Happy Meal Birthday

My husband is a chef, so on his birthday, I HAVE to go all out for his dinner and dessert. He wanted gourmet hamburgers with all the traditional sides. And for the dessert, I got a great idea from a cupcake book my Mom got me last month. I made these:

Hamburger cupcakes!

(A brownie smushed in between two flat cupcakes, with green dyed coconut and red and yellow colored frosting, topped with sesame seeds.)

Cookie fries with pink sauce!

(Cut up sugar cookies sprinkled with sugar crystals and pink frosting on the side.) 

I love how they turned out, and my husband hasn't stopped raving about them. He had to show all the guys at work. I also love how simple they are to make, as far as desserts go. And they were pretty yummy, too. We made em up for all the fathers for Father's Day too.

I know hubs was going easy on me, he could have asked for a much more complicated meal. But this one really made him happy, and that's what counts. It made the rest of us happy too!

Ink It Pink Challenge #2

For the second PBD challenge, the card I made was simple, yet definitely manly:

It's another Father's Day card, too. I just have so many good, father figures in my life!

It was my first time inking up a scene, and being fairly new to stamping I'll admit I was pretty nervous. It wasn't so bad, and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. I guess I just need practice, practice, practice! Too bad my two little monkeys hardly allow for that...

Ink It Pink Challenge #1

I'm so excited to start entering into challenges again!! Here's my take on the "use words for background" challenge, and since Father's Day is right around the corner... well, two birds with one stone, you know.

The fathers in my life LOVE candy, so this jelly bean one is for my dad:

And the gummy bears are for my husband (shhh, don't tell!):

Along with the cards, I'll include a real bag of goodies.

I had so much fun inking up the cute, little candies!
