Martha Stewart Who?

So for my sisters birthday I decided a long time ago I wanted to do something red, black and velvety... of sorts. We both LOVE red velvet, and especially when our grandma Madsen made it, it was the best ever. So, I wanted to make some cupcakes and had the idea of dying them red and black (her favorite colors), and doing a ladybug thing, since ladybugs have always been her thing.

Here are some pics:

Before Frosting

After Frosting

Can you see the ladybug? The red frosted cupcakes are a chocolate chip cupcake food colored black, and the black frosted cupcakes are red velvet. Both with a cream cheese butter cream frosting. I tested out the chocolate chip cupcake recipe a few weeks ago, and they were dang good, but this time, not as good as I remember? But I have to admit, I was so taken aback by how awesome the red velvet ones were, I thought that I would never be able to make a cake or anything red velvety as good as my grandma! She must have blessed me with the gift.

On a completely different note, I've recently become more infatuated with nail polishes eye shadows etc. And you would have thought that I would have become more during school... But that was pretty much all hair I must say, I've been loving me some free time to experiment with my make-up and see what I can get away with, and what I know how to do. I'm becoming more and more obsessed with the health of everything, especially skin care. (I've always loved learning about hair care too). So now I just need to find more money to buy a few more things to "try out". One day. One day I hope to have all kinds of make up to do my kids, for their prom etc. I mean why not? And as for my little girl on the way, I really really can only hope that her ONLY addiction will be to nail polish. :)
