Happy Tea Party Tuesday!
WOW
What a WILD and CRAZY WEEKEND!!
In the past 3 days I have designed over 80 cupcakes!
WHEW
I was going to post another fillo mini tart recipe but
I received an amazing call on Friday and I wanted to
share this experience while it is fresh in my heart.
The call was to ask me
if I would be interested in donating
CUPCAKE CENTERPIECES
for the
Ronald McDonald House
Charity Dinner
This dinner is being put on by volunteers
who serve a home cooked meal
to the parents of sick children who are
receiving treatments for their respective diseases.
I wished I would have had more time
to put into my designs but they needed the cupcakes
by Sunday and I was also hosting a fun
Halloween Extravaganza for
some families at my daughter's school
so I had to chose some designs that were
quick, yet seasonal and meaningful.
Here is what I whipped out:

| Excuse the photo quality I was rushing like a mad woman!!! |
I might not have made the most
glamorous, elaborate designs...
and looking at the photos I see tons of
flaws in my piping and technique...
but in the end, I hope this brings a smile
to a person who needs their heart lifted.
And here is why I chose what I did:
1. SUNFLOWER – ALWAYS WITH ITS FACE TO THE SUNSHINE
““The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.”
2. BEAUTIFUL FALL LEAF AND THE IMPORTANCE OF EMBRACING CHANGE
“Without change there would be no butterflies”
3. THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE – A SYMBOL OF HOPE AND COMMUNITY
"It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself."
We talk about the importance of "taking time for tea"
and this weekend I realized that my "tea time" was spent
doing something for others, not myself, and in that
simple action my cup is overflowing.
The words ring true..."no man can can sincerely try to
help another without helping himself".
The POWER of saying, Yes...Yes I can.
I am excited to see what YOU are bringing for Tea!
