OK i Know I am posting a lot but I just knew you guys would cheer me when you saw I DID IT - I made the piggycakes. It was so good to do something silly. We were hysterical laughing after we put the first one together.
Happy Valentines to everyone!

Um - can you imagine if I were just keeping them for myself? lol I wouldnt put it past me but not lately! They just went to school - my kid was so pleased and both bf and I walked him in with them.
I am curious to see how other parents interpreted the "please make funn cupcakes for the cupcake walk" I just ended up dressing up my cupcakes like for Halloween or something!

Super easy.
Red food coloring in butter frosting to turn it pink. Then marshmallows for snouts, chocolate chips for eyes. Then for the ears, we took marshmallows cut them in half and shaped them into ears. I used a dab of frosting on snout and ears to secure. Then you can buy these frosting cans with tips already and we bought black to put two dots on the snout. It went VERY quickly once we understood it and had parts ready to assemble.
TOtally worth it and we really did get hysterical laughing once we saw the first one assembled. We might as well have been drunk. I think we really needed the fun time together too after last week's stress!

here ya go.
I had a 12 year old violin student over here yesterday and she saw them and just went all gooey - 12 is such a great age. Wise and still very giggly - I love teaching girls that age.
Let me know how it goes if you decide to take the piggy plunge:)
