bake crew { golf cupcakes }

Today was my very last assignment for Bake Crew for Cailee's school and I knew I had to go out with a bang! The Golf Tournament was an event I have been looking forward to for months! Not because I golf or anything of that sort but because I wanted to make some cute looking cupcakes! And according to my 4 year old I nailed it! 

After getting inspiration from Pinterest I was confident enough to try these out! Every single tutorial I found said to use the Wilton #233 decorating tip to get the grass effect. Of course I didn't have that tip but I did have the Wilton #21 decorating tip and that worked just as well! 

And here you have them...my golf inspired cupcakes! 


These were by far the funniest cupcakes to make and from what I heard they were well received! 

Big kuddos to my sister for helping me with the little flags! She made them from templates she found on Pinterest of course ;)

Farewell Bake Crew!

room parent {easy end of year gift for the kiddos}

With the school year coming to an end so is my time as room parent. 
I wanted to give the kids a special end of the year gift, that could also serve as a keepsake!
I thought long and hard about this even though you could say its a no brainer.

A class photo was the best keepsake option for the kids and for their parents! Double win!!

I found these rectangle unfinished frames for less than $1 at Walmart. I already had the paint and permanent marker needed for this little project. It really does pay to stock up on arts and crafts items ;)

During Charlotte's nap time I was able to paint all 17 frames and believe it or not they only need one coat of paint. 


I added the school name(edited out of photo) on top of the frame and class year at the bottom.


I got the sand buckets at the Dollar Tree and the frames fit perfectly inside! I also added bubbles and a bag of snacks!


The other TK room parent and I coordinated so all our kiddos would get their end of the year gifts together!


These gifts were a big hit with both the kids and their parents!

Not really sure how I will top this next year but I can't wait to try ;)
