From 1455 until 1487 the rival houses of Lancaster, with a badge of a red rose, and York, with the badge of a white rose, fought a series of battles known as

“The War of the Roses”

They say it's your birthday...

we're gonna have a good time.

Here are the The Beatles cupcakes Danielle and I made for my mom for her birthday party. I made them a head of time, but the decorations were a complete collaboration effort between the two of us.


"We all live in a yellow submarine."

"Strawberry fields forever."


"I'd like to be, under the sea, in an octopus's garden, in the shade."


"Blackbird singing in the dead of night. Take these broken wings and learn to fly."


The Beatles! In their Abbey Road album cover outfits.


Geroge.

John.

Paul.

Ringo.

Our favorite, although his head is a little small and therefore he looks a little chubby.


I think considering this was the very first time I used fondant it was pretty sucessful. We had a few problems. We had to redo Paul's head, John's glasses bled and made it look like he had two big eyes, they wouldn't stay on the cupcake stand because they were too heavy and the stand is slanted, and the black food coloring marker we used for the submarine and Paul's eyes turned green. But whatever, it was super fun and a great learning experience!

So thank you so much to Danielle and Happy Birthday again to my mommy!
