And Easter is on April Fool's Day this year. Hopefully some of you will have some fun with the collision of the two. After all, no matter the time of year, let the good times roll!
I attempted making a King cake for the first time this year; I took the lazy man's route and didn't bother to braid it like a traditional King cake. And, there was no naked baby inside to pose as a choking hazard, but all in all I thought it was pretty tasty. (My coworkers did too!)
February turned out to be a fairly busy month. Which is strange because usually everyone is still trying to recover from the holidays and the New Year.
Here's some of the goodies from her party, including sweets I made, savory dishes made by Pax, and the fun sodas supplied by their Madre.
I was excited to get to create another surprise cake and cupcakes this month too! And in my favorite sports team's colors with an accent in the popular chalkboard look. The party planners managed to keep this one a secret too, though I'm told Mrs. Judy was getting suspicious!
Speaking of sports - basketball playoffs were in full swing during February.
The local swim team was also wrapping up their season with an awards banquet and trip to state competition.
And, the McAlester High Pom Squad went to Disney again this year!
Of course, there was a variety of cakes and other goodies.
Baby showers.
Eagle Scout ceremonies.
Wedding showers. (P.S. these cupcakes were vegan!)
And, of course, more birthdays!
Ooo...I almost forgot. Pax and I took a macaron class at Belle Kitchen in OKC and Cheryl Belle (the owner) was our instructor. It was great fun and sometime, when I have plenty of free time, I'll try my hand at making macarons at home.
Until next time, happy baking!
