Easter Wreath

I wanted to make a wreath that would be nice for Easter but that I could keep up a little longer if I wanted to. I think this fits the bill.

Daffodil Cupcakes

 Here is a little spring. Daffodils are one of my favorite flowers, I love to see their brilliant color after such a dark winter. 

I made these blooms out of royal icing the night before, so they would dry out completely. And finished of these cupcakes with buttercream.

My Favorite Butter Cream Frosting

1 cup butter, room temperature (two sticks)

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

5 cups powdered sugar

1/8 tsp. salt

1/4 cup and 1 Tbsp. milk

Blend all ingredients till smooth.

Stained Glass Butterfly

This Stained Glass Butterfly is super easy to construct. I used the same method I did when I made the Stained Glass Pumpkin. I did modify the way I put on the clear contact paper. I cut out my black outline of a butterfly from construction paper. Then I took a big enough piece of sticky contact paper. I pulled the backing from the contact paper slowly and adhered the outline to the contact paper. I then put the backing paper back on the contact paper and cut around the butterfly. This made it possible to not have any over hanging contact paper. Next you just need to take the backing off and put on any color of tissue paper. My kids enjoyed making these and even my three year old was able to participate.
