AK canning jar

So, we got through the illness last week, then cleaned and cleaned anything that may have had nasty, disgusting germs on it.  By the time Friday rolled around, we were ready to go for my older daughter’s delayed birthday party.  We celebrated with family and Princess Bride cupcakes on her actual birthday, but she wanted something different to have with friends.  Her choice?  Winter olympic cupcakes.

Yep.  Those are snowboards, skis, ice skates, and olympic rings made from homemade fondant on half gluten and dairy free vanilla and half chocolate cupcakes.  They were a lot of fun to make for my sweetie.

Head over to Laura’s for Menu Plan Monday.  The Gluten Free Menu Swap is being hosted this week by Asparagus Thin.  She has picked Red Carpet Meals as her theme.  Fun!  but…  I’m afraid the closest I’m getting to anything “Red Carpet” style is if juice gets spilled this week.
