PI day cupcakes

Cupcakes for my daughters 4th grade class celebrating PI day, they had a class Pie potluck. Since it was her birthday my daughter asked for cupcakes that were
science related !!

They are studying the periodic table and each child was assigned a element to research. so I decided to make cupcakes picks with basic info about elements and a few facts about them.

The children read the facts out to the class before eating the cupcakes.
Now that's what I call smart eating !!

Diya Cupcakes for Diwali

Diwali the festival of lights is nearly here.As my daughters grow older, I feel the need to make it
a special celebration for them, so as they grow up they can value and cherish the festival as I do.
Its hard for them to feel the excitement, as most other children around them dont share the celebrations. I have made it a point to have a Diwali party every year were we do a gift exchange with other children(which they really enjoy).
We love baking cupcakes. Here are some Diya cupcakes we baked over the weekend.
I made the Flame with fondant and a leaf shaped cookie cutter & orange food coloring.
The gold cupcake liners give the cupcakes a diya look.

A Special Birthday Gift.

My Sister-in-law's birthday is coming up. Its 15 Aug actually, but since my parents were heading over there. We decided to send her gift early.I usually stick to gift cards as it does away with having to recycle gifts & being fake polite.How many bath & body sets does a person need!!!

But earlier this year we had bought these beautiful pair of earrings from zihuatanejo.



The girls kinda felt left out, they wanted to send something too. So we baked a batch of our fav cupcakes

Rhea had fun icing it.

Rhea's gift was ready.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISHITA

The Cupcake stand.

So when my 8 yr old wanted to set up a lemonade stand in our neighborhood.A bulb flashed in my head!! Why not a cupcake stand? Every one loves cupcakes. So I suggested,she set up a cupcake stand at the Induz Open house & picnic & donate part of her earnings to charity,she was all for it.
The cupcakes were a big hit & my daughter had a blast selling them,
she made $ 50 in one afternoon. Half of the amount, she donated to Induz
