Cupcake Crazy!

Law school graduation day{May 21st} was a very big day in my life, but for my roomie, Stephanie, it was a Really very big day because she graduated from law school and it was her birthday! Needless to say, I went a little cupcake crazy... I wanted to make cupcakes for my roomie's birthday, cupcakes for my family's and future family's luncheon on Saturday after graduation, and some extras for friends. After a long day of baking, 72 cupcakes were created! Here was the breakdown of flavors:

Vanilla and Chocolate Marble with vanilla icing
Chocolate with chocolate icing
Vanilla with lemon icing
Vanilla on Vanilla for the Plainers

For decor of the graduation cupcakes, I channeled my innner Bakerella and tried to make some little graduation hats. However, when you graduate with a doctoral degree, your standard mortar board will not suffice. It becomes imperitive to wear hats that somewhat resemble a chef's/painter's hat.

mi-a michelangelo-a hat-a (that's my italian voice)

Call it sheer luck, but I found some Godiva chocolates that matched this hexagon looking hat! {i know, who would have ever thought i would be scronging through the chocolate isle?}

For Stephanie's Birthday cupcakes, I custom made a tiffany blue {or close enough} vanilla icing and finished it off with some pearls and handwritten birthday picks.

Here are some pictures of the cupcake craziness:

One week ago today, I GRADUATED FROM LAW SCHOOL! I always knew that I wanted to go to law school so I went to college knowing this ambition and graduated in four years {which seems to be rare these days}. Soon I was off to Thomas Goode Jones School of Law in Montgomery, Alabama. For those of you who don't know, law school is hard! It's been a long, hard journey, but it was worth every minute of it. I found my future husband, made some wonderful friends and even learned a thing or two! I was fortunate to have my family and my future family there with me. As with most doctorate degrees, each graduate has someone to "hood" them with their doctorate reglia. My hooder was my dad which made the moment even more special. After graduation, my family, future family and I went to Dreamland BBQ in the Alley to eat lunch. It was overall the perfect day! Here are some pictures from last Saturday:
