Father's Day Cupcakes

My daughter and I made Perry the Platypus (from the cartoon Phineas and Ferb) cupcakes for my husband for Father's Day. We still have six left to decorate (there are twelve altogether) but here's the process and initial result.

My daughter's stuffed animal Perry and the Starbursts that we used for bills. We also used Starbursts cut in half and dipped in frosting for the feet.


Photobucket
Graham crackers being shaped into the tails. I had no idea what I was going to use for the tails until I was hunting through the cupboard for something to use and went, "Aha! Graham crackers!"


Photobucket
Two cupcakes stuck together with frosting form the base for the bodies.


Photobucket
Completed cupcakes!

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful, amazing husband! Happy Father's Day to my dad and my father-in-law. And Happy Father's Day to all of you dads out there!

    Those are adorable. And how fun that you made them with your daughter! That was when the true fun of mother came into play--baking with my kids.

    If you're studying information from textbooks, use photographs or charts as visual stimulus for committing it all to memory. satta king

    As stated above, sleep apnea is not just unpleasant and tiring. When left untreated it is potentially fatal. Use the tips outlined in the article above to help deal with sleep apnea. Treat your sleep apnea and get it under control and enjoy longer and deeper periods of sleep.satta king

    If left untreated, you won't be getting the needed rest you need, which will leave you feeling tired and unable to concentrate the next day, and may even lead to serious health problems down the road.satta king
