Yesterday I sat down and sorted a pack of sprinkles into colours. It didn’t occur to me until Dan asked what the hell I was doing that this might be a little strange, I just didn’t want the decorations on my cupcakes to clash.
The day that I’d planned to make Declan’s cupcakes for his preschool birthday celebration was the same day my waters broke and I went into hospital, and then when I had Robyn on his actual birthday it obviously put something of a spanner in the works. As such Declan’s third birthday has managed to be dragged out over a month with the various celebrations and trips out.
Fortunately this is the last one, his birthday tea at preschool. Ten minutes where he is the focus of everyone in the room followed by the consumption of cupcakes, the only way it could get any better would be a personal appearance from Spiderman – we’re saving that one for his fourth birthday though.
I love that they’ll actually let you make something and take it in, Sofija’s school won’t allow parents to bring in ANY food at all, they say they make them a cake for their birthday but who knows.
Sanity is overrated anyway. The cupcakes look very pretty.
Heather – Yeah, I was actually a little surprised that they allow it. I think they’d be screwed if they had to make a cake, it’s such a large preschool that they’d be making close to one every day. He thinks it’s awesome, this was the first year he actually understood the concept of blowing out candles and I think it’s because it’s a weekly event in his class
Very noice!
2 of my kids birthdays are in school holidays this year, so they all miss out..damn shame
I was surprised how many schools down allow anything these days, ours is a bit behind the times and has only just banned peanuts.

Lovely, lovely little cupcakes.. very sweet (pun fully intended!).
And I agree that clashing sprinkles and icing on kids cupcakes is a no-go zone. Sorting sprinkles is so totally something that I’d do – except I’d have to actually bake first, and I don’t think that hell has frozen over yet.
