Happy May Day!

Happy May Day!

Just wanted to show you the May Basket Cupcakes I made this year and share with you some great new baking supply shops I've recently discovered.

I bought the plastic basket handles and cupcake liners through Layer Cake Shop. This etsy shop has lots of great things and I was very pleased with my order.

The same basket handles and similar cupcake liners are also available (and less expensive) through Bake it Pretty. (it pays to shop around). I can't tell you how excited I was to find this shop! You know what it's like to find a shop that so exactly matches your sense of style that it feels like it was created just for you? I just ordered her vintage button chocolate mold. Here's a link to her "Candy Buttons 101" tutorial. I can't way to play with this!

I think it's obvious that I was very influenced by the colors and designs shown on both of these sights.

I'm also excited to to tell you I've been visiting with Lyndsay from Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Bakery & Cupcakery Supplies. She has an awesome baking supply shop with a great section called "Handmade for you By Talented Cupcakies".

My daughter will be graduating from high school in a couple of weeks. We're having her reception at our house so I've been working feverishly to whip this badly neglected home into shape! I finally got some of the redecorating projects I've been working on done! I've posted the photos on flickr and I'm about to blog them at Flying Time Designs. This weekend my mom is coming over to help me tackle the yard. So that's my excuse for being such a lazy blogger lately. Who knows when you'll be hearing from me again! Until then, take care!
