Cupcakes from afar

Finally a quiet weekend!  It feels like the calm before the storm.......

I got an email from Jess of Simply favours, who is based in New Zealand, to ask me about surprising her Mum for her birthday.  You see, Jess' mum was in Perth, helping out with the newest addition to the family, baby Chloe.  I was delighted that through the wonders of modern technology (yes, that makes me sound old).... that Jess found me on flickr.

Jess decided on cupcakes of the family.

 The idea that even though all of the family couldn't be together for her Mum's birthday, that they were all there on cupcakes!

I had visitors from out of town staying with us (think carefully when you extend such offers) and too many people in a small house isn't the most ideal environment for cake decorating.  But Jess' thoughtful gift was just an order I could not refuse.  After all, mums are pretty important people!  I hope the cupcakes were all enjoyed and that the lucky mum had a wonderful birthday!
