Everyone sang one happy birthday song to my two little babies. I felt a tear well up in my eye and pushed it aside allowing myself to enjoy this moment with them.
He loved the singing, the attention and the cupcakes- eating it all up as if he was famished. She on the other hand screamed at the candle flame (can you see her look of horror above, “Mom, not a step closer”)! She warmed up quickly though as the sugar from the cupcake entered her mouth.
The cupcakes were honestly some of the best I have had in my life. A Barefoot Contessa recipe and a grandma with mad baking skills made for a well feed party. They were topped with love…
They were also topped with a nice collection of orange fuzzy balloon picks that will soon be available in my new etsy shop, but we will save the talk about that exciting news for another day soon- stay tuned…
I hope you enjoy hearing about the twins birthday festivities. It was so fun to create and I am loving the chance to share it with you all.
As a special treat I have a giveaway today- a Sprinkles Mixture of cupcakes, your choice of flavor, thanks to Williams-Sonoma.
To enter you just have to tell me what is your favorite cupcake to eat? Mine is either the Chocolate-Orange at Heavenly Cupcakes in San Diego or the carrot-cupcake pictured above, yum! I will be closing the comment section Friday night at midnight and will choose a winner at random.
BLESSINGS

The best I ever had were at a wedding last June. I don’t know who made them, but they were amazing. I stole three before leaving. It was so cute with all the different kinds instead of a cake.
Oh my lord, those pictures make me want a cupcake RIGHT NOW! I really loved the chocolate cupcakes with all manners of fun frosting on top that my friends surprised me with when I celebrated my 25th birthday overseas. I’m also loving Charm City Cupcakes in Baltimore – any place that makes over 60 kinds of cupcakes gets a win in my book.
