Sprinkles Cupcakes

A few weeks ago I made a pit stop by Sprinkles Cupcakes. I was craving their Red Velvet cupcakes, yum yum! While I was there, I picked up four doggie cupcakes. When I decided to give the treats to the girls and Roscoe, I was really wishing I had made videos of everyone eating them instead of taking pictures. So, I apologize now for all of the pictures, but I think its still funny looking at them!


 Did someone say "treat"?

Sissy is trying to sneak a bite before she is told she can have it.


Sissy is eye-balling her sisters while guarding her cupcake.

 Hershey's trying to make a b-line for hers.


 I think Hershey is going to sneak a bite!



Hershey got her tongue on it before I told her No.


Everyone is waiting patiently.


Polar Bear is scheming.


Tired of being told "NO!"


Polar Bear eying Hershey's cupcake.


Roscoe finally gets to eat his cupcake.










 Sissy's turn..... 


Didn't get a picture of Sissy eating hers, I think I was side-tracked telling someone else NO.

Now Polar Bear finally gets to eat her cupcake.

 





Polar didn't know what to do with it. She kept licking it and it would turn over. I would sit it up again and she would turn it over again and again. We did this several times until she gave up for a few minutes before she finally ate it.









Hershey didn't mess around! Once I said she could have it, it was gone in one bite!

Springtime Pictures

 Our flowers have come out in full bloom the last few weeks and I was excited to take a "few" pictures of the girls and Roscoe (see previous post to learn about Roscoe) on our back porch. I say a "few" because it was more like 200 pictures with only a hand-full that turned out. It was fun taking them and they tolerated it well.  Someday I would like to take their pictures in the bluebonnets, but haven't yet because of how they might act. Maybe after this session they will be well behaved so we can do it.

Meet Roscoe....our foster dog.

Almost two months ago, we started fostering a lab that needed rescued. He's an 8 year-old, male, black lab with a lot of energy!  He has been fun to have around and the girls seem to have adjusted to him invading their territory.  He loves to play frisbee and has shown Hershey how to play with one as well. We're not sure how long he's staying, but until he can find a home with wide open spaces and a family that will give him a lot of attention (ie. play a lot of frisbee!), he's going to keep us very entertained.

Barbie Birthday Cake

I was asked this week to make a Barbie Birthday cake for a little girl turning 3 years old.  I was a little nervous at first, 1. because, it was my husbands lieutenants granddaughters birthday, 2. it was for someone I didn't know, and 3. repeat number 1 about 10 times!  Well, I decided what-the-heck and jumped right in. After doing a little research online, I found a cake pan made just for the occasion. The next part, and hardest for me, was to find a doll I could turn into a cake. I knew the colors for the party were pink (thank-goodness because all Barbies are pink and if it had been some random color like....lime green, I would have been in trouble!) I finally found one I thought would fit perfect in the cake and that the little girl would like too.
