Month in Virginia Post #1

The kid's were able to sign up for the Library program which they loved.  All the libraries in the county there are run together so we were able to visit a few.  In front of each library there was a painted book sculpture, each painted uniquely.  (This one had seen better days, but it's the one I remembered to get a picture in front of)  The kids attended a couple of programs at the library.  The first was a watermelon themed one where they were able to paint a tile with a watermelon on it for free.  In a week you could go back and pick it up after it had been fired.  Another program was put on by the Maryland Science center.  It was about flight and they even blew up a little blimp for us.


Of course we had to try out Cupcakes Actually.  All I can say is delicious!!



Above are some cupcakes that I made for a  wedding shower that my Mom threw.  White cake with a light fluffy buttercream, chocolate with chocolate ganache, chocolate with buttercream covered in ganache.

I was seriously thinking how good Cupcakes Actually make their cupcakes look, and then come to find out... they're yours. I'm glad you're ALL back home again.
