A reason to celebrate....

Today was Teresa's last exam of her Bachelor's degree. She's excited and we are excited for her. Clearly this is cause for celebration. The get together with everyone is on Thursday, but why put off celebrating today? 

So for the creative lady, I made a creative dessert: Colorburst cupcakes! (Okay- It was a win/win. I've been wanting to make them). 

I found these on a website my friend Crystal sent me: http://www.ourbestbites.com/. Creative cooking for those of us who haven't quite mastered the Martha Stewart or domestic goddess status yet. 

They didn't turn out exactly as I hoped because of the colors. Maynooth lacks a variety of food coloring. So I was working with the colors of red and green. The obstacle was to make sure they didn't look like Christmas or tie dye. I ended up with the colors peach, red, green, light green, and white/plain. 

I think she will love them! Thankfully she appreciates effort over perfection. 

Congrats Teresa!
