Weekend Cupcake Challenge

It had been quite a while since the girls had used any of their reward cards.  Jordan had "Cupcake Challenge" for a long time, and I finally had the ability to let them have a go at it.  


There is a new Joann's that opened up in my area - it's nowhere closer than the old one, but it's a nicer store and it's in a safer location. Because of the Grand Opening, I had tons of coupons which I used for disposable decorating bags and some new coloring.  


So, I made the cupcakes and got them cool and then I colored the frosting.  I was not too happy with the "pastels" that I chose - the colors weren't that great, but the girls didn't care.  They had two different colors to choose from (note to self - need more decorating tip holders) and PLENTY of sprinkles to choose from.  I handed Mandy the camera and told her she was in charge of photographing the event, and then I removed myself.  I did not want to micro-manage their creativity or stifle it because of the mess they were going to make.  I knew enough about myself to get the hell out of the way.  


When I returned, the cupcakes were done and I had a ton of photographs.  Many of them were too bright and the images were a blur from Mandy's (lack of) skills, but there were a great many fun pictures.  I took the last two to get all of the girls in the picture.
