Friday was my birthday and my husband took some time off and treated me to a wonderful day. Thanks honey!
I thought I would share an idea of where I get my desire to paint cupcakes and cakes. In the photo below I was celebrating my birthday at the tender age of 3. Who would have guessed what a dessert freak I would become! My sweet older brother, Joe, stepped into the scene to help me carry this heavy load. As you can see from my dismay, I thought he wanted it all to himself. In the end I'm sure I won out and gobbled up that heavenly concoction which led to the slim and trim figure that I had the time. The look on my face says it all, "Get your hands off my cake!"
