Order Up: Happy 50th Birthday Uncle Nicky!

The order:
6 Dozen cupcakes - vanilla and chocolate

So if you didn't know, birthdays are a big deal in my family. We love to celebrate them, big or small, but when it comes to a "special" birthday, we all go out on a limb...or really just give ourselves another excuse to get together?

So when it came time to plan my uncle's 50th, I knew I wanted to do the cupcakes. I was already dreaming up ideas in my head. Uncle Nicky is a mechanic and his one hobby is racing jeeps/racecars...bascially bouncing around in something with a supped up motor and lots of mud. Insert idea! Making a bunch of cupcakes, setting them out and having them appear like a racetrack.

Here are some wonderful pictures (courtesy of Stephanie Ulrich Photography) to capture the details!

Oh hello little flipped over police car.

Slow down says the signs in the back coming up on the big turn! And yes, that is a mini-mater resting in case someone needs a tow ;)



The little trucks wishing one day they will be a big truck!

Last but not least, happy birthday Uncle Nick! Hope every wish you made comes true!
Now where's the cherry vodka?!?!
