butterflies are super-easy to make and add a sweet a colorful touch to cupcakes and cakes!
You need:-
Starburst candy or similar soft candy (I tried Airheads as well,
but found better luck with the Starburst) -
Tiny heart-shaped cookie/fondant cupper
-
Non-stick rolling pin (found in cake decorating section of stores)
-
Smooth, clean countertop or non-stick cutting mats
cut out heart:
then another:
pinch ends together:
et, voila! You have a butterfly!
Now go back and make a bunch more.
Store these little fellas in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them so that they’re nice and stiff. If left out, they may soften more and start to droop or become misshapen.
