Easter Treats

 While most people were decorating eggs today...


...Don't get too excited, I didn't bake.  CARLY made the cupcakes, and Aunt Rochel made the cookies.... but I did help them decorate:)  Carly and I saw the Jelly Belly's ad in the Sunday Paper a few weeks ago where they showed off a whole bunch of these.  We've had it hanging on our refrigerator ever since,  and Rochel and I planned a decorating party.  Shockingly, BEN even helped decorate the cupcakes.  Although, he spent most of his time entertaining Eli, who's Auntie was feeding him jelly beans.  (You are Welcome, Edgar!)


The white cupcake with the red dot is Carly's nod to the people of Japan.  Most of these are covered with Starburst jelly beans, Jordan almonds, colored sugar from the Mennonite store in Michigan, bunny shaped marsh mellows, and ridiculously expensive spring colored candy corn from the scoop bins at Target.


Mostly, I wanted to have a decorating party so I could swap Rochel 24 cupcakes that Carly made, for 24 Sugar Cookies that Rochel made.  Whatever it takes to get the cookies, I guess.  They are insanely good.


This one with the bunny is my favorite because it reminds me of the cards I make... but I must give Rochel credit for the decorating design.  



These are for Rochel's Sunday School class tomorrow... I am hoping not many kids show up.  Wait, that's probably not very nice...


And the cupcakes we helped decorate for Rochel...  Yum!

... now I've got nothing against coloring eggs, but these go a little better with COFFEE:)
