Sweet Birthday Surprise

I realized that I didn't post my birthday present from the boys. I had been telling Tom all week that I wanted Cold Stone ice cream cupcakes, which Ian picked up on and used as a catalyst for his birthday present to me.

Here it is!

A very girly cupcake maker!

Last Saturday, I opened it up and we made cupcakes. In the microwave. The machine "decorates" the frosting onto the cupcake.

We had a lot of issues with consistency.

The boys did not care.
The picture on the box was much more impressive than ours.

It was a lot of angst-filled fun trying to get the contraption to work right and get the mixes right.

But it's the thought that counts and my son was so proud of this gift.
