May The Force Be With You

This past weekend, I had a little fun with a special order birthday cupcake cake. Let me start of by saying that I am most definitely the "Queen of I Don't Give a Crap About Anything Star Wars." That being said, I did enjoy this past weekend's special birthday order. A good friend of mine from work has three kids, the middle of which is a HUGE Star Wars fan, Commander Cody being his favorite. Now, when the idea was presented to me back in January when I did her daughter's cake and cupcakes (Success Never Tasted So Sweet), my first thought was "Who the heck is he?" And my second thought was "I've got plenty of time to figure out how I'm going to make this happen." And then it was the week before, and I had less than zero thoughts. Let's just say it was a "let's wing it" situation. And the outcome, although not perfect, according to young Jonathan, was quite the hit!

I'm excited about how it turned out, even more so about how I was able to so easily put the whole thing back together when I arrived to set them up for the party. Even the toughest critic of all had to admit it was quite cool. I can't wait to see what this means I am able to throw together at the last minute in the future. Maybe procrastination isn't so bad after all!
