Raspberry Ruffle Cupcake

These cupcakes were fun to make. The cake was a basic chocolate cupcake. But I made two flavors of buttercream icing! The red buttercream frosting was made with a regular 4 ounce package of raspberry jello, dissolved in hot water. The white buttercream had melted white chocolate in it. I used a new frosting tip called as Russian Piping Nozzle, and garnished the cupcakes with candy sprinkles and white chocolate flakes to resemble flowers. The person whose birthday it was, was super delighted!

Easter Birthday Cupcake

Vanilla and malt flavor cupcake with vanilla buttercream tinted green, rolled in coconut and topped with malt ball eggs.

Botanical Garden

Check out the giant butterfly and the small brown, tan, and red bird in the upper right quadrant of this other picture. Desert biome at the Botanical Gardens downtown.

Orchid

My phalenopsis made a lovely display of blooms this spring. There were two stems of flowers, and they lasted for about a month. The plant is still going strong, and them stem didn't die back after flowering! There is a small chance I will be able to use keiki paste with any results.

Cactus Dish

I re-did my cactus dish.  The living stones have been holding up quite well, which is a relief because Lowes is not carrying them this year.  The trick is not to over-water. Which my current schedule that is fantastic news!!

Shower

The glass shower door fell off the track and shattered upon impact with the tub.  It was a huge mess.
