Cupcakes!!

So, a couple of my friends have been having this "cupcake war," which I believe has been going on for some months, now. The whole story's pretty long, so I suggest you take a look at their video documentation of it: the beginning and the response, which tells the story much better than I could. (They're also pretty funny!)

Anyway, the whole thing got me all bothered about cupcakes. I mean, seriously, when was the last time you really enjoyed a cupcake?! So I decided to bake some myself. Not only were they yummy, but they turned out beautifully, as well!

They were vanilla, with butter cream frosting on some and strawberry on the others -- and sprinkles, of course! I haven't learned how to make frosting yet, so I used store-bought and piped it on. I think I did a fantastic job!

Slouchy Hat!

I found a new hat pattern that I loooove.... I made one for myself and my sisters! And my brother, too, but I'm not sure if he'll actually wear it, haha.


Anyway, here's a picture of the variation I made. (That's little sister looking oh-so-excited to be my model/guinea pig) I named the hat La Sonrisa -- Smile. It's too colorful and happy-looking to be named anything else!

This is another hat made from the original pattern, with the pretty little puffy details and all. I like the style of these hats because they don't mess up your hair...and they're just plain cute, too.
