I’m still working out several kinks in the new website and learning my way around Word Press (please be patient with me; I know my feed has been a bit whacky, sending out old posts, only snippets rather than the full content), so I thought rather than attempting to piece together pretty prose describing Mary Elizabeth’s sweet, simple, strawberry-themed family shindig, I’d just share some photos from the day.
In case anyone is interested, I used Martha Stewart’s recipe for strawberry cupcakes with strawberry buttercream frosting. NOTE: I ended up having to add about 1/2 cup powdered sugar to the buttercream frosting recipe because it tasted way too buttery for my liking.
Love the new layout, Kate! And you look gorgeous in your pic at the top. Congrats on your new bloggy blog :)
Welcome to the dark side Kate (aka WordPress). Looks like an awesome birthday party. I know Mary Elizabeth must have had a great time!
Your girls are all so very cute. Love Mary Elizabeth’s smile in the photo with the bars.
Had to tell you–we were inspired by the Martha Stewart cupcakes! We cheated for my baby girl’s 1st b-day and used a mix (my 7-year-old was in charge), and changed to this recipe http://savorysweetlife.com/2010/03/buttercream-frosting/
and added strawberry puree because I don’t like to cook my buttercream frosting. You might think all that means it doesn’t count that you gave us the idea but it totally does. That pink frosting topped with berries in your pic looks just too good!
