The Cupcakery Is Back

Since I've been back in Denver

 

taking care of this sweet little guy,

my daughter's co-workers have been

inquiring....any cupcakes?

How can we turn down such a devoted following?

So last week, 

we put on our aprons and started baking.

We baked our vanilla cupcakes

with butter cream frosting.

They're always yummy, but
the star of the cupcakes were going to be

 the sweet baby birds of spring.

We made a ring of frosting to form the

 shape of the nest,

sprinkled on toasted coconut to create

the perfect bird's nest.

The baby birds were the most fun to make.

Using the mini Cadbury shelled chocolate eggs

 we piped a tiny bit of yellow frosting for beaks and

then added two black dots for eyes.

Don't they look like hungry birds?

My daughter sent an email out to

inform the gang in the lab
that there were cupcakes!

In 10 minutes those cupcake deprived coworkers

had emptied the tray.

 Wish I had a picture of that.

I'm not sure who was hungrier,
the co-workers or baby birds.

Until Next Time-
