Bully Buddies Benefit Show

So as I have been posting in my last few entries, one of my best friends Jessica put together this amazing benefit show for the dog rescue that she works with (Mid Atlantic Bully Buddies). There were 3 bands (123), raffles, t-shirts, dog collars, and of course my cupcakes. I had so much fun rockin out to the live music and selling my cupcakes in the "cupcake corner" (as Jessica referred to it as lol). And it made me feel even better that everyone loved the cupcakes! All the proceeds went to her organization :) Thank you everyone for supporting a great cause!!

Here are some pics.... I was so mad I, again, forgot my camera :( I was running around all morning frosting the cupcakes and boxing them up and getting everything together that I didn't get to take any before I left either. Luckily, my friend Lauren did have her camera and snapped a few for me at the concert.

Fondant Doggies

So we the snow has finally passed! We should be ok for the next few days... maybe a few inches Sunday/Monday night (but I'm hoping NOT!). Did I mention this is a "record breaking winter" we have had this year?! Anywho, we thawed out a little bit today and I was able to get outta the house. Only I would be SO excited because I got to use my 40% off coupon at Michael's to finally buy the Wilton fondant/gumpaste tool kit :)

Since I didn't have to work yet again today, I decided to made some fondant/gumpaste blend doggies! I, of course, used a tutorial. It's amazing how "easy" they are if the steps are broken down for you. I need some more practice but I am very happy with the way they turned out :)

I am going to use these for my display at a fundraiser/benefit concert my good friend Jessica has put together for Sunday. If you are in the Baltimore area try to come out Sunday and check out some awesome bands. There will be raffles and of course CUPCAKES (made by yours truly) in which all money raised will be going to Mid-Atlantic Bully Buddies! Oh yea admission is $15 and all of it goes to the organization as well.
