Cupcakes for Caitlin

Caitlin will be celebrating her 4th birthday at her day-care centre tomorrow. Today, we were busy baking little cuppies for her friends. Ashleigh, and our friends, Joyce and Aunty Rosie came over to help decorate the cupcakes. Later in the afternoon, we were joined by official taste-testers - Kev and hubby.

The three decoraters did a great job - so colourful!
