Moana Number 4 Cupcake Cake

Hi guys,
Here is a quick guide for how I came about making Baby Magic's 4th birthday cupcake cake. Don't you just love cupcake cakes? I do. They are easy. you can form them into anything you want them to be and there is NO CUTTING! Makes for easy serving!

Disclaimer - I ordered the figurines from Walmart.com and they SUCKED! Moana is NOT Moana. There were a lot of paint transfers and some of them were disfigured so I couldn't use them. I opened the pack the night before to clean them and by that time it was too late.

I always draw out my design so I know what each section of the cake will be. I didn't take a picture (sorry).

Here is a tutorial in pictures.

I made palm trees out of pretzel sticks, green candy melts and used chocolate chips for coconuts.

Fill any large gaps between the cupcakes with frosting or marshmallows. I usually use marshmallows because I don't like to waste frosting.

The beach sand is graham cracker crumbs. I used a grass tip for the raised grassy areas.

I used an open star tip to make the ocean

The bootleg Moana.

The completed cake!!

This made my daughter happy, so it made me happy!

Here is a Paw Patrol cupcake cake I made for my friends' daughter earlier in the month. I forgot to take pictures before I iced it. And this is one that I ended up freehanding because my design wasn't going the way I thought it would! Nobody's perfect, but they were happy with the cake! I wanted it to be a little girlie so I gave it roses!

XOXO

Dial Vitamin Boost Giveaway

Howdy folks! Dial sent me a bottle of their new Vitamin Boost Body Wash to test out. They even sent me a few coupons to give away to you guys! Don't they ROCK?! Yeah they do, and so does this new body wash! I got the product a few weeks ago, but as is with most things that come to my house, it just sat in the living room unopened. Not because I didn't want to open it...but I've been a little short on time. Even with several snow days it seems like I just don't have enough hours in a day. Does that mean I don't wash? NOOOO. It means that this body wash just made it upstairs with me this morning! LOL I'm always skeptical about "moisturizing" body washes. I have extremely sensitive, eczema prone skin. So I really have to be careful. Even some washes that claim to be triple moisturizing dry me out and leave me wishing I had one of those cat towers to rub up against. So I finally got to test the waters with this one. Here are what this product c

Dial Baby & Kids (Giveaway)

Let me start by saying that the toddler years are fun...and a true test of faith and patience LOL! I love my little tot with everything I have in me. But every day she tests my limits in way I didn't even know were possible. I mostly laugh. She is a very spirited little girl who LOVES to be outside. I mean she will cry to go outside and sometimes all she wants to do is climb in a chair and sit on the porch and watch the cars go by. On this particular day though...(Jesus be a fence) she wanted to chase lizards, pop bubbles, shred leaves, kick her ball in the sticker bushes and throw a flower pot off the deck to see how far she could get it to go. Maybe softball is in her future, who knows LOL. That said ball ended up bursting from being repeatedly kicked in the sticker bushes... After our world wind backyard excursion, we go inside to have a snack and settle down a bit. Luckily she likes to wash her hands. I mean, she almost had that lizard! She really enjoys Dial W

Baby Magic is Here! My Birth Story

Princesses get their way. And true to form, my little princess decided that she, and only she would be in control of when she arrived. Forget about me or the doctors trying to schedule ANYTHING! **This is a long post that goes into detail. Read at your own risk.** On Sunday, July 21st...no scratch that. On Saturday, July 20th, I was having cramps. They weren't too painful and were coming only about once every hour. Honestly, I thought I had gas. I had a good bit of visitors that day and told everybody that I felt like I was going to have the baby soon. I was already on bed rest and wasn't doing much. Thanks to some awesome friends, I had enough food that all I had to do was warm it and eat it. After all of the company left, I really just wanted to lie down. So I went to bed. I was awakened maybe 3 times during the night with these "cramps." The next morning I got out of bed about 10:30am (late for me) and took a shower, hoping that the heat would soothe me.

Ro Made It!
