LCC goes to the senior center

Our next adventure was at the senior center!!! 
we made chocolate cupcakes (read the post below to learn how to make them yourself!) And decorated them with cute icing gingerbread men. 
(sorry we don't have a picture.) 

The senior center manager was soooo happy!  We are glad our cupcakes have the ability to make people as happy as the manager was!

VFW


LCC goes to VFW

VFW is a place were Veterans go to hang out. VFW stands for Veterans Of Foreign Wars. They can go there to talk, drink, eat, and hang out. On Saturday they went there to eat cupcakes!

Saturday Fudge, Chocolate and I made two different kinds of cupcakes. We made vanilla cupcakes and RAINBOW cupcakes. We decided to keep the vanilla cupcakes and give away the rainbow cupcakes.  After the cupcakes were baked, we decorated them, tasted them, packaged them, and drove them to VFW. 

At VFW the Veterans that were there were really happy. I really hope they enjoyed their cupcakes. 

Back home we tasted our vanilla cupcakes. They tasted wonderful. 

The vanilla cupcakes (we dyed them pink).

The rainbow cupcake batter.

Ready to go!
I really enjoyed going to VFW and making Veterans happy.

Peace Love and Cupcakes


One of my favorite books is Peace Love and Cupcakes (written by Sheryl and Carrie Berk).  After I finished Peace Love and Cupcakes an idea sparked in my head. That idea was LCC.

A short summery of Peace Love and Cupcakes:

Kylie Carson always gets teased at her new school. She has lots of trouble making friends. Kylie comes up with a ‘sweet’ idea to make friends. She should start a cupcake club! 

Soon Kylie has lots of good friends and is making tons of tasty treats, but Meredith, the schools meanest bully tries to ruin the club’s big cupcake party. Will the cupcake club survive? Read it to find out!


If you enjoy reading Peace Love and Cupcakes the next book in the series is already out!


Peace Love and Cupcakes ( book 1 )
Recipe for Trouble ( book 2 )

I look forward to reading this!
