My favorite part of Sawyer's Pirate birthday party last March were his Tic Toc Croc Pirate Crocodile Cupcakes that were a last minute thought that came together effortlessly. In the past, I've made some pretty elaborate cakes like my Mickey Mouse birthday cake, but this year I had spent some time on other projects, and it became the night before the party, and I still had nothing.

Here in New England we might have had a hard winter but it's surprisingly hot here already. Yesterday alone was 90 degrees!

I've seen these fun sponge bombs all over Pinterest and a few weeks ago I picked up some … [Read more...]
