Beware of SHARKS!!
I love Martha Stewart! Is she not the most brilliant Mommy around? Ok, yeah, so she’s an ex-convict. Well nobody’s perfect :/
The Martha Stewart’s shark cupcakes sparked a shark birthday party obsession that spanned 2 months. But I had so much fun with whole process!

| Diver dude checkin’ out the sharks from the safety of his shark cage. The cake flavors are red velvet (for blood in the water) and chocolate (Chief’s and Dad’s favorite). The shark cupcakes I saw by A Baked Creation are what made me go out and buy a professional set of frosting tips with the big one to produce ocean waves. Martha used paper shark fins but I wanted only wanted edible cupcake toppers and I hate fondant. So I was really happy to found Amanda Grant’s blog, The Martha Initiative, where I got the idea of using fruit strips. They worked and they were tasty! I learned to blend the 2 frosting colors from a YouTube tutorial from Blue Door Bakery. |

The Chief is so lucky to have an artistic Daddy. He painted these sharks and the 3-shaped worm on the back door  |

| This is his mean shark face. Oh, and please excuse the spiderman underoos. He’s going through his “I just wanna let it all hang out” phase. Boys! I have to bribe him just to put on (and keep on) his underwear. Hope this phase ends soon :/ |

We all wore cool shark tattoos that I got from eBay and JAWS thirts that I got from Amazon.com. |
