This year for Xander’s 8th birthday (8? How can he be 8 already?) he asked for Dale Earnhardt Jr. cupcakes. He wanted them in the shape of the car number 88. That was going to be quite a few cupcakes and since we’d be transporting them? Eek. That seemed iffy. We ended up deciding to do the car logo on a toothpick, like a sign. There was some confusion on my part as to what color those cupcakes should be, what logo to use, where the logo should go. Thankfully I was able to chat with Xander about a week before and lay out my plan, show him the logo, and get him excited about them. You see… it’s all in the presentation. I used plain old silver liners since the colors were blue and silver, piped on blue frosting and used some silver star sprinkles I had. They turned out way better than I had hoped. Xander wanted to keep all the 88 signs. He would hand out cupcakes, but make sure to take the sign first. I’m glad I was able to make something he really liked. Sometimes the designs I make require some imagination to figure out what they are – this time he knew right away. Thankful for this boy who is 8 and already lost a tooth! He’s growing up so fast.

New Flash: Boy turns 8, loses tooth, gets old way too fast.
