Kind of a weird title for a blog post, huh?! I was looking through the pictures on my phone and thinking about what I wanted to write about and it basically came down to cupcakes and bribes, haha.
On Friday, Jimmy and I attended our cousin Leia’s first birthday party. It was such a sweet evening with family and friends!
Since Leia’s name is well, Leia, her mom and dad did a Princess Leia theme for the party. Guess who got to make Princess Leia cupcakes 🙂
I also made chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with chocolate buttercream and strawberry and vanilla cupcakes with strawberry buttercream! It was fun to pipe rosettes again since I was so focused on them for my sister’s bridal shower a few months ago.
As for the bribing I mentioned, Jimmy and I were driving into church this morning and I looked down at my lap and had to laugh.
Jimmy and I have been teaching the preschool-aged kids on Sunday mornings this month and I usually reward (aka bribe) them with food if they listen to the lesson, answer questions correctly, and generally behave. Today’s treats were M&Ms and mini Oreos!
Well, I am off to take Lola on a quick walk, and then Jimmy and I are headed into evening church! Bye until next time 🙂

I love the purple dress you wore to the party! Also, the cupcakes were adorable 🙂
Aww, thanks Olivia!!
Those cupcakes look delicious!
Thanks, Amy! They were so much fun to make!
Lol approve of that. I try and get my volunteers to pay attention to first aid training with Mars Bars!
Hahah yes! I am glad I’m not the only one who uses food as a bribe!
The party was awesome and the cupcakes were the best!
Dad

Thanks Dad!!
Those cupcakes are soooooo CUTE!!! GREAT job!
Thank you, Nicole! That means a lot coming from the cupcake master herself!!
Haha that’s a great idea to bribe the kids with fun treats! Will and I also serve in that age group at our church and they are SOO sweet and fun when they are listening 😉 Maybe we need to bring some candy next time… haha!
Isn’t that age group just so much fun?! They are always saying something funny!! I highly recommend bringing treats in 🙂 Works like a charm!
The cupcakes are adorable! You seriously need to open up your own bakery!!
Aww, thanks P!! That means a lot 🙂
Leia is so cute in that picture and to see that she is one already time only flys. It fells like yesterday that i was looking at her in the hospital.
I agree! I can’t believe how fast she’s growing up!
Bribes are always a winner with little kids. 😉
And happy birthday to your little cousin! She’s a cutie!
Truth!! And thank you! I can’t believe how fast she’s growing up. She is now toddling around and babbling like crazy!
