It's nearly time for that wonderful annual aging event... the birthday! This year, the them is Mexican. Odd, considering I live in South Africa and I absolutely loathe tequila (I'm sorry, it smells vile and tastes like I'd imaging boiled 6 week old socks would taste). Not so odd considering I really enjoy the idea of making your own food with wraps and ingredients. It's also a fantastic opportunity to experiment with something new... Margarita Cupcakes!
I'm not going to bore you with the recipe, purely because I'm using my own cupcake recipe and I'm going to play with the icing... if it works, I'll post it in a post-party blog... with pics! If you're in a hurry to know how to make them yourself, the blogosphere is full of fabulous recipes which inspired me to have a go.
The props for the evening have all been purchased, with the exception of limes, lemons and the food lol. I have a sombrero... flaming red and bought at a craft and packaging shop of all places! Some dried red chillies for decor (same shop), some mexican confetti (from a stationer) and some fabulous chilli print serviettes (craft place again). I also found some marvelous lime green candles and bought some orange ones just for fun!
Now all I need is the food ingredients, the drinks ingredients and the time to put it all together :-) Oh, may even purchase some tea light candles and have some great brown paper bags to dot around the place... Should be fun :-)
Until next time...
