With an August 1 birthday, Big Brother has never celebrated his special day with his classmates at school. This year he has a teacher who loves birthdays and wants each child to feel special on their day so she invited him to share cupcakes with the class sometime during the first week of school. He was very excited.
While I was envisioning chic little cakes with creative toppings {think Real Simple cupcake designs}, my school boy knew exactly what he wanted... yellow cake, chocolate icing, and smiley faces.
That afternoon the boys had fun making happy cake faces using mini M&M's and Twizzlers. Packed for transport, Big Brother took them to school the next day. I am told they were a big hit. It made me happy to watch his excitement and pride in creating his own cupcake design... which turned out to be real simple after all.

Under the word love in the dictionary, my dictionary of life, would be this. I don't know why but the cupcake photo made me teary eyed...just too sweet, the whole story.
I've commented once before - your request for easy summer dinner recipes, I think. I found your blog through my friend. I check in every once in awhile, scrolling through all the posts on the current page.
Today, I thought to tell you that whenever I stop by here, I always leave refreshed.
Thanks.
Aww these are so cute! Need to whip up a big smiley batch for myself right now :)
Those are perfect! Both my boys have summer birthdays and have also never celebrated at school. These make me want to think of an excuse to get cupcakes into their classrooms.
What a great story. I love the name "smiley cakes" too. What a great mother you are to invite/allow children in your kitchen :)
I love that you let your boys decorate the cupcakes their way...I'm pretty sure I would have lost patience and finished them my way :).
OH yes, Love does suffer long! Love how you put it.
What wonderful little smiley faces! Don't you just love how kids assert their own opinions and ideas, and what they create is truly special!?
His happy design has lifted my spirits today.
Oh, Happy Day!
And I think these cupcakes are marvelous. Sometimes doing exactly what they want is far more charming than anything we dream up on our own!
