The first Monday of each month we have a birthday party for our colleagues born in that month...this month Anne McDonough (smiley person on far left) was the only birthday person! Margaret and I decided it would be fun to make it an interactive birthday party and have everyone decorate their own cupcakes!
We each made two dozen cupcakes...vanilla and chocolate...and brought in canned frosting...vanilla and chocolate....and toppings galore...and little doodads like toppers, funny cupcake things and the like.
The party was a huge success...the men were a bit intimated by the hubbub...but they eventually came in an grabbed an unadorned cupcake to eat!
The decorators were so creative....
In case you can't tell: this is called "Ode to Kitty Litter"....Everything is better when it's sparkly!
This party was so much fun and everyone was chatting away...and eating cupcakes! Happy Birthday, Anne!
CQ will be visiting France next week....ooh lala! We'll see what kind of cupcakes we find there!
Rock On!
